The mobility revolution is soon to reach the German military as well. Thanks to hydrogen and, in part, electric drives, the Bundeswehr is also to become climate-neutral over the next 20 years. The German government wants to reduce climate-damaging emissions in every sector in order to achieve the climate goals.
A company from Switzerland is making this a reality and bringing an eco-yacht to the luxury market. Thanks to 64 square metres of solar panels, the boat produces its own hydrogen and can therefore theoretically travel infinitely without refuelling stops - and without emissions.
The first electric motorway is to be built by 2025. Then electric trucks - and later e-cars - can be supplied with electricity while driving thanks to dynamic charging. In this way, Sweden plans to promote the development of electric mobility solutions and make its contribution to the decarbonisation of transport.
According to experts, electric vehicles can become up to 75% more sustainable in the coming years. Advanced battery technologies, such as solid-state batteries, can make the difference in terms of climate neutrality. They are greener, more efficient and powerful. But their use in the car market is still a long way off.
Today, new vehicles weigh almost twice as much as old cars. Electric cars in particular, with their heavy battery, put too much strain on the traffic infrastructure - and raise doubts about whether parking spaces and roads can cope with the heavy weight of electric vehicles.
This Tuesday, 07 March 2023, was supposed to be the day: The EU wanted to put an end to the combustion engine once and for all. But the signing of its decision has to be postponed. Some EU states do not want to participate. Fearing that the vote would be negative, the decision was postponed for the time being.
Just under a week ago, Chancellor Scholz met with the Indian Prime Minister. His goal: to profit from the opportunities and capabilities of the subcontinent in the areas of wind energy, solar energy, biomass, hydrogen and, above all, electromobility. Is India becoming a pioneer of electric mobility?
Synthetic fuels such as e-fuels and HVO are approved as pure fuels in Germany. What meets with approval from the FDP, meets with criticism from the Greens.
Only electric taxis are to be newly registered from 2025. The Hanseatic city wants to reduce emissions in the transport sector - and thus make faster progress in climate protection. Will other cities follow suit and become more involved in electromobility?
Plug-in hybrid models emit more CO2 in city and commuter traffic than stated - this is shown by a study by Transport & Environment (T&E). The environmental organisation is now calling for an end to tax breaks for part-time electric vehicles.
