The New Mobility Congress 2023 is over. The mud has settled and we are able to now replicate on what was mentioned, introduced, or predicted over the three September days in central Poland. In the event you learn my invitation to the occasion, you already know the organizers managed to “create a novel venue for key stakeholders within the zero-emission transport expertise sector from throughout Europe.” The principle matter areas included development of e-mobility, after all, the battery market, the electrical heavy-duty automobile market, company fleets, and hydrogen, which I’ve at all times been skeptical about.
I had the privilege to interview key individuals of the congress and ask them concerning the now and the longer term. I additionally created a novel venue — my interviews had been held in an previous Opel Blitz camper from 1974. It’s nonetheless operating on gasoline, however the plan is to transform it into an electrical drivetrain (extra about that later). Benefit from the e-conversations of day 1 beneath.
Sean Maguire, Strategic Partnerships & Communications Director at Clear Air Fund, supplied a superb alternative to ask about low-emission zones and the way they’ll speed up the electrical transition. Additionally, relating to one thing that pursuits me personally due to the place I reside, he was additionally in a position to speak about whether or not they’re just for massive cities.
Subsequent up: Man Hitchcock, Technical Director of Low Emission Cities at Ricardo Clear Vitality & Environmental Options. This continued the low-emission zones dialogue, or clear air zones as Man prefers to name them. We mentioned the challenges, greenwashing, how you can keep away from these issues, and rather more.
On to William Todts, Govt Director of Transport & Surroundings. Will we stand an opportunity competing with China and the US? Can Europe speed up much more in direction of the electrical transition? And what’s the low hanging fruit within the transition? These are questions we posed to William.
Final however undoubtedly not least from this New Mobility Congress interview roundup: Peter Badik, Co-Founder and Managing Associate at GreenWay. There isn’t a must introduce this man to longtime CleanTechnica readers. He has been a CleanTechnica reader for greater than a decade and we have collaborated (or at least used the GreenWay network) many times. It felt like speaking to a good friend, and it felt somewhat sentimental remembering the beginnings of e-mobility in Poland in 2016 when CleanTechnica was pushing the agenda and supporting the younger, nascent EV efforts right here. Please take pleasure in this discussing and provides Peter a spherical of applause for what he and his group are doing right here.

I do not like paywalls. You do not like paywalls. Who likes paywalls? Right here at CleanTechnica, we applied a restricted paywall for some time, but it surely at all times felt mistaken — and it was at all times robust to determine what we must always put behind there. In idea, your most unique and finest content material goes behind a paywall. However then fewer individuals learn it!! So, we have determined to utterly nix paywalls right here at CleanTechnica. However…
Thanks!
