The former Prime Minister says in her article: “All these factories were working very well. Why are they disappearing? Their owners do not hide that this is a reaction to the ban on the use of combustion engine vehicles imposed by the European Union.” entrance.
Szydło attacks the ban on combustion cars from 2035.
From 2035, the so-called ban on combustion cars. From this date, introducing new cars with gasoline, diesel or hybrid engines to the market will be unprofitable for manufacturers. In practical terms, this means shifting the supply of new cars to zero-emission models – battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hydrogen.
You will still be able to drive your current combustion engined cars or buy them used. However, in the case of older models, using them on a daily basis may be difficult when more cities introduce so-called Clean Transport Zones.
“For Poland (but also other European countries), ‘cleaning’ means the subsequent liquidation of factories, mass layoffs, and the collapse of companies linked to the automobile industry,” Beata Szydlo warned in her article. She pointed out that some manufacturers “promise to quickly switch to the production of electric cars.” Indeed, some brands have already announced that their offer will be 100% inclusive. Electric cars were already available a few years before the EU ban came into effect.
“Besides, it is now clear that mass production of electric vehicles in the EU may never start – because the EU is already rapidly losing its competitiveness compared to other global economic powers,” Szydlo wrote.
Manufacturers from China are taking the lead in the global race. Their cars are lower in quality and design than Western brands, but are very competitive in terms of price.
“The automobile industry will not be the only one facing collapse in the near future. Brussels, with its crazy policy of accelerating energy transition, has managed to lead to a progressive crisis in European industry. The European Union is turning into an open-air museum at its request.” , says Szydło.
Netizens remind us of Ezera
X platform users did not remain indebted to it. Responses to Beata Szydło's post include numerous references to the promise of a million electric cars on Polish roads and the construction of Polish electric cars under a new brand. They were introduced by Mateusz Morawiecki as Deputy Prime Minister in the government of Beata Szydlo.
Meanwhile, the latest data from the Polish Alternative Fuels Association (PSPA) and the Association of the Polish Automobile Industry (PZPM) indicates just 49 thousand. 139 electric vehicles (BEV) registered in the country and another 45 thousand. 433 plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV). Therefore, it is less than 5% for electric cars. From the number promised by Morawiecki.
Another person reminded the former Prime Minister that “this industry has not existed since the 1990s. Unless we are talking about an assembly plant for companies from other countries, it is a separate pair of galoshes. The EU is really a secondary issue here.”
The end of the automobile industry in Poland? “The lady is lying”
Users also pointed out that the decisions Beata Szydło wrote about were made during the PiS government.
“You are lying. The decision to close the Scania plant was made last year, when the Morawiecki government was in power, and not a few weeks ago. Bielsko-Biała: The first mass layoffs were in March 2022. It was known in the industry. Another Internet user wrote that the plant will Close Stellantis is betting on PSA engines, not FCA.
Stellantis is a large concern created from the merger of two automotive giants:
- FCA, i.e., among others Fiat, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati
- PSA, i.e. Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, DS and Vauxhall.
Another entry pointed to an article from Deutsche Welle from December 2020 about the fact that Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki overruled his second veto at the EU summit, agreeing to tighten the EU's CO2 emissions reduction target to 55%. In 2030. “PiS ended the auto industry by agreeing to climate acceleration,” the netizen stressed.
