After conversations I’ve had with powertrain engineering executives during the 2022 SAE WCX World Congress, and in reading our reports on the panel discussions, I can conclude two things. First, mobility-industry planning currently faces more uncertainty than at any period in recent memory. It’s not a good time to bet on EV sales forecasts and ICE-end dates that seemed unrealistic even before Covid, the chip crisis, and Putin’s war of obliteration. Unforeseen externalities have a way of altering outlooks. Secondly, hybrid-electric propulsion will play a significant role in global vehicle electrification and CO2 reduction in the next decade. I’m confident of that. And much of the industry seems to agree.
