Ron Wagner + 702 June 1, 2023 https://www.counterman.com/the-ice-age-isnt-over/ The ICE Age Isn’t Over Internal combustion engines are expected to maintain their dominant U.S. market share through 2030. By Counterman StaffFebruary 6, 2020 The number of cars and light trucks powered by internal combustion engines (ICE) will climb by 36 million between now and 2030 in the United States, despite predictions that electric vehicles will make them obsolete. Related Articles - Proposed Rule Would Require AEB Systems on Light-Duty Vehicles - Toyota on Path to Achieve 100% Renewable Energy - Magna Expanding Operations in Ontario That’s according to a new report from Lang Marketing Resources. “Cancel the obituary of the internal combustion vehicle,” said Jim Lang, president and lead author of the report. “They will grow in number in the U.S. throughout the decade.” With ICE vehicles expected to maintain their dominant market share through 2030, demand for aftermarket parts and service should continue to be robust. “Peak ICE – the year when internal combustion engine vehicles reach their maximum number – could arrive as late as 2035,” predicted Lang. EV Sales Will Grow Too While the number of ICE engines in the vehicle parc will continue to grow, the same is expected for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles (battery-electric vehicles and plug-in electric hybrids) represented less than 2% of the 2019 new-vehicle market. However, EV annual volume will increase fourfold by mid-decade, accounting for nearly 8% of 2025 light-vehicle sales, according to Lang Marketing Resources. EV volume will reach 2.9 million units during 2030, double its 2025 share. Despite the increasing EV sales, ICE cars and light trucks will continue to dominate the new-vehicle market. The resulting number of ICE vehicles in operation (VIO) will climb by 24 million during 2020 through 2025. ICE vehicles in the United States will increase by another 12 million from 2026 to 2030, pushing their VIO growth to 36 million during 2020 through 2030, up from approximately 282 million vehicles in operation last year. Regular hybrids and mild hybrids (both have batteries recharged by their combustion engines) are included as ICE vehicles in the Lang analysis, since most mileage of non-plug-in Hybrids is ICE-powered. Peak ICE Year The year of peak ICE in the United States (when ICE vehicles reach their maximum number) will be determined by two factors, according to Lang: the annual sales mix of ICE and EV vehicles, and ICE-vehicle scrappage. Peak ICE will not be reached before 2032 and, under certain circumstances, it could arrive as late as 2035, Lang predicts.

By Counterman StaffSeptember 7, 2021 Brand loyalty among U.S. consumers for new vehicles dropped to a six-year low in June, according to new analysis from IHS Markit. Analysis of new-vehicle-registration data through June indicates that the overall brand-loyalty rate of 51% in the U.S. market is the lowest since August 2015. This decline in loyalty is inevitably due, at least in part, to the major declines in dealer inventory stemming from the global microchip shortage.

This is a post from linkedin: (See image attached) And a reply of one of the readers: "The provocation is possibly an act between Remnant nazis, remnant Jews surviving massacre in Europe who still live in europe, offsprings they produced and indian hong kees. Those jews and their youngs, particularly friends of the richest Jews, rampaging their act. The attempt aims to create chaos and blame it on Germany, or Germany is the place of their origins to conquer the whole continent, an age old dream. Besides creating chaos, they also have short term aim to own the world or control everything within their likes. They do not have further plan what do they want to do with that. These small group will be the reason for repeated massacre of 6 millions jews, if their act is not interfered or halted in time. The leaders might not know what they are doing. These young grew arrogant having easy lives being friends of nephews or nieces of the leaders. They rampaging without hurdle, particularly when their fathers are at high posts in security, military or such, somewhere. The game is really easy. To ruin. Or to build. What with? Tragedy fate of jews is odd. Since betrayal of Jesus leading to his death, they are nailed with this cycle of prosperity and zero- up with population. Change it or ignore it is a choice."
