3 The transformation of the automotive and supplier industry is in full swing. Our declared goal is to make this process sustainable and socially just. The great challenge is therefore, on the one hand, to support the companies. They face demanding challenges to achieve the climate and decarbonisation goals. At the same time, we must continue to drive forward both the mobility transition and climate protection. Electromobility plays an important role for the mobility of the future as well as in achieving climate protection goals. In the Saarland, we are continuously developing electromobility. The main aim is to make the important areas of transport and mobility more sustainable. The successful expansion of the charging infrastructure is an essential prerequisite for the widespread use of electromobility in Saarland. Therefore, we also support the municipalities in their planning. However, out of a sense of responsibility towards younger generations, we are not putting all our eggs in one basket when it comes to drive systems. Rather, we will focus on further drive technologies such as hydrogen-powered vehicles, whether these are equipped with fuel cells or with combustion engines suitable for hydrogen. Saarland automobile country: Growth through change By State Secretary Jürgen Barke, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor, Energy and Transport of Saarland Our goal is to actively shape change within the automotive industry. In doing so, we in the Saarland are at the side of both our companies that are implementing this change and our citizens. And in doing so, we do not limit ourselves to a single target-oriented technology. We rely on different types of drive – and thus ensure that we can successfully contribute to climate protection in the short, medium and long term. Share procurement in public transport and in the logistics sector. We are also not ignoring bio-based and synthetic fuels, because: It is not the combustion principle of diesel and petrol engines that endangers the environment, but the fossil fuels. This is another reason why we are examining which legal and political framework conditions are needed for the mass production of climate-neutral eFuels and which funding scenarios are possible for the production and distribution and, above all, for the development of international cooperation in the field of eFuels. In addition to the efficiency of eFuels, however, their reliable availability is also a prerequisite for this. And let’s not forget: ultra-modern piston engines in the automotive industry will have potential on the global market for many years to come. Saarland’s suppliers are also ideally positioned for this. In Saarland, we see climate protection and transformation in the mobility sector as both a challenge and an opportunity. And on the way there, we continue to rely on innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and social acceptance. Summary Saarland Automobilland: Wachstum durch Wandel Von Staatssekretär Jürgen Barke, Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit, Energie und Verkehr des Saarlandes Unser Ziel ist es, den Wandel innerhalb der Automobilbranche aktiv zu gestalten. Dabei stehen wir im Saarland sowohl unseren Unternehmen, die diesen Wandel vollziehen, als auch den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern zur Seite. Und dabei beschränken wir uns nicht auf eine einzige zielführende Technologie. Wir setzen auf Weiterlesen https://t1p.de/m0af State Secretary Jürgen Barke, Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor, Energy and Transport of Saarland In the field of mobility, some measures of the Saarland Hydrogen Strategy are already being implemented, such as the gradual procurement of hydrogen vehicles for the fleet of the state government, but also vehicle verschiedene Antriebsarten – und stellen so sicher, dass wir kurz-, mittel- und langfristig erfolgreich … Bild: © Peter Kerkrath
