Reply To: R134a to be phased out so get ready for R1234yf, say suppliers

Only the US made this a standard on vehicles produced/imported in the country, Europe doesn’t have that legislation yet, Kia/Hyundai produce 50/50 of both gases.
Jaguar and LR only use new gas because they come under a specific manufacturing production of vehicles.
R134a will be used for many years, it’s still a clean/safe gas to use considering what has been used until an alternative is made and y1234 isn’t one of them.

I train, qualify persons for FGas certification and service/repair all service machines of both gases, Daimler use the R744 on certain S,E classes and that’s still only selected vehicles.
