The change of generations is a natural process not only in nature, but also in the automobile industry: all models sooner or later give way to their heirs or retire without successors. Manufacturers are getting rid of unpopular cars that do not provide profits or even generate losses. In addition, the general transition to electric traction is also having an impact: cars with internal combustion engines are replacing electric cars. However, electric cars themselves are passing the baton to more advanced “battery” followers. However, sometimes we are talking only about leaving certain markets.
