has decided to convert all commercial vehicles and buses to hydrogen technology by 2035. The American NikolaMotor Company, inwhich Bosch also has a stake, is working on a ma- jor order from the Anheuser-Busch brewery group for over 800 fuel cell trucks. The com- pany is said to have over 14,000 pre-orders for this type of truck. A project initiated by the retailer Coop in Swit- zerland is almost exemplary and is now being carried out by a whole range of private compa- nies. The goal is to get 1,600 hydrogen trucks on the road by 2025. The commercial vehicles come from the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai. The hydrogen filling stations are set up by a private support association. These few examples show that we run the risk of missing out on this important tech- nology worldwide. It is of course to be wel- comed when – finally – Daimler and Volvo team up to develop fuel cell drives for com- mercial vehicles and intend to develop heavy commercial vehicles for long-distance trans- port ready for series production by the end of this decade. But there is still a lack of integrated and future-oriented concepts that take into ac- count not only the manufacturer‘s interests, but the perspectives of all steakholders. The federal example in particular shows how im- portant it is to take potential customers on board and to set up appropriate networks. These include in particular trade, logistics and forwarding agents as well as private and public transport operators. The public sector in particular could not only play a key role here in providing or approving the necessary infrastructure. Subject to procurement law considerations, in the case of public tenders for transport services, the providers who provide the tendered service with vehicles powered by hydrogen could be preferred. A similar procedure could be used to procure vehicles for public companies. Colleges and universitiesmust also be involved with their developments and capacities in the process of conceptual and structural trans- formation and further development of the domestic automotive and supplier industry. Haste is always required. Not only the corona pandemic, but also and primarily international competition is forcing us to act quickly and in a structurally sustainable manner. We don‘t have time. autoregion e.V. autoregion.eu/de Contact autoregion.eu/de/contact Raus aus der Krise – Wasserstoff als Alternative Die Corona-Pandemie hat eine weltweite wirtschaftliche Krise ausgelöst, die insbe- sondere die global vernetzte Automobil- industriemit vollerWucht trifft. Zeitweise Schließung von Fabriken, Fall von Absatz- zahlen auf nahezu allen Märkten in bisher nicht gekannter Größenordnung sind nur zwei Phänomene, die das Ausmaß der Krise erahnen lassen. Aber Corona deckt auch schonungslos Schwächen und Prob- lemzonen auf. Bereits vor Corona war die Automobilindustrie in keiner guten Ver- fassung … Weiterlesen … https://t1p.de/9ugu Summary DRUCK.
