Electric propulsion can utilize existing fuel far better, and can use far more different energy sources.


  2008 the countdown for electric mobility runs


A revolution is coming as significant as the change from horse cabs to cars. How can we accelerate the countdown to electric mobility?

Diesel engine in the future
