Most of them will likely have to develop or switch to different engine types.

RIP German ICEs, though I suppose it's possible for them to produce their ICEs in other countries and sell them there.

Literally all large auto companies are German, Japanese, or British

So we at least still have Honda and Jaguar.

Norway and Sweden already banned all non-electric cars.

At least they still have Tesla

North Korea banned cars for everyone but high officials

At least they still have radiation burns

Ahem, I think you're forgetting all the Italian, Korean, American, French, Australian, and Swedish car companies as well.

Yeah, but those are the big three.
Italian and American are there too, but not as prominently.

Haha funi joek. America has Ford. Ford has the F-Series. The F-Series has been one of the best selling vehicles in the world for over 40 years. Italy has Fiat. Fiat owns Chrysler, and Chrysler is a huge car company, who in turn own Jeep, Dodge, SRT, and RAM.

Note that it says "By the Year 2030", by then, it'll be likely that technology has improved considerable and combustion engines would be abandoned.

They've already have incentives to promote zero-emission engines, and diesel cars are already much less popular than before in Europe. The deadline (2030) plus the possibility of extra incentives to the manufacterers to move them onto electric or hydrogen will make the transition easier. Or at least, I imagine.
