By 2025, we will see both Hilux and Ranger with petrol hybrids /PHEVs to combat any negative publicity.
Since 90% of our population lives within 100 km of the coast, I’m betting that the majority of those Ute sales
will be some form of hybrid or PHEV that takes advantage of short emission free commuting.

So yeah, up to 2028, I think very little impact on diesel Ranger/Everest sales
unless people fall in love with petrol hybrid versions…
Wonder what the 250 000ish "On the Wallaby" caravaners will do.
