Hyundai suspends production of diesel engines

Due to increasingly strict restrictions related to gas emissions, the automotive industry is turning to electrification, which will have the greatest impact on diesel engines. Those restrictions forced Hyundai to make a decision to suspend diesel engine production.

Following the Dieselgate affair, in which Volkswagen was in the spotlight, the cessation of diesel engine production was accelerated. Data show that hybrids and electric cars are more popular than diesel. Thus, the South Korean company Hyundai has suspended the production of diesel engines, but will continue to improve the diesel engines produced so far.

Hyundai plans to produce hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the coming years, leaving room for the survival of gasoline engines that engineers manage to make more efficient to meet new regulations.

From 2025, the Euro 7 standard begins to be applied, leading to the inevitable era of electric cars as well as large investments in new platforms.

Hyundai has announced that it will have 23 fully electric models by 2025, which was announced with the Ioniq 5 model.
