Delighted that we are one of the Automotive Awards Winners 2023! It's great to be recognised for the work we are doing in the #transportsector. As The Business Concept highlights "vehicles do so much more than take us from A to B". As well as reducing the time spent travelling, the Hamba (Mobility for Africa's electric-tricycle) is enabling an increase in productivity, access to social services, and creating employment, from Transport and logistics Drivers to on-the-job trained local technicians. And we're doing it electrically, powered by the sun! ☀ 🔋 #solarsolutions #renewableenergy Mobility is possibility. #emobilityrevolution #transformingtransportation #EV #driversofdevelopment

United We Stand...divided we WILL be 'conquered'! That's the stark reality facing the European Auto Industry right now in my opinion, and much more importantly, a perspective that I know Luca de Meo shares right now. And of course, it's one thing to point out the myriad problems and challenges - far better to build a bridge over troubled waters - propose a plan, build a consensus...and execute! So bravo Luca for your 'Letter To Europe' 👏 Advocacy for a sustainable, inclusive and competitive automotive industry, or in other words:- Vision. Mission. Purpose. Having spent time in conversation with the letter's author at The Geneva International Motor Show, and then heard him discussing an exciting collaboration between European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) & Eurelectric in Brussels - it's all a timely 'call to arms'! I hope to see this noble and important ambition 'come to life' and I'm FULLY behind it - and happy to help in any way I can! Izzy Whizzy - let's get busy! 🤝 #automotive #supplychain #electricvehicles #management

Our industry, and our world, are going through one of the biggest transformations in the last 100 years. In this context, nobody can claim to be able to do everything alone. It’s time for us, European car manufacturers, to speak up and take the initiative to drive the change. It’s with this in mind that we decided to organise a workshop with all the CEOs of the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), right here in Munich. We started working on a Manifesto to clearly express our expectations from the next European Commission, such as a robust industrial strategy. We also defined the most important initiatives that we need to activate to be up to the challenge, for example to work with other industries to secure upstream electric vehicle value chain. Results will come pretty soon!  #ACEA #CEOs #collaboration #IAAMunich
