BMW spokesman, Alexander Schmuck, has announced that the company will stop selling its diesel¹-powered cars in American market next year.

宝马发言人亚历山大·施穆克宣布，宝马将于明年在美国市场停售柴油车。

The decision was made following a shrinking market for diesel-powered cars in America and a recent one billion euro trail against Volkswagen, a giant automaker, over allegations of cheating on diesel emissions². The incident has hit the diesel-powered car market hard in America. Meanwhile, another giant auto-maker, Mercedes-Benz, also announced to retrieve³ from the market next year.

BMW SUV(Off-Road Vehicle) X5, which was once the most popular diesel-powered car model in the American market, will no longer appear on the BMW product launch in 2019. BMW will continue selling a few diesel-powered cars models X5,i3 and i5 in the market this year.

Schmuck said, BMW is focusing on its PHEV(plug in hybrid⁴ electric vehicle) cars now. Statistics revealed that PHEV car sales increased during the last year and a half in American market and the sales of diesel-powered cars were declining.

Schmuck says BMW will release a PHEV car,xDrive45e,in 2020 and the company plans to release 25 of its electric vehicles by 2025.
