The demand for diesel is constantly decreasing

According to a recent report by Automotive News, demand for diesel models will fall by 30% in the near future, while the interest of manufacturers is shifting to electric cars.
Analyzes that have come to light predict a gradual decline in demand for diesel vehicles, which according to Automotive News will reach the 30% up to 2020. Creating playgrounds for use by children with mobility problems and ensuring their access to all municipal structures and schools, the article talks about the "disappearance" of diesel vehicles in the coming years, as more and more European cities will have a hostile attitude towards them.
We expect developments on this issue in the Autumn, where the EU will announce new emission limits, based on actual measurements on the road and not in a lab. Analysts point out that this development will bring about several changes in motoring, as many manufacturers will not be able to catch the new limits.
Naturally, the above data bring the new gasoline engines to the fore again (their development is much more accessible) and are pushing manufacturers to make bigger leaps in electrification.

Plug-in hybrid in development 3008

A hotter version of the new 3008 it has long been on Peugeot's table but only recently have the French decided to proceed with its implementation.

TEXT: IRINI MOUSTAKARIA

There are some misgivings on the French side about how to approach a new one, hotter, edition. Some talk about simply putting a GTI logo and others, like Laurent Blanchet, Peugeot Product Manager, for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with the extra addition of the letters GT.
A hybrid is a sports car, but the GTI logo is more suited to small hatchback cars. Right now one 3008 GTI is something that should not be done. Ant’ of this we could use the GT logo. The PHEV we are preparing will be available with a gasoline engine 1.6 THP that in combination with the electric motor will deliver 300 about horsepower. It will also have four-wheel drive while covering the 100 kilometers from a standstill in less than six seconds'.
Blanchet did not shy away from pointing out that this version is about two years away from today: The 3008 with this technology it will be ready 2019 and then we will develop a PHEV for our entire range'.

Driving autonomy is long overdue

Mercedes-Benz lands us in reality and drops the ball on Tesla

TEXT: IRINI MOUSTAKARIA

Because all car manufacturers indulge in recent p’ an impressive game about self-propelled vehicles and the feats they perform every day in the workshops and on the roads, Mercedes-Benz decided to put things right. It supports, Well, that fully autonomous vehicles will become a reality in at least ten years.
The German brand's Head of Test Identification, Jochen Haab, revealed that self-driving systems are currently bogged down’ between the level 2 and 3 and they are far from flat 5 which is the top.
'To have that level of automation where you sit in the car at point X and tell it to go to point P - you might as well have programmed it in advance- the moment you write on your laptop and it tells you in a short time 'ok you can download', ten years away from becoming a reality’ says Haab. And it complements: It is still late for the level systems to be installed 5 in such cars. The only exception is Tesla, which has already installed them and is conducting its official tests..
Now we are not sure if the German is pointing at’ this way his admiration for Tesla or throws down the gauntlet to present its achievements. It is known that the Germans have been accusing the American company of misleading marketing and empty words for years now. Haab in fact, he does not hesitate to send a message in any direction: 'We are of the opinion 'either the best or nothing’ and we leave nothing to chance'.

As for the kit now, this masterfully incorporates all those recognizable retro elements of the legendary Type H. Note here, that the anniversary character will be accompanied by a limited production, since it will be offered to just 70 collector's items.

Apple's plans for an autonomous vehicle may not be so ambitious, as it used to be, but the American company does not give up its efforts.
And while its administration keeps a fishy silence, as always, a few days ago it became known that’ this purpose now also cooperates with Bosch and more specifically with the Bosch Office in Reutlingen, Germany. These facilities house the electronics departments of the automotive industry. A Bosch representative confirmed the news.
Although we cannot know the extent of the cooperation, signs point in the direction of autonomous driving as the Bosch division in question develops electronic control units and a host of vehicle-mounted sensors.
