ICE ‘Bullshido’ - the Toyota, Subaru and Mazda combustion super power | Auto Expert John Cadogan 

I think we have already reached Net Zero.....Intelligence.

To paraphrase Monty Python, apart from concrete, steel, transportation, advanced medical care, roads, supermarkets, plastics, all manufactured products, the internet, mass production of food, micro electronics and street lighting, what have hydrocarbons ever done for us?

Efficiency alone will never satiate the lust for zero from the rabidly green. Has there ever been a post war period comparable to the insanity we’re currently experiencing?

Toyota is doing what it has to do and saying what it has to say. But developing more efficient ICE engines seems to be a no-brainer, so what's not to like?

They all say they want carbon neutrality through carbon credits, but none of them want transparency or any auditing.

“Toyota and their 2 testicles mazda and Subaru 😂😂😂”

I was driving a 6 litre Calais but have gone to an old 1.8 litre Corolla. Saving heaps. Wife's work car is a 1.25 litre Picanto. both good to drive. We have 40 solar panels, 2 sets of batteries and no bills. Thanks for the education over the years John.

Everything is consumable,since moving out of home and building a new home I have replaced every electrical appliance while the appliances from my childhood are still going. Things were once made to be durable everything was better in the 1990’s

A Toyota or Mazda 1.0L engine, is far more Eco-friendly and sustainable than any BEV hauling around a massive battery pack.

John, your suggestion regarding the Polestar 4 battery being sensibly split into building approximately 100 sensible hybrid vehicles makes great sense. The current madness, building cars with batteries which weigh near 600kg and oversize monstrosities weighing near 4 tons is idiocy. The EV Hummer, the fucking Cybertruck and yes, the Kia EV9. Oh, and that stupidly huge BMW EV SUV.

Hi John . I agree with everything you said. I carry a lighter in my pocket. Every time someone starts to talk to me about zero emissions I pull my lighter out of my pocket and lite it and say look around you , nothing can be made without fire or some kind of heat.I'm a non smoker by the way. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed , but even I understand physics.

The greenies couldn’t muster an ounce of technical thought process between the lot of them

Honestly I love this "bullshido" it's like, "we will continue doing ice cars so deal with it"

Poor Australians. Bullshido Politicians flying private jets, people must buy sound castrated cars, taxes on taxes to 'protect' a non existing car industry & accumulating to ridiculous prices. Compare with Dubai: Happy 12 Cyl orchestral sounds in the air. Fuel for under 1/2 $ & love for cars. E.V. = Expensive Vomiting

I can understand small city cars with electric systems, but not these stupid oversized suv things they're concentrating on. And if we hit 30-40% ev fleet, then imagine all the extension cords draped across the pathways. Because a lot of people living in the inner city park on the street or underground carparks below apartments. Fun times ahead for pedestrians.

I think the positive piece out of this is the potential for an extended timeframe for these companies to attempt thermal efficiency improvements with their IC engines. The EU’s “we’re going to ban the sale of IC engines” thing is just stifling creativity and innovation in IC engine development.

John, as long as we're planning the future around mythical energy, what's wrong with turning the mythical energy into fuel instead of charging mythical batteries? We also can't build batteries at the necessary scale.

Love your honesty and knowledge of any of the subjects you talk about keep up the good work mate

I don't understand the editorial content of this video, is it not a good thing that some manufacturers still build ICE cars?? Who cares if they are joined at the hip, who cares how they will produce the next generation fuel? They have the right approach, I am getting the car I want and that's enough for me. John.... well, you need a break, I suggest you plan a nice trip to your favorite creek.

Climate change I maintain is a net benefit for earth, not a problem. Plant life is thriving due to increased co2 levels, and working in agriculture I can attest that crop yields are rising quickly due to higher CO2 levels. We should applaud higher co2, not view it as a problem. After all when we burn a hydrocarbon, we are simply releasing the co2 from its current sequestered state back into the atmosphere where it came from, long ago.

"Oh, and the wine Reg. Don't forget the wine!"

i actually know some Muricans who would luv it if Mazda and others offer the North American market their 6 pot diesels!

Love driving my "Nee-san" Cedric. The Australian poofter's car 😃😃😃

Wake up babe! Johnny’s released a new video!!!

Almost all of us, at least in the so called developed world, could reduce our carbon emissions if we wanted to simply by thinking a little more about what we do and how we do it. If I’m going locally I’ll walk for example. If I’m going into a city centre I might take a bus or a train; that’s often easier, as you haven’t the hassle of trying to find somewhere to park. Many people are in and out, in and out with their cars. John has mentioned planning journeys, so one trip out to achieve maybe 5 goals in the day, rather than 5 separate journeys. There’s a lot of waste of energy. Planning and a bit of thought could go a long way to reducing environmental impact and actually save people money at the same time without a drastic change to their standard of living or quality of life.

My God JC, you are right, great number of people do not have a clue. According to the comments herewith, not just Bowen.

As the past push towards Diesel engines, behind the EV push even though Greenwashing, it's the objective to lower Oil imports. Wouldn't be surprised if synthetic fuels are feasible at a large scale, Toyota is once again proven right.

Hybrid systems still have significant scope for improvement. That basically means smaller and better ICE engines combined with bigger batteries and inverters.

I was running around in the 70's looking for a f**king red box with a phone in it that worked. Shame we won't be around in 50 years to see what makes cars move

For now and to any foreseeable future, hybrid power plant is the way to go and that is Toyota’s masterpiece !!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

BYD has a plugin hybrid with a 1,400 mile range.

Since when do motoring journos do anything other than regurgitate press releases?

I’ve had enough - I’m buying a horse

Hey John even in the 12th century they were emitting carbon by burning wood and coal. But they also chopped down trees for scaffolding to build castles.

Did I hear correctly that Mazda were going to base their low-emission future on rotary engines? That is engines full of seals to wear out running on, essentially, 2-stroke mix, less inefficient combustion only when gaseous as opposed to liquid fuels are used and with awful torque curves? A friend of mine had an RX something or the other and it spent most of its life with him having the engine rebuilt. Hmm.

John, I think your estimate of zero emission fuels also sinks H2 or NH3 as fuels. All will work, just only rich people will be able to pay for them.

The argument for hydrocarbons is easy as there is no argument. As a fuel for combustion it wins hand down every time. Finding yourself in an argument of this type only reveals that you are conversing with a simple intellect.

Solar panels aren't insulated against hail storms and if you have to fix roof leaks or replacement the panels have to be removed and reinstalled. 😂

These manufacturers know that the great majority of their future car buyers will not have convenient electrical power . And the guys with the "Technical" Toyota conversions will never be hooking up and IDing their locations to the US drone fleet..

I wonder if the whole audience around the world watching this video have used more carbon collectivly than a full tank of diesel in a truck?

The thing that raises humanity above all the other animals on the planet is that back in the depths of prehistory, one caveman rubbed two sticks together and created fire (and CO2).

Subi's new series engine is shite due to replacing metal with plastic in the cooling system. A good engine buggered by bean counters. Peace.

Carbon-Neutral Fuel from your favourite 'Clean and Green' supplier - B.P. L. (Bullshito Petroleum Limited)

Hey John, any chance of getting a video on the new Toyota 48v hilux? Also, anything new from Bluetti coming up that you’re aware of?

Actually even global warming, and whether or not, if it exists, it is anthropogenic, remain debatable.

John you are a breath of fresh air and you have great product knowledge. This might be the CLAYTONS DRINK, THE DRINK YOU HAVE WHEN YOUR NOT HAVING A DRINK. In other words it's the CARBON NEUTRAL FUEL YOU HAVE WHEN YOUR NOT HAVING A CARBON NEUTRAL FUEL. ⛽

Oh Thank you that somebody, other than me, get's it. Well said John. If there is one thing that everyone can take away from this video (and I've been saying this for years, the reason my wife wants to belt me over the head as she is tired of me saying it) it is this.... "EV are part of the solution, but NOT the solution". Great video mate. I found your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoy the content.. 👏👏

This channel has ran out off steam

Never stop showing off your excellence at calling it the bullshit no matter which side it's coming from!

There will always be a need for on-demand power sources to bridge gaps in renewable power generation. For transportation though, the future of ICE is engines tuned for fixed-regime operation as auxiliary power generators for otherwise all-electric vehicles. As for how much of the total fleet will go electric, I think the ceiling will likely be much higher than 30%. We'll probably get to 60% for strictly BEVs once the batteries get smaller, cheaper, lighter with better fast-charging coverage along highways and easy access to L2 charging wherever people regularly park for hours at a time. It'll take 10-15 years to get there but we will.

FABULOUS POST John!

They are celebrating the secret development of an SEP field. ( Somebody Else's Problem, 3rd book, Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, hides the "Bistromatics" ship ( I think I misspelt that, it has been a while )).

If this were a Hollywood production, it would be: _The last Petrol Head_ - _featuring Tom Cruise_ And it would have the same predictable ending.

I reckon you were a bit harsh. Toyota have to play the 'game' with regulators.

John, have a look at gold hydrogen drilling on the York peninsula. Is this BS or could it have possibilities…?

As soon as I saw that announcement, I knew that there would be a John Cadogan video commenting on it. It did not disappoint. The three tailed dog...

Yes roof top solar is way to go.....esp in country that dont have winter. If everyone install roof top solar, then coal dependent energy can be reduce.

LESS WASTE is really the actual place to start. Do more with resources we already have. Be more efficient, organised and reliable. Making anything is an energy intensive process. Therefore ensure you make it well so it lasts. Allow people to fix their stuff too. Honour warranties. Provide spare parts. Certify repair technicians. Perfect your designs over the years rather than endlessly churn out new unfinished, flimsy money pits.

Bullshido ... well done sir.

You can power diesel engines with rapeseed oil and other vegetable oils - those are carbon neutral, but the problem is You can't grow enough of rapeseed to cover the demand.

I'd appreciate less "Bullshido" on this channel making it hard to get to the point. You generally have good things to say but the waffle is hard to wade through.

I have 2 independent battery packs about 10kwh usable between them and a shot load of panels. With these short days I'm nearly 80% self consumption, not so much heading out to the grid. These offset my driving a diesel i30 i believe.

Japanese car makers are smarter. They know that we will use oil for decades to come, and that a sweet transition is required and not a forced transition such as the one pushed by Europe. Ultimately, we'll maybe end up with all EV's but it will take several decades. In the meanwhile the Japanese will come with incremental, revolutionary engines. One thing is sure : the gas powered cars will be with us for several decades.

Hydrogen (and or ammonia) are being looked at, but you are right, the cost of energy for producing H2 or NH3 at scale is prohibitive at the moment. The amount of solar and wind power to make them green is massive and impractical. If only we could go nuclear….

i'm getting one your plugged PV systems, so i can still drive my ICE Subaru(s), because i love them. also, it's been mentioned before, that removing all of the (ICE) passenger vehicles(cars) from the road will make little to no difference to emissions.

This is the bottom line: Japan does not want BEVs. PERIOD. Why? That would make their national existence dependent on mainland China. People who studied history of east Asia know that these two (China & Japan) had... issues since Meiji restoration. Japan tried to... annex (putting it very mildly) a whole of China (and Asia) outright. Of course, since China reclaimed her status as an trade behemoth wants to return Japan a favour. It is a nasty dealings going back and forth.

So long as fossil fuels exist ICE will exist in future as generators for hybrid powertrains because electric motors are just so much better for reliability, durability and power delivery for consumer applications. A small highly efficient generator would perfectly bridge the gap between current ICE and pure electric cars like Tesla, again, ideal for most consumers.

Look, John, I am not philosophically opposed to technology. Give me a cigarette-sized packet of "Di-Lithium" crystals and I will happily fire up Enterprise and tour the galaxy at Warp Five. If you are moving, canned stuff is great. Even for food. Sure, I prefer the fresh stuff, but canned peaches and canned salmon is better than starving. When you are stationary, it is a whole new ball-game, as you so wisely pointed out in your ad for solar. And yes, money is a factor, which is why we suck oil out of the ground. And sure, solar panels, and geothermal, and nuclear, and tidal and all the rest of it, requires expensive infrastructure before we make a quid of it. here's the thing. Oil will effectively run out, and we use it for a shit more lot of things than just plonking it in an ICE engine to burn rubber on the way to Granny's Sunday roast. All sorts of pharmaceuticals, plastics, etc, etc. And ALL our energy comes from the sun, either by those photons bashing the shit out of those panels, or some phytoplankton or plant millions of years getting bombarded by those pesky little photons. And sure, you can get some energy from geothermal, which is basically radioactive decay and a bit of squishing due to gravity. And tidal energy comes from those big balls whizzing around the sky, now and then. So basically natural oil, coal, gas is not renewable, but solar, geothermal, etc is. Nuclear: "sort of', but it is basically a special kind of canned energy. So we have more renewable energy than we can ever use, the heat death of the universe notwithstanding. Given how moronic human beings are, I don't think that running out of power is a real concern. But we are going to run out of classes of power that are cheap and convenient now. And quickly. So electric trains are not a problem. Power rate tracks with renewables. If you use coal for those electrons, you are just deluding yourself. You may as well bring stream trains back. Cars? Nah. Hybrids make a bit more sense, depending on how you configure them, and where you get the electrons from. But you just can't stuff electrons into batteries to get good energy density. So ICE is here to stay. But where is the law that fuels cannot be synthetic? It is hardly carbon-neutral to make synthetic fuel using fossils fuels, and in fact, it is insane. So you go for one of those stationary thinga-me-bobs that don't need fossil fuels for energy. And yes, scaling is a problem. But once upon a time, to get the computing power of a modern wrist-watch you had fill a BIG room with clunky valves and things. Tons and tons of primitive electronics. And I get it. if it wasn't for fossil fuels we would sitting in a dim cave on our own excrement, chocking from the smoke of the fire, and dying from a piddly disease that an antibiotic would cure in a hot minute. But isn't it time to move on? Actually the problem would be less acute if we had started to wean ourselves off MASSIVE consumption of fossil fuels decades earlier. Less population back then for a start. Oz was what, 7 million in WW2? And we are not even populated compared to India or China with our 26 million and their billions. Eight billion "souls" all told. The longer we leave it, the worse it will get. Cities are unhealthy shit-holes already. And the 'burbs are taking away arable land. So is climate change. And fcuking fracking. Anyway, my 2 cents.

The really sad, scary thing for me is when my kids, who are both very academic and intelligent - start asking me questions, and all I can tell them is what Carl Sagan said - we live in a society exquisitely dependent on Science and Technology in which hardly anyone knows about science and technology. I've made a very good, very lucrative career out of being hardly anyone - but I don't think they will be able to do the same. We are f**cked. Much as I love my kids - they inherit a society that will collapse within their lifetime.

There was legislation passed mid last century in the US called something like the Patent Control Act. The purpose was to restrict patented innovation that would have a devastating effect on existing industry eg fuel efficiency in a Ford V8.

12th century cabon emissions were a lot more visible and piled up quickly. Could you imagine a modern-day highway traffic jam filled with horse and oxen drawn carriages plopping loads of carbon upon the roadways?

I'm starting with them. Do we really think Toyota are going to get it wrong..

Isn't saying that they are targeting the stupid and politicians a bit redundant? As in completely.

@14:48 hydrocarbons are an absolute miracle.

If I made the BZ4X/Soltera I'd also be inclined to stick to ICE going forward.

I am not an expert in very many things, but I once was an arborist: I can tell you for a fact that manufacturing plants don't grow on trees.

The no brainer is hybrid, because a relatively constant speed internal combustion generator is easier to control for emissions. No problems when the pedal is mashed as the electric motors drive the wheels. And power is stored braking and going down hill.

"Rivals and partners". You don't seem to have an issue with this between Kia and Hyundai. Dude.

So how do we run industry and commercial on solar batteries?

I'm pretty sick of hearing about all this carbon neutral nonsense. Of course we've heard it from the ev lobby for years and since they continue to use phrases like "zero emissions" seemingly without shame I can't really say this is any worse. Its a shame the word "pragmatism" seems to have been lost to time.

The big problem with existing hydrocarbon liquid fuel (ie fossil fuel) is that mostly, it is extracted from places far away, in places of questionable stability. Now we have bad actors lobbing things that go bang at supertankers. Things can get messy very quickly. We may be forced to make sythetic fuel in Australia because we can't source it from overseas.

Horizontally-opposed engines. Why would engines oppose horizontality?

Give us a 1 litre turbo with a couple of dozen kilowatt hours, our Bullshido Senseis. Hybrid is the Way.

Coming soon, "It's the all new carbon neutral fuel, ToySubMaz, it's all the car you've ever wanted ............and more!" 🤣

The Japanese like the idea of hydrogen for transportation. The idea of carbon free hydrogen is through the use of large solar plants producing carbon neutral hydrogen for export. Ross Garnaut book Superpower suggests this idea.

Stark Industries use the Arc reactor to power the new world car of the future.

When I hear "carbon neutral" from someone, I ask then: "Dude, you realize, that we breath out carbon dioxide, no?" Like seriously, you have to be fucking braided to believe "carbon neutral" and yet, some believe, like they believe in Jesus, or that other guy with the bear and towel on his head (I forget his name).

Well done mate…got a good laugh out of that one.

Alcohol fuel through fermentation of vegetable matter can be a cost effective option...

Long time no see. Welcome back.

Just install roof solar panels and when the first hail storm hits, you'll install some new ones.

The EU CAN'T ban carbon emitting vehicles. Period. EVs emit carbon (it's that "coal thing", and natural gas). They CAN ban ICEs, but the result will be just as effective at protecting the climate as the Diesel fiasco (remember THAT one?). To quote the Kingston trio: "When will they EVER learn?"

Don't forget , You are the carbon they want to eliminate .

Nuclear is financial BS. Because when Fukushima blew up the owner TEPKO didn't pay for the damage, that bill was picked by the Japanese taxpayer and people in other affected countries. If you said to a nuclear power company you need an insurance policy to pay for any damage your nuclear plant might do in the future the policy premium would be horrendous. The cost of kilowatt hour would go from something like 30 cents a KWH to $3.00 a KWH. Nuclear would only make sense in Australia for example if we want the option of producing a nuclear bomb at some time in future.

Comedy gold John! “Climate change is real AND it’s man made!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Corporate intentionally confusing word-vomit is truly epic with auto makers

EVs burn coal.

John , all of us who are sane and with a few cells left after a lifetime of decent Scotch and Shiraz , know that too many people on the planet is the problem. We also know the answer to that and it's not very palateable to the majority . So all the other talk is just crap and none of it will make any difference . There is not enough of everything , so some will suffer ,others won't . We are humans and that's the way it is . Selfishly , i am glad i'm almost seventy .....

1 Saudi & UAE are not the same. 2 Investment & Car fun can be separated. 3 My opinion comes from 1st hand experience of living locally & doing biz with car buffs

Nissan isn't involved because they are in a partnership with Renault and have been since 99. Mitsubishi joined that partnership in 2016. Honda is (for a lack of a better word) the only independent Japanese auto maker left. But they their fingers in so many pie. So cars aren't their main reason priority.
