BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 23. As many as 18
out of 20 largest automotive producers on this planet put electrical vehicles
as the primary manufacturing technique, mentioned Dr Fatih Birol, Government
Director, Worldwide Power Company (IEA), Development studies.
He was addressing the convention on Accelerating the Transition
to Zero Emission Automobiles.
Birol word that the primary driver right here is to make income. “About
13 p.c of all of the vehicles offered on this planet this yr are electrical
vehicles. Three years in the past, it was solely 4 p.c.”
He went on so as to add that the world is in the midst of the primary
international power disaster.
“It is a unhealthy time for the worldwide financial system and power as effectively.
However the response coming from the governments, from trade will
convey us to a greater future. Throughout Seventies, earlier than the disaster, an
common automotive wanted 18 liters of gasoline to drive 100 kilometers.
After the disaster, because of the federal government and automotive
producers’ response, 18 liters went right down to 11 liters.
We, on the IEA consider that the world will present once more such a
reflex, such a response and lots of applied sciences will profit from
that because of the massive packages, methods, legal guidelines international locations
are placing one after one other. We are going to see it underneath effectivity,
renewables, nuclear power and I consider, electrical vehicles. We are going to
see a really fast and powerful victories within the sphere of electrical
vehicles,” mentioned the IEA’s govt director.
