Stellantis主张"技术中立"原则，这一原则的提出直击欧盟政策的核心。它呼吁允许插电式混合动力 （PHEV）、增程式等多元技术路径并存。从技术发展角度来看，插电式混合动力车型既可以在城市中 使用纯电模式，减少排放，又能在长途出行时依靠燃油发动机解决续航焦虑问题，在现阶段充电基础设 施不完善的情况下，是一种较为折中的解决方案。合成燃料则是利用可再生能源将二氧化碳和水转化为 燃料，实现燃烧过程中的碳中和，为燃油车的可持续发展提供了新的可能。有报道称，Stellantis高层明 确表示，单一电动化路径不切实际，需为消费者保留更多选择，这不仅是为企业自身发展争取空间，也 是从消费者需求出发，考虑到不同地区、不同消费群体对汽车能源形式的多样化需求。 其实，其他欧洲多家车企也表达了同样的意见。而欧洲汽车制造商协会（ACEA）的数据显示， 2024年欧盟电动车渗透率远低于政策预期，这表明欧洲电动车市场的发展速度并未达到政策制定者的设 想。在这种情况下，欧盟"一刀切"的禁令无疑会让车企面临巨大的市场风险，加剧了车企对禁令的抵触 情绪。欧洲车企认为，欧盟应该根据市场实际发展情况，调整政策节奏，给予企业更多时间进行技术研 ...
