Majority of European drivers still prefer combustion engines

Almost 60 percent of European drivers see a positive future for petrol and diesel engines, according to new research published by Mazda.

The Mazda Driver Project research – commissioned together with Ipsos MORI – polled 11,008 people across key European markets and an average of 58 percent believe there is “a lot of innovation and improvement still to come with petrol and diesel engines.” The figure is as high as 65 percent in Poland and more than 60 percent in Germany, Spain, and Sweden.
