Cars, all details on methane ones

The beginning of the methane car crisis, as previously mentioned, began about 6 years ago, due to the separation of manufacturers such as FIAT and the group Volkswagenwho have always been the main producers. These brands have chosen to focus on the development of hybrid and electric carswith the Turin company choosing to put aside LPG after a long use of this technology.

Another reason for the fall of methane cars is related to the long approval periods in the WLTP cycle of these cars, even if there is another issue that we have not yet addressed. Of course, Methane prices have risen sharply since the start of the war between Russia and Ukraineand the two-year period 2022-2023 gave this technology a definitive blow.

As for the future, with the current regulations methane is going to disappear completelybecause it still relies on an internal combustion engine, which from 2035 onwards will be banned in Europe in terms of production and sales. Therefore, on this front it is a fate that is shared by petrol, diesel, hybrid and LPG cars.
