We had an enriching time at IMO-HSG | Institut für Mobilität @ Universität St.Gallen (HSG), discussing the transformative journey of mobility: What does the mobility transition require? What does it even mean? Is it just about switching from combustion engines to electric vehicles, or is it something far beyond that? And what role will the car play in this "new mobility" future? My conclusion from this vibrant discussion is that it is not just an "engine shift" but a comprehensive mobility transition. In my opinion, the car will continue to be a crucial pillar in this future construct. The question will be whether, in the future, we will own a car or purchase mobility. I foresee a mixed future, and the magic word for me is "integration," combining on-demand and mass mobility, sharing and owning models. Recently, I read the book "Superkraft Mensch" by Dr. Ferri Abolhassan, and one of my key takeaways was that future services will not only be more customer-specific but also significantly enhanced by situational components. The same applies to mobility. However, what the discussions also highlighted for me is that we often view mobility too rationally. Mobility is not just about getting from A to B. It is also about one's personal situation, safe space, status, comfort, fun, and joy, and therefore primarily about emotions. This component should not be underestimated. What is your opinion on the mobility transition? What role will the car play in "New Mobility"? #CASSMM24 #CASSMM #SmartMobility #SmartCities #SmartData

German charging network operators put to the test: Test winner Aral pulse offers customers the best charging experience This was the result of Connect's 2023 charging network test, from which Aral pulse emerged as the test winner among charging network operators. The practical test, which is conducted annually, evaluates fast charging station providers on the basis of 12 criteria, which can be grouped in the areas of customer service, hardware functionality and other customer offerings. Just three years after entering the local charging market, we now operate one of the largest ultrafast charging networks in Germany, with more than 1,700 charging points. The focus is always on the needs of our customers - our very good test result shows that we have already achieved a lot along this path. We will continue to systematically expand this offering to make the switch to e-mobility as attractive as possible for our customers.

🎉 Congratulations to the bp pulse (Aral Pulse) German team for being named the country’s number one charge point operator by @connect maga Connect magazine. Great achievement, and not an easy one! ⚡ Charging infrastructure is not only a race to build the biggest network and add chargers everywhere at full speed. Service, customer care, and hardware reliability count, especially when driving a car, van, or even an e-truck and needing to charge to reach your destiny or deliver your cargo on time. 📈 But numbers also matter. A few highlights here: - 22,000 CPs switched on worldwide. Aiming to reach 100,000 by 2030. - Operate one of Germany´s largest ultrafast charging networks.  - Opened Europe’s first EV truck charging corridor 🔌🚚🔌🚚🔌🚚 in Germany this year. It is now expanded to 11 sites. And 11 more sites are coming soon!  - New Gigahub in the UK – with an impressive ⚡180⚡ electric vehicles capacity. - Recently started deploying in Spain, and now more than 100 ultrafast CPs are live. #bppulse #goingelectric #leadingthecharge #EVcharging  #evcharging #evcharginginfrastructure #etrucks #electrictrucks

"For years there have been tests, pilots and proven business cases for bidirectional charging (bidi), but the standard didn't exist yet. That's the quantum leap we've made now, that all the players in the market are committed to this standard and we've already successfully tested it." In an interview with Carla Westerheide from electrive.net, our CSO Sebastian Lucae provides insights into bi-directional charging and what EcoG has to contribute to this crucial technology. Rather than manufacturing bidi chargers by ourselves, EcoG aims to support its manufacturers by providing the necessary technical components, including the charge controller and firmware / operating system that is open to third-party applications.

The colleagues of verkehr – Internationale Wochenzeitung have written a report on the Bundesverband Materialwirtschaft, Einkauf und Logistik e.V. (BME) / Verband Deutscher Verkehrsunternehmen (VDV) 17th Rail Freight Transport Forum. In it, they state that "only 18 per cent of freight in Germany is transported by rail. By 2030, the target is 25 per cent." In order to achieve this goal, we need multi-faceted solutions. One of these is to #digitalise the sector as much as possible. Our mission as GATX Rail Europe is therefore to make the #railcars as #intelligent as possible. This creates the framework conditions for significant improvements in ongoing operations and maintenance or the minimization of downtimes. I tried to explained this in the panel discussion as follows (shortened): 💡 "We need telematics and sensor technology" 🛠 "My dream is an intelligent railcar that knows what needs to be repaired and when." I can assure that our colleagues are working hard to get a little closer to this goal every day.
