BREAKING: Dailmer ENDS ICE Development 😲 ______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [9/19/19] This is MAJOR news! Daimler, the main company of Mercedes, AMG, Smart, has announced that they have ended development of the internal gas combustion engine. What does that mean? Well ended is a strong word, haunted is more appropriate but when they say “this generation of ICE powertrains could be the last,” ended seems like a better term. Ok, so basically they are saying that their latest generation of engines, the new inline 6, V8 and turbo 4’s, more than likely will be the last new generation of engines the major company develops from scratch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏁 @Allcarnews INDUSRTRY UPDATE 🏁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This means that these engines of course can be updated and modified until they are banned from the world but an ALL NEW gen of ICE engines is a no no as there are currently no future plans in the company for their development. Instead, Daimler is quite literally going ALL IN with electric development, something the need to do because they are not doing EV’s right. The EQC is a prime example of this, basically an combustion platform modified for an elector drivetrain, something the EQB will also do… This is bad as you don’t get a trunk, range is minimized but it is a + for them as they save $$$$. In the future though, we should see more dedicated EV Platforms from the company. ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: Keep in mind they have already poured billions into EV development! ________________________________________ -Glickenhaus -Text by @allcarnews -Images by Mercedes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #MercedesBenz #Electric #EQC An #allcarnews post #V8 #Inline6 #AMG #race #Mercedes #Daimler #German #PHEV #rare ||#powerful #performance #turbocharged #advanced #SupercarsRevamped #Supercar #HyperCar #ItsWhiteNoise #CarLifeStyle #carnews #automotive #lifestyle #carbon https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ma3TLBbB6/?igshid=1r7af18mrj0gy
