The Electric Future of Mobility

Today the mobility sector must deal with unprecedented pressure from social movements, citizens, and politicians, due to its impact on climate change. Currently, approximately 25% of greenhouse gases produced by our society come from the transport sector.

In this context, the gradual abandonment of internal combustion engines is a hoped-for, required, and necessary result for all of those stakeholders that gravitate around mobility. Although the transition to renewable sources has suffered a strong interruption due to the international political crisis, the gradual spread of propulsion technologies based on electrification is recognized as one of the most effective solutions to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
