The long & winding road to zero
FOCUS:
ELECTRIFIED VEHICLES
have an impact on the environment. We must unravel
any misinformation and take an honest look at the
pros and cons of each technology for each location
and application.
Legislation and regulations have historically played
an enormous role in emissions reduction, and they will
in the future as well. However, these regulations need
to embrace a technology-neutral approach.
Governments should set targets and allow engineers to
figure out how various technologies can get us there.
This is the best way to avoid unintended
consequences. When you solve one problem, it's
quite possible that you will create a new one. This
shows up everywhere in the mobility sector, and
avoiding unintended consequences requires a truly
holistic view.
Now, bearing these concepts in mind, we need to
determine what tools are available to help us reach
(net) zero emissions. Engineers have developed many
brilliant propulsion technologies, and as we see it, the
ones with the most decarbonization potential are:
 Battery electric vehicles
 High-efficiency internal
combustion engine/hybrid
vehicles powered by
bio/e-fuels
 Carbon-free fuels, such as
hydrogen or ammonia, in fuel
cell or internal combustion
engine/hybrid vehicles
 Fuel cell electric vehicles
With all of these tools at our
disposal, why not leverage them
all? Each technology has
advantages and disadvantages,
and we should exploit them in
ways that play on their
strengths. This is what we
therefore recommend:
1. Using a mix of technologies
going forward. BEVs,
Degrees of electrification of the various personal mobility technologies (cars) we have at our disposal.
