It plans to launch five fully electric
models between 2019 and 2021 and a range of hybrid models.
But it [ will still be manufacturing ] earlier models that have pure combustio
n engines.
请问第二句话可以写成以如下吗：
But it [ will still manufacture ] earlier models that have pure combustion en
gines.
如可，请问与原句的区别在哪?
谢谢: )

整体意思没有区别，只是大家很喜欢用 will be Ving 来表达

我想是要强调现在有在制造的东西未来仍然还会继续在制造吧

例：I will visit my parents this weekend.= I will be visiting my parents this weekend.

will be Ving 可表示不牵涉意愿问题，单纯"这事将发生"
