Mobility is a central topic of the future and one focus is on electromobility. Electric vehicles offer significant advantages over motor vehicles in terms of energy efficiency and emissions.
By 2030, electric cars are expected to see an unprecedented rise to make up 40% of the total global vehicle population, while 60% of bikes, 50% of motorcycles and 30% of the world’s buses will also be electrically powered. Hydrogen powered vehicles are also playing an important role in this transition, where the trucks will see the major benefits.
At the same time, the concept of electric aircraft has been increasingly gaining in importance. The industry is already seeing a shift to “more electric aircraft” with the development of electric aerospace applications, such as electric hoists and electro-mechanical actuators. And a number of companies have dedicated team for the development of electric VTOLs and other fully electric aircraft.
