A major technological factor for the mobility sector is the advancing electric mobility.
These offer many advantages:
- Electromobility enables emission-free driving
- Due to the high energy efficiency of electric cars, they enable drastic energy savings in transport.
- Improves air quality in cities.
- Has a very high efficiency:
Electric motors convert 90% of the electrical energy into drive energy. - Has a low noise level:
Almost no noise at low speeds, and also low noise at high speeds. [9]
These benefits have potential positive impacts on mobility. They can reduce the ecological footprint, enable trends to support sustainable transport options and many more.
In the following statistics, one can see the proportional development of electric cars and hybrid cars in Germany. [10]
In relation to the total number of passenger cars in Germany, the share of e-cars is very low at less than one percent. Nevertheless, one can see a positive trend for hybrid and electric cars, which is also increasing year by year.
