"In the face of climate and ecological crises, it is vital that car use be reduced, while simultaneously shifting towards different powertrains and reducing the size, weight and energy demand of vehicles. This poses a challenge to the global car industry, as its business model historically centres on selling more and larger cars. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to examine the social-ecological limits of industrial restructuring in Germany." https://lnkd.in/ewEnseKP Degrowth is the only hope.

Interesting wake-up call from Patrick KOLLER FORVIA. In the automotive sector - such as other industries - sustainabilty raises concrete issues and must not be, by dint of goodwill, a roadblock on the journey. Sustainability and affordability are the two legs of a same positive transformation. Global performance => economic performance in the first place (that benefits as many). #automobile #industry Sia Partners

𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐄𝐜𝐨-𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐤𝐬𝐰𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧 Wallenius Marine on Monday christened its new vessel, Future Way, in Emden, Germany. The innovative car carrier is based on the Sleipner design concept and marks a significant advancement in the Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTC) segment. Developed in collaboration with Danish design firm KNUD E. HANSEN and Volkswagen Group, the Future Way boasts advanced hydro- and aerodynamic features that substantially reduce emissions, energy consumption, and environmental impact. The vessel is the first of two car carriers commissioned for Volkswagen’s Europe-North America route. “The Sleipner concept is the result of close co-operation between Wallenius, KNUD E. HANSEN and VW Group. This partnership has enabled us to take further steps towards truly sustainable shipping with Future Way,” said Johan Mattsson, CEO of Wallenius Marine. One of the most notable innovations is the ship’s ability to cross the Atlantic without ballast water when fully loaded. Finn Wollesen, Managing Director of KNUD E. HANSEN, explained: “This both reduces the risk of spreading invasive species and makes the vessel lighter, leading to lower fuel consumption.” “They not only emit less CO2, but also fewer nitrogen oxides, soot particles, and sulphur oxides, leading to better local air quality,” added Simon Motter, Head of Volkswagen Group Logistics. “The innovative design of these vessels results in lower fuel consumption and allows us to reduce emissions even further today.” The Future Way can transport up to 6,500 cars, utilizing an efficient center ramp system for loading and unloading. The 200-meter-long, 37-meter-wide vessel was built by CIMC Raffles in China.

Yesterday, at the invitation of Robert Stolz and Andreas Pomberger, we had the chance to test new electric chassis that will soon strengthen the aqua alpina | Culligan Austria fleet 🚛⚡ During the meeting, we naturally discussed the low operating costs of electric vehicles. Curious, I asked: - "Robert, how often do you service our bodies?" He looked surprised and replied: - "Michał, what are you even talking about? We’re using KTLC's high-quality aluminum bodies – we don’t service them at all!" (8-year lease) 😄 And you? How much time (and money) do you spend on maintenance and repairs for your delivery truck? 🚚🔧 #KTLCEurope #Aluminiumtruckbody #Innovation #Sustainability #ElectricVehicles #1mission0emission #SustainableTransport #ZeroEmission
