CTOnews.com, August 24 (Xinhua) in the process of the automotive industry scrambling to develop all-electric models, the existence of gas-electric hybrid vehicles has been very embarrassing. According to foreign media drive.com, Ford, Toyota, Stellantis Group (CTOnews.com: Gyibug, Chrysler, Dodge) and other car companies plan to revive gas-electric hybrid vehicles, announcing that they will produce and sell hundreds of thousands of hybrid vehicles in the United States in the next five years.

Tim Ghriskey, a senior portfolio strategist at Ingalls & Snyder, a New York investment management company, says hybrid cars "do" serve many people in the United States and are "a good alternative" to pure electric cars and are more acceptable to customers.

Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions, said: "with the tightening of emission requirements, hybrids provide cleaner energy without the need for buyers to buy pure electric vehicles directly."

S & P Global Mobility estimates that hybrid car sales will more than triple over the next five years, accounting for 24 per cent of new car sales in the US by 2028. Pure electric vehicles will account for about 37 per cent of sales, and the remaining petrol vehicles will account for nearly 40 per cent.

According to Stellantis, gas-electric hybrids currently account for 36% of the brand's Gyibug Wrangler sales and 19% of Chrysler's Pacifica sales. "the group is very optimistic about the future of hybrids," a Stellantis spokesman said.

Foreign media said that historically, hybrid vehicles accounted for less than 10% of total sales in the United States, of which Toyota's long-term sales of the Prius is one of the most popular models. "as Toyota slowly increases its investment in pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles will play a key role in the company's long-term electrification plan."

Ford is the latest company to launch a "more aggressive hybrid plan." In a second-quarter earnings conference call at the end of July, Ford CEO Jim Farley said Ford expects hybrid vehicle sales to quadruple over the next five years after Ford pledged to vigorously develop all-electric vehicles.

However, CTOnews.com notes that in fact, hybrid cars in North America have always had "poor wind reviews", mainly female owners, and are influenced by the "stereotype" of American culture. Many "Americans" think that drivers of hybrid cars are not "fierce men", so sales of these models have always been mediocre. In fact, it is only recently that pure trams have gradually improved their reputation in North America because of their "excellent parameters" and the "main push" of major manufacturers.
