IT’S BOLD
Wow…
OEMs have been dropping some BOLD statements recently. I don’t know what it is, but 2025 has everyone getting antsy. Don’t believe me? Check these out 👇
BMW & Hydrogen Power
“We believe the timing is right. Since we've been pioneering both battery electric and hydrogen technologies, we're ready to lead.”
Ford Thinks ‘Motors Don’t Matter Anymore’
“I don’t think that consumers really think about powertrains the way they did 30 years ago. Where [combustion engines] defined what a vehicle was; the horsepower, the displacement, the torque, and everything about the vehicle; I think a lot of that is gone.”
Toyota Is Anti-EV!?
“We have sold some 27 million hybrids. Those hybrids have had the same impact as 9 million BEVs on the road”
Stellantis HUGE Comeback Claims
“2025 will mark the most epic comeback in automotive history"
