Electromobility and its electric vehicles are ready for the market. Step by step, a young market with high market dynamics is emerging.
The development of intelligent and clean vehicles is a strategic issue at global, European and national level against the backdrop of stricter regulations on CO2 emissions. The automotive industry will be reshaped by these megatrends over the next 10 years:
The integration of additional information from the infrastructure, e.g. from other vehicles and road users as well as from service providers (OEMs and third parties) via vehicle-to-vehicle communication and the Internet of Things, is driving the development of vehicle and infrastructure connectivity.
Important topics include the charging and refuelling infrastructure for electromobility, Power-to-X (hydrogen and e-fuels) and LNG in the passenger car and commercial vehicle application areas, as well as sector coupling with the linking of transport and energy networks.
