EVER Monaco vs Hannover hall 132 exhibitions with the same theme, our mobility in the futures, but contrariness to the thematic similarity, differences like day and night.
The EVER Monaco 2006 was a near practice sales show. The Vectrix maxi scooter all the time driving around the Grimaldi forum. Journalists, motorbike dealers all the day test driving. GoWatt showed his extrem cheap electric scooter for 1249.-EUR. The future starts now and is only a question of infrastructure with enough plugs, to beat the 2 stroke engine rattle stink scooter devastatingly and to sweep from the market. Out with the happy message to the consumers, 60 Cent for 100km are enough to pay for the fuel of a scooter. The EVER Monaco 2006 gives optimism for our future mobility.
Hannover hall 13 is dominated by hydrogen. Everywhere fuel cells, electrolysis devices, hydrogen tanks. But there is a wall of silence asking about the competition and the market. "We do it in this way", "That are trade secrets", "I have to catch my airplane". The impression of Hannover hall 13 was, the future comes much to late. Like Gorbachev tolled over Erich Honecker: "Who comes to late will be punished by life". The absolut contrast to 60 Cent for 100km are enough had been an unfinished fuel cell scooter with hydrogen bootles to exchange with more than 60.-EUR for 100km. |
