GHG quota: Reduce emissions – Drive forward electromobility – Reward “everyone”

20 May 2022 It is overdue, also in view of current circumstances to make not only the generation but also the use of energy more sustainable and contemporary. The transformation of conventional energy supply in the direction of renewable energies needs to accelerate. The transport sector is one of the largest CO2 polluters in Germany. […]

Electromobility 2021: upswing and innovation vs. production downtime and chip shortages

The electromobility market was gaining strong momentum this year. In 2021, electrified cars (BEV and PHEV) will outstrip diesel vehicles in terms of new registrations1. In addition, news regarding new models, new laws or new technologies are popping up frequently. This is driven not least by incentives emanating from the sophistication and technological novelty of […]

e-Company Car workshop series | workshop day at EUREF-Campus in Berlin at October 28th 2021

Just an excerpt of the topics the team of e-Company Car workshop series addressed throughout the last year, in a series of virtual meetings which now culminated in […]

Change in the automotive industry – combustion engine makes way for the EVs | Electromobility means not only new technology, but also a change in the market.

Progress, innovation, renewable energies, and the goal of a CO2-free future, which is increasingly becoming the focus of social and political attention, are having a rising influence on the automotive industry. Away from combustion engines, towards electromobility. The new EU climate plan “Fit for 55”, issued in July 2021, calls for a reduction of CO2 […]

Reclassification of the carbon footprint of electric and internal combustion engine passenger cars by the ICCT

The European Union’s “Green Deal” aims to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050. To achieve this goal, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the transport sector must be reduced by at least 90% compared to 1990 levels. With this in mind, the ICCT (International Council On Clean Transportation) has conducted a new study to determine […]

Mobility Budget as alternative to car-or-cash | flexible working schemes require flexible mobility solutions

Companies with increasingly diverse mobility needs – sometimes rail, sometimes bike, sometimes car, sometimes plane – do not need full-service leasing rates but rather a mobility offering that can be used flexibly according to the situation. The reality of life, especially for the younger generation of employees, requires at most occasional access to a car, […]

E-company car fleets | about subjective and objective eMobility entry and usage barriers

While politics and industry postulate new plans and future visions for e-mobility every week, many companies find it difficult to transform their company car fleet to pure battery-electric vehicles. In the working group “e-Company Car”, together with our partner companies Acondas and Acterience as well as eMobility experts from the industry, we have been investigating […]

e-Company Cars for “Net-Zero Emissions” Companies

More and more companies world-wide are committing to achieving more rigorous CO2 emission targets as part of their sustainability strategies. They are setting “science based” emission targets and thus following an initiative by some NGOs and the United Nations Global Compact that enables businesses to take swift climate action by setting ambitious emissions reduction targets. […]

CO2 now has a price

Since New Year’s Day 2021, national emissions trading has started in the heating and transportation sectors. This means that a CO2 price will be levied on fossil fuels for the first time. Experts understandably argue that the price path currently provided in the German Fuel Emissions Trading Act (BEHG) is too low to make a […]
