Malinga ndi deta yochokera ku European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), magalimoto amagetsi okwana 559,700 adagulitsidwa m'maiko 30 aku Europe kuyambira Januwale mpaka Epulo, 2023, kuwonjezeka kwa 37 peresenti pachaka. Poyerekeza, kugulitsa magalimoto amafuta munthawi yomweyi kunali mayunitsi 550,400 okha, kutsika ndi 0.5% pachaka.
Europe inali dera loyamba kupanga injini zamafuta, ndipo kontinenti ya ku Ulaya, yomwe ikulamulidwa ndi mayiko akumadzulo kwa Europe, nthawi zonse yakhala malo abwino ogulitsira magalimoto amafuta, omwe ndi gawo lalikulu kwambiri la magalimoto amafuta omwe amagulitsidwa. Tsopano m'dziko lino, kugulitsa magalimoto amagetsi kwafika poipa kwambiri.
Ino si nthawi yoyamba kuti magalimoto amagetsi agulitse mafuta ambiri kuposa mafuta ku Europe. Malinga ndi Financial Times, kugulitsa magalimoto amagetsi ku Europe kunaposa mitundu yamafuta koyamba mu Disembala 2021, chifukwa oyendetsa magalimoto amakonda kusankha magalimoto amagetsi omwe amathandizidwa ndi boma m'malo mwa mafuta omwe akhudzidwa ndi nkhani yokhudza utsi woipa. Deta yamsika yomwe idaperekedwa ndi akatswiri panthawiyo idawonetsa kuti magalimoto atsopano opitilira gawo limodzi mwa magawo asanu omwe adagulitsidwa m'misika 18 yaku Europe, kuphatikiza UK, anali ndi mabatire okhaokha, pomwe magalimoto amafuta, kuphatikiza mafuta osakanikirana, anali ndi ndalama zosakwana 19% ya malonda onse.
Kugulitsa magalimoto amafuta kwakhala kukuchepa pang'onopang'ono kuyambira pomwe Volkswagen idawululidwa kuti idachita zachinyengo poyesa kufalitsa utsi woipa pamagalimoto 11 miliyoni amafuta mu 2015. Panthawiyo, mitundu yamafuta inali yoposa theka la magalimoto omwe adatumizidwa m'maiko 18 aku Europe omwe adafunsidwa.
Kukhumudwa kwa ogula ndi Volkswagen sikunali chinthu chachikulu chomwe chinakhudza msika wamagalimoto, ndipo kugulitsa magalimoto amafuta kunapitilizabe kukhala ndi mwayi waukulu kuposa magalimoto amagetsi m'zaka zotsatira. Posachedwapa mu 2019, kugulitsa magalimoto amagetsi ku Europe kunali mayunitsi 360,200 okha, zomwe zikutanthauza gawo limodzi mwa magawo khumi ndi atatu okha a malonda a magalimoto amafuta.
Komabe, pofika chaka cha 2022, magalimoto okwana 1,637,800 anagulitsidwa ku Ulaya ndipo magalimoto amagetsi okwana 1,577,100 anagulitsidwa, ndipo kusiyana pakati pa awiriwa kwachepa kufika pa magalimoto pafupifupi 60,000.
Kukwera kwa malonda a magalimoto amagetsi kwachitika makamaka chifukwa cha malamulo a European Union ochepetsa mpweya woipa wa carbon ndi ndalama zothandizira boma pa magalimoto amagetsi m'maiko aku Europe. European Union yalengeza kuti yaletsa kugulitsa magalimoto atsopano okhala ndi injini zoyatsira moto zomwe zimagwiritsa ntchito mafuta kapena petulo kuyambira mu 2035 pokhapokha ngati agwiritsa ntchito "e-fuels" zomwe siziwononga chilengedwe.
Mafuta amagetsi amadziwikanso kuti mafuta opangidwa ndi zinthu zopangidwa, mafuta osalowerera kaboni, zinthu zopangira ndi hydrogen ndi carbon dioxide yokha. Ngakhale kuti mafutawa amatulutsa kuipitsa kochepa popanga ndi kutulutsa mpweya kuposa mafuta amafuta ndi petulo, mtengo wopangira ndi wokwera, ndipo umafuna thandizo lalikulu la mphamvu zongowonjezwdwa, ndipo chitukukochi chikuchedwa kwakanthawi kochepa.
Kukakamizidwa ndi malamulo okhwima kwakakamiza opanga magalimoto ku Europe kugulitsa magalimoto ambiri omwe amachotsa mpweya woipa, pomwe mfundo ndi malamulo othandizira akhala akufulumizitsa kusankha magalimoto amagetsi kwa ogula.
Titha kuyembekezera kukula kwakukulu kapena koopsa kwa magalimoto amagetsi posachedwa ku EU. Popeza galimoto iliyonse yamagetsi iyenera kuyikidwa chaji musanagwiritse ntchito, kukula kwakukulu kapena koopsa kwa ma charger a EV kapena malo ochajira kungayembekezeredwenso.
