Commenting on the set of proposals, automotive component supplier MAHLE noted that climateprotection is the key task for the shaping of mobility, and said that it welcomed the definition of a path towards climate neutrality. Currently, 60% of the group’s sales are not dependent on internal combustion engines for road vehicles.
million (US$12 million) to subsidize the project within its “Technologies for Sustainability and ClimateProtection – Chemical Processes and Use of CO 2 ” scheme. Peter Schuhmacher, President, BASF SE Process Research & Chemical Engineering. The engineering responsibility lies with Linde and ThyssenKrupp Uhde.
More specifically, he suggests that other than supporting fundamental R&D, programs to promote alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) “ are not currently warranted for climateprotection. A final implication is that, beyond fundamental R&D in hope of breakthroughs, policies to promote AFVs are not currently warranted for climateprotection.
Although plastics already contribute greatly to vehicular weight savings when incorporated in the chassis, interior and engine compartment, further multifunctional lightweight construction concepts are needed, BASF says. This also increases the car’s driving range. We take a holistic view of this topic.
The fuel-efficient and low-emission articulated buses comply with the stringent exhaust gas level Euro 6E (to take effect in 2022) and enable transportation companies to make the purposeful transition from combustion engines to electric mobility with their city buses. The electricity used is already coming from hydroelectric and wind power.

With respect to the emissions updates, the OEMs must also provide proof that the changes do not negatively impact any other parameters relevant for type approval—such as pollutant and CO 2 emissions, fuel consumption, noise and engine power. In this sense, modern and clean diesel technology can also contribute to climateprotection.
Such an approach can indicate policy directions consistent with fostering the conditions that comprehensive analyses imply are necessary for climateprotection. Avoiding CO2 releases that would otherwise occur (use biomass wastes; REDD). Sequestering additional carbon in the geosphere (CO2 EOR; other CCS options).
