Stellantis, the multinational automotive manufacturing company, has initiated the reintroduction of diesel versions of some of its models in the European market. This move comes as a response to the growing presence of Chinese automakers and the softening of regulatory pressure for the complete elimination of internal combustion engines by 2035.
According to the company's own announcements and data analyzed by Reuters, the revival of diesel includes both passenger vans and hatchbacks such as the Peugeot 308 and the DS 4. This decision reflects the realities of the European market, where electric vehicle sales have fallen short of projections, and regulatory flexibility has reduced the immediate pressure for a complete phase-out of combustion engines.
