Bosch: Combustion Isn't Dead by 2035—Just Renamed
"The bean counters know full combustion is done. They're just arguing about what to call the transition."
— Revvly Take
Bosch's forecast that 70% of new cars will still run on combustion by 2035 is less optimistic about ICE and more realistic about how the industry rebrands itself. They're counting PHEVs and range-extended EVs as 'combustion cars'—a semantic sleight of hand that lets OEMs hedge their bets while regulators pat themselves on the back.
