Internal combustion engines have a future, and so do we. A consortium of Japanese carmakers “strengthened” by Yamaha / Kawasaki wants to build the best engine of all time.

Finally. After years of relentless competition for every Japanese yen and every portion of sushi, engineers from Toyota, Subaru and Mazda sat around one table. And they poured themselves some sakes and agreed to put their heads together. And they’ll build a really perfect internal combustion engine to cover all the mouths of all those electro-fans. And as they said, so they did. Well, that table was more of a CAD system in computers, and it was more like tea, but it’s still progress.
To car brands and motorcycle manufacturers
Kawasaki and Yamaha motorcycle manufacturers also joined the three Mohicans. The latter company in particular has extensive experience with engines for car manufacturerssmall and “spinning” 1.25 Zetec in the third generation Fiesta starting and the impressive eight-cylinder 4.4 in Volvo S80 and XC90 ends. In addition, with an overlap with musical instruments. After all, he has three crossed tuning forks in the character, that speaks for itself. Everyone agreed on one thing: the end of internal combustion engines is nonsense.

This is probably not surprising given that all of them have a global existence on the production of vehicles with internal combustion engines. Being a Toyota is a time the first Prius “hybrid” and therefore applies to electric motors, its main field is still the engine in which the individual phases of the combustion process take place. And it doesn’t matter if the fuel is gasoline or hydrogen. Moreover, the argument for maintaining internal combustion engines is not only technical but also social.
The social level of the cessation of production of internal combustion engines
Let’s take a closer look. According to the head of Toyota Motor Corporation, Akio Toeda, millions of people will lose their jobs when the production of internal combustion engines and the subsequent production of cars are stopped. On a global scale, the numbers will be even higher. Which, of course, tormented (perhaps) by the outgoing Covid and hopefully ended the war in Ukraine as soon as possible, is nothing that the world would probably care about. Peace and stability is what we need most of all. Not social unrest.

If we add to this the high prices of new electric cars, which are unavailable to many motorists without subsidies (and subsidies are of course not a “gift”, we all pay them in the finals, each with their own work) such a heavily pushed path of electromobility seems even more pointless. If it still works. And neither Elon Musk, nor the European Union, nor the enthusiasm of some electrofanatics will change that. With the change in technology and prices, the card may turn around, but so far it doesn’t really look like that.
