Excerpt

The article delves into the critical role of internal combustion engines in mitigating climate change, emphasizing the urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions by 2030. It argues that relying solely on Battery-Electric Vehicles (BEVs) is insufficient and proposes the rapid integration of modern, highly efficient combustion and hybrid engines using regenerative fuels. The text highlights the potential of hydrogen as a fuel for commercial trucks and off-highway engines, discussing the advancements in hydrogen-combustion engine technology. It also underscores the importance of a multi-technology approach supported by political leadership to meet the 1.5-°C climate target. The article offers a compelling case for the inclusion of existing vehicle fleets in CO2 reduction plans, emphasizing the need for a balanced strategy that leverages the strengths of various technologies.
