What are the perks of individual mobility? Availability and reliability - especially in times of short-notice strikes. Availability and reliability may be one reason why we currently observe significant growth of plug-in hybrids alongside battery electric cars in Europe, the U.S., and China. As e-mobility is gaining ground across the globe, the industry is shaping the transformation in their realm. From the ZF Group perspective, we need #innovation and #flexibility to make this transformation a success for industry and society. Innovations for even more efficiency, sustainability and competitiveness. Flexibility in offering technologies and manufacturing those to be able to respond flexibly to changing (customer) demand. And there’s a third element that is needed for successful change: the right framework. From building up a (seamless) charging infrastructure, expanding renewable energies, and strengthening the grid to offering financial support and promoting new projects for an even stronger industry. Thank you to Arnd Franz, Mathew Vachaparampil, and the Verband der Automobilindustrie (VDA) e.V. for an insightful discussion at the Technischer Kongress 2024 on how the automotive industry drives change right now and how politics and society can support this. Together, by pulling in the same direction, we will make the transformation a success! #ZFNow #TK25
