The EU has set itself the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 – a joint effort by all member states. Around a quarter of the EU’s total greenhouse gas emissions relate to the transportation sector. As a result, electric mobility is becoming increasingly important, as recent studies show. A lot has happened since the first

For over more than 100 years, the term thermal management was synonymous with technologies that were used in classic combustion engines. Anyone who now thinks they no longer have any place in electric mobility is mistaken. A special kind of transformation. The technological change in automotive engineering naturally leads to a rethinking process among suppliers.

Established manufacturers are increasingly focusing on the electrification of off-road vehicles such as construction machinery – and not just because this can mean longer operating times. Start-ups and manufacturers of other off-road or agricultural machines are also looking for innovative solutions for efficiently electrifying their products. Rheinmetall is following this trend. Among other things, the

A growing number of mobile providers are expressing an interest in teleoperated driving technology. Their reasons go beyond the wide range of future applications that driverless remote controlled vehicles are opening up for fleet operators and logistics companies. One of the players on the young market for teleoperated driving is MIRA GmbH. In 2022, the

They assemble machines, take care of packaging, assist in quality control: developed inhouse, Rheinmetall subsidiary Pierburg’s collaborative robot systems are boosting efficiency and competitiveness at the company’s production plant in Neuss. Now, these smart helpers are poised to benefit other plants of the high-tech enterprise. Finding qualified workers is an increasingly pressing issue in economies

The need to provide charging solutions for electric vehicles is presenting local authorities with a multitude of challenges. A pilot project involving Rheinmetall, TankE and the City of Cologne is demonstrating how charging infrastructure can be integrated in curbstones using a technique that is low maintenance and takes up minimal space. From 2035 onwards, the

Alternative fuels, hybridization, batteries or fuel cells: figuring out which path mobility will take in future is extremely difficult, even with current EU guidelines for cars and trucks. What’s hard for consumers is even more difficult for manufacturers. Forced to make fundamental decisions far in advance that will have a decisive impact on their own
