欧盟此举反映出其汽车产业面临的现实困境。当前，在电动车领域，欧洲企业在电池等核心技术上落后于全球先进车企。此外，美国引发的贸易摩擦以 及欧盟汽车销售疲软也给欧洲汽车行业带来不利影响。在此背景下，欧洲汽车行业认为禁止销售排放二氧化碳的燃油车将削弱其竞争力。 然而，这一政策转向也引发欧洲内部分歧。环保人士警告称，继续向插混技术投入资源，可能削弱对纯电动汽车的长期投入，进而扩大与竞争对手的差 距。 当地时间16日，欧盟委员会提议修改2035年新车"零排放"目标，将减排目标从100%下调至90%。这一调整是对欧洲汽车产业现实困境的回应，也标志 着欧盟原本严格的气候政策正在发生实质性松动。 根据这项新规，插电式混合动力汽车以及配备燃油增程器的电动汽车在2035年后可继续销售，这意味着这些在路面上奔跑的部分传统燃油车获得了继续 生存的制度空间。这一政策变化被视为欧盟中右翼政党和汽车行业的一次"重大胜利"，同时也标志着欧盟在"全面电动化"道路上的一次关键让步。 在比利时就读的德国大学生 格雷翁：我来自德国，德国拥有非常强大的汽车工业。我理解一些汽车制造商希望继续生产燃油车。但是我认为，如果欧 洲很早就决定全面转型为电动汽车 ...

作者 | 柴徐晨 编辑 | 王小娟 在位21年，为捷豹路虎设计出揽胜极光、路虎卫士等经典车型的元老级首席设计师，被意外请出了公司。 作为捷豹路虎现有的四大品牌之一，捷豹承担着集团转型排头兵和先行者的重担，Type00更是其"重塑未来"战略的关键一环。 根据计划，捷豹要在今年全面电动化，从豪华品牌定位转为奢华品牌，后续还将推出一款大型纯电豪华SUV和超豪华纯电轿车，后者将取代现 XJ系列轿车，成为品牌新旗舰。 围绕这一战略捷豹路虎集团下了重注。捷豹CEO阿德里安·马戴尔就曾透露，为给捷豹品牌全面电动化提供助力，公司已投入2.5亿英镑（约合 23亿元人民币）用于英国哈利伍德工厂的升级，以满足未来的生产需求。 但这也是一场高风险、高回报的豪赌。 有熟悉豪华汽车品牌的人士对华尔街见闻表示，很多消费者尤其是原捷豹用户对其新品牌、新车型的接受度存疑。同时，为了给Type00开路， ALL IN电车，捷豹停产XE、XF、F-Type、E-Pace以及首款纯电动SUVI-Pace等一系列旧车型。 而就在这转型的关键节点，新上任的掌门人给剧本带来了些许变化。 近期，有消息称，捷豹路虎（JLR）解聘了其首席设计负责人、首席创意官 ...
