Sustainable solutions for the future of mobility
Monday, 22 February 2021 Reading time : 3 minutes
The steadily increasing global population growth leads to various challenges. Mobility, as a basic need of all societies, is one of them.
In order to ensure the mobility of people and goods in the future, sustainable solutions are needed that relieve the planet and societies of its negative impacts. These solutions must include as many areas of the supply and production chains as possible; from individual transport (automobiles, bicycles, etc.) to infrastructure (energy generation and distribution, transport infrastructure). Central players in this context are manufacturers of automobiles and energy producers.
Selected automakers seem well equipped for the near future German automaker BMW has a lot of experience in the field of electromobility and has set itself ambitious goals: By 2030, half of all vehicles sold are to be powered by electric motors. Volkswagen also has clear objectives. From 2050, CO2 neutrality is to be achieved for all passenger cars, and at the same time VW is entering into cooperative ventures with start-ups and technology companies. The shares of both companies are considered attractive by ZKB Equity Research and rated "overweight". The American manufacturer GM has announced that it will only sell vehicles that do not produce emissions from as early as 2035. In the land of pick-up trucks and Corvettes, this is a remarkable advance.
Hydrogen as an energy carrier These car manufacturers will not only rely on classic batteries for energy storage, but are also focusing more and more on hydrogen as an energy carrier. Various energy suppliers such as E.ON, RWE, Enel and Engie have also recognized the potential of hydrogen and the need for sustainable energy generation and storage, and are stepping up research and development in this area.
