The future is circular

As part of automotive industry, this is always our interesting topic to talk about: The future of mobility—a future that holds the potential to revolutionize the way we move, work, and live. Layman's terms in describing it : Cars are no longer served as mode of transport of getting from point A to point B, but are undergoing a remarkable transformation, fueled by technological advancements. The real example is Electric cars which driving a shift towards cleaner, greener, and more sustainable transportation systems. However, while progress has been made towards the adoption of EVs, there are still challenges and barriers that need to be addressed.

Electric vehicles are becoming more common in many types of transportation. However, electrification is definitely happening! In 2023, new electric vehicle sales grew a lot worldwide, and experts predict even more growth in 2024. In fact, by 2030, the demand for electric cars could increase sixfold, reaching 40 million cars per year. Car manufacturer Volvo Cars is leading the way by switching all their models to battery power by 2030. And it's not just cars – electrification is happening in trucks, buses, and even planes. Heart Aerospace, a start-up from Gothenburg, is developing a hybrid-electric plane, while companies like Stena Line are planning battery-powered ferries. Overall, the automotive and mobility sector is growing, with many opportunities for jobs and training! One example of our projects in this space is JUCR – providing fast and convenient access to all charging stations in Europe. Our goal was to design the interface from the very beginning, conduct research on what users need most, and integrate those insights into the application.

New van registrations are also increasingly zero emission, as demand for new battery electric vehicles grew to 1,186 units in January, up 19.4% on the same month last year. As a result, some 60,517 new BEVs have joined Britain’s roads since 2018, with access to the Plug-in Van Grant helping businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and cut their carbon emissions. Given some 28 different BEV models were registered in 2023, there is more choice than ever for buyers to invest in the latest zero emission vehicles. https://lnkd.in/eJrhAYwb

The European automotive market is undergoing a significant transformation, marked by a 14-month consecutive increase in new car sales. Notably, this growth has been primarily catalyzed by the rising prominence of electric and hybrid vehicles. In the past month, new car registrations experienced an impressive 9.2% surge, with 861,000 units making their way onto the roads. What's particularly intriguing is that over half of these registrations comprised electric and hybrid vehicles, reflecting a notable shift towards eco-conscious and sustainable modes of transportation. The implications are clear: the future of mobility is increasingly electric, and Europe stands at the forefront of this shift. The transition to cleaner and more sustainable transportation options not only promises quieter streets but also a reduction in air pollution. This trend prompts a critical question: Are electric vehicles the future of automotive industry? Their rapid rise and growing consumer interest suggest a transformative shift towards eco-friendly alternatives. As the industry continues to evolve, embracing cleaner energy sources and advanced technologies, now is the time to explore the potential benefits of electric vehicles. Join the conversation, consider reducing your carbon footprint, and evaluate the opportunities presented by electric cars as we drive towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
