Somehow, whether it was technology or politics, the internal combustion engine won out initially. Now here we are, decades later and the tables have turned. New restrictions internationally, combined with pledges from major automotive firms, have change the future trajectory of the auto market. That doesn’t mean that the old dinosaur-burning engines are all going to go by the wayside. In some settings, the ICE is the only way to get the job done.
