The theme of e-fuel is very popular. been much debated in recent months due to the political vicissitudes within the European Union of which we have spoken many times. As we know, Germany is one of the most important countries in Germany. managed to obtain a derogation on e-fuels from the European Union. Therefore, from 2035 new endothermic cars will still be able to be sold as long as they are powered exclusively by these fuels.
However, within the automotive sector, manufacturers are expressing different positions regarding e-fuels. Mercedes, in particular, seems intent on favoring electric motors as they are "technically superior" compared to endothermic ones powered by e-fuel. Statements that come from Ola Kallenius, CEO of Mercedes, and which have been reported by Automotive News Europe.
The advantages of the electric 
The electric car is still a young technology compared to that of the combustion engine. We still see great potential for progress: electric traction will overtake the world. the internal combustion engine in terms of performance by the end of this decade.
For Kallenius, electric motors can still make important progress. In any case, even if Mercedes is aiming straight for the electric one, there hasn't been a chance. forgotten about endothermic engines. Indeed, it is working to adapt its engines to the new Euro 7 legislation. investments in endothermic engines by around 80%. China will be the last market where these engines will be available but only in a Plug-in hybrid version developed in collaboration with Geely.

Kallenius said the switch to electric cars is coming sooner than ever. faster than expected. Precisely for this reason it is; It is necessary to work to expand as much as possible. the charging infrastructure as quickly as possible and promote the production of green energy.
The charging infrastructure must be expanded as quickly as possible. quickly as possible and we must do everything possible to promote the production of electricity. green.
The Mercedes number one then indicated another critical element in the situation. on which it is necessary to intervene and that is; the strategy on raw materials and, in particular, on lithium.
The creation of capacity is essential. in the mining and processing of lithium it is a gigantic industrial enterprise. These raw materials will not all be mined in Europe. For that, we need trade agreements with Canada, South America and Australia. That's where it's at. Government support is needed.
Kallenius then reiterated Mercedes' plans to decarbonise.
Four years ago, we stated that our new fleet of vehicles , across the entire production chain, is expected to become CO2-neutral by 2039. our goal.
