The International Conference on Electric Vehicle Drives and E-Mobility will be held in Schweinfurt, Germany, Sept. 27-28, 23. Present your future solutions and submit your paper by 04/14-23.

There is a lot of discussion about eFuels, especially in connection with the possible ban on combustion technology for passenger cars. What is the current state of affairs?

Within the VDMA, hydrogen is not only of great interest for the VDMA Power-to-X for Applications, but is accompanied by a whole range of areas with diverse activities.

From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference is dedicated to practical technical challenges. Abstracts are now open for submission for a presentation at the November 2023 conference.

From 2035, no more passenger cars with internal combustion engines are to be registered in the EU. However, the use of climate-friendly eFuels in passenger cars must continue to be possible, because combustion engine technology in combination with CO2-neutral fuels is part of the solution for global climate protection.

The EU proposal for CO₂ fleet regulation for heavy commercial vehicles provides for a significant tightening of the previous CO₂ fleet limits, but leaves the door open in principle for internal combustion engines. In doing so, the Commission has avoided making the mistake with trucks that it made with passenger car drives.

A real hit for many years now is the "Emissions Brochure", which provides an up-to-date overview of the global rules on exhaust gas legislation for diesel and gas engines.

Industry eagerly awaits European Commission's proposal to revise CO2 regulation for heavy-duty vehicles and calls for inclusion of renewable fuels

Commenting on the current debate on the future of biofuels, which was initiated by Federal Minister for Agriculture Cem Özdemir and Federal Minister for the Environment Steffi Lemke, Dr. Tobias Ehrhard, Managing Director of the VDMA Agricultural Machinery Industry Association, says:

There is something new at VDMA! With the VDMA Industrial Drone Solutions collaboration group, a digital information and networking format is growing for everyone interested in drones in the industrial environment.

Practical technical challenges along the hydrogen value chain will be addressed in "From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference".

Practical and technical challenges of hydrogen and downstream products are the focus of the second international "From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference".

On July 6, 2022, the New Vehicle General Safety Regulation (EU 2019/2144) became applicable. On Nov. 16, 2022, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2236 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. This regulation defines the technical requirements for the type-approval of mobile cranes.

The positive mood at the world's largest exhibition of construction machinery and construction equipment reverberates.

Working Group 3 "Infrastructure and Configuration - Solutions" focuses on reference architectures and aspects of integrating wireless communication systems into machines, plants and production systems.

Working Group 2 "Wireless Technologies - Comparison by Requirements" focuses on the integration of wireless communication systems in machines, plants and production systems.

Working Group 1 "Requirements - Needs and Use Cases" discusses guiding questions for various industries.

Here you will find guides, whitepapers and other current publications on Wireless Communications for Machines.

With its technologies, mechanical and plant engineering can make an important contribution to climate protection and resource efficiency.

Modern logistics centers are complex automated facilities with high-bay warehouses up to 50 meters high. The maintenance of these facilities, where no one is present during regular operation, is correspondingly complex. The use of drones can be an effective solution here.

Elektromobilität ist ohne Gebäude kaum zu denken, da zukünftig immer mehr auch Arbeitgeber, Supermärkte, Parkhäuser und andere Nichtwohngebäude Lademöglichkeiten zur Verfügung stellen werden. Aufgrund der notwenigen hohen Anschlussleistung ist ein durch das Gebäudeenergiemanagement gesteuertes Abflachen der Bedarfsspitzen geboten.

For the first time, bauma offered a five-part webinar series on the key topics of the trade fair in cooperation with the VDMA.

Industrialization of fuel cell production is crucial for market success

The new Euro 7 emissions standard is pursuing the right goal with the wrong means. The VDMA criticizes the now envisaged design of the test procedures.

Parliament and Federal Council launch reform of national emissions trading - A balancing act between climate protection and security of supply

In the northernmost tip of Germany, the UAM-InnoRegion-SH is emerging, dedicated to the use and development of unmanned aerial systems and propulsion technologies. This is intended to contribute to structural change in the region.

The innovation cluster for large-scale production of fuel cell stacks (GO-Start BZ) is intended to support the potential for industrialization of stack production in Germany.

The EU continues to find it difficult to finally clarify the issue of the internal combustion engine and eFuels. Instead of securing the future of the internal combustion engine powered by eFuels in a climate-neutral manner, only a non-binding recital has now been integrated into the EU regulation. In the end, this does not help the cause.

The European Parliament voted on FuelEU Maritime in mid-October. This clears the way for the upcoming trilogue negotiations.

Eagerly awaited, the secret of this year's award winners was revealed on Sunday at the Munich Residenz.

The so-called trilogue negotiations between the EU Parliament, Council and Commission on the EU's "Fit for 55" climate package are of considerable importance for the hydrogen economy.

In the so-called trilogue negotiations between the EU Parliament, Council and Commission on CO2 fleet regulation, the opening for eFuels should be established.

Carbon management & removal technologies can contribute to building a sustainable CO2 circular economy, effectively integrating CO2 into use pathways, storing and capturing it. We have written a short position on this topic.
