Daimler has no plans for next generation IC engines
Auto Motor und Sport interview of Daimler’s Markus Schaefer suggests no plans for new combustion engine development. Google can find the links.
There is some vagueness because new “parts” could be developed for existing engines. Just no new engine platforms in the works at this time.
What does the BMW community think about this? Big news or no news, or something in between?
BMW and Porsche also have well-publicized electric powertrain activities. Are petroleum burning engines really going away? What does it mean for maintenance and repair support of IC engines? What does it mean for the market for older (classic) IC engined vehicles, mainly as it relates to parts availability?
