To mitigate this financial risk, automakers are utilizing geographic allocation strategies. As highlighted by MBN, 55.7% of all low-emission vehicle sales are concentrated in just four states: Mexico City (21,766 units), the State of Mexico (12,736 units), Nuevo Leon (9,947 units), and Jalisco (8,513 units).
Not every road to the future runs straight to a battery-electric car. Hybrids, which pair a gasoline engine with an electric motor and a small battery, have been quietly cutting fuel consumption since the Toyota Prius arrived in the late 1990s, and they have enjoyed a remarkable resurgence as some buyers hesitate over full EVs. Plug-in hybrids and range extenders add bigger batteries for electric commuting with an engine as backup, an appealing compromise for many drivers.
The hybrid revival has changed automakers' plans. Toyota's long commitment to hybrids looks prescient, and brands that once planned to go all-electric have added hybrid versions of popular models, including pickups and SUVs. Plug-in hybrids have faced criticism when owners rarely plug them in, but they have grown fast, especially in China. Hydrogen fuel cell cars such as the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo remain rare, held back by scarce fueling stations, while diesel has faded in passenger cars, and synthetic fuels are promoted as a lifeline for engines.
This page follows hybrids and fuels across the industry: new hybrid and plug-in models, range-extended electric vehicles, fuel economy and emissions rules, hydrogen projects, diesel's decline and the price and politics of gasoline. It covers the debates about which technologies deserve a place in a low-carbon future and the companies betting on each. For many shoppers, this is where the practical answers lie today. The internal combustion engine has been declared dead many times; it keeps finding new ways to stay employed.
The middle road between gas and electric: hybrids, plug-ins and range extenders, plus hydrogen fuel cells, diesel, gasoline and the future of fuels.
