Electromobility: E-cars as a source of energy?!
Electric vehicles depend heavily on the power grid and consequently suffer from the effects of the energy crisis. But what if the e-car of the future could contribute to the power supply itself? A study shows how car batteries can become electricity storage units.
Mobility transition: Whether e-cars can clean the air?
To save the climate, it is undoubtedly first and foremost important to reduce the stock of pollutants and carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. Researchers are now developing a CO2-negative battery that will enable electric cars to clean the air.
Ship traffic: AIDA relies again on diesel
For economic reasons, the cruise company does not use LNG to supply its ships. But what if the green future of shipping actaully lies in other environmentally friendly propulsion technologies?
E-Fuels: Porsche starts production
Together with project partners, the sports car manufacturer has opened a pilot plant for the production of synthetic fuels. In this way, Porsche wants to join the traffic turnaround and enable climate-friendly use of combustion cars.
How can combustion vehicles become greener?
Bio-fuels, e-fuels, electric - With so many petrol and diesel vehicles on the road for years after the end of combustion, the possibility of converting away from fossil fuels is essential. But there is no single clear path to do so.
Austria: No more toll bonus for Euro6 trucks
The neighbouring country is abolishing toll benefits for all Euro6 emission class trucks from next year, making traffic on Austrian roads more expensive. A decision that could make life much harder for hauliers and logistics companies.
Alcohol instead of electric?
In Europe, a change in transport almost always means electromobility. But now an approach is coming out of Brazil that is supposed to power vehicles with ethanol. An unusual technology that, with the support of major car companies, could become a solid solution for a more environmentally friendly transport world.
Sweden stops subsidies for electric cars
After other countries such as Norway and England decided to make vehicle taxes for electric cars compulsory, Sweden has now also cancelled subsidies for electric cars. The reason is that even without subsidies, electromobility is capable of gaining ground in Swedish cities.
Great Britain plans vehicle tax for e-cars
Thus, the Ministry of Finance wants to start plugging the financial hole, at least partially. Whether the new tax revenues will be enough to stop the budding regression, however, is still highly disputed in the ranks of British politics.
Commercial vehicles: Farewell to the combustion engine
Major manufacturers show their plans to make the industry more climate-friendly in the future. Electricity and hydrogen are at the centre of the innovation efforts. A switch that is not only driven by the desire for climate-friendly solutions in the transport sector, but also by the future driving bans in Europe.
