What if the U.S. made ALL the batteries for its #LightElectricVehicles? It could have major impacts on their trust and adoption 🛵 Learn more in my latest @Forbes article, based on a new study from @InnoEnergyEU and @EITUrbanMob! https://t.co/4t29qG5GiF

The Energy Observer is turning the tide on decarbonizing sea transport. The vessel runs on 100% #renewables and desalinates seawater for hydrogen power onboard! https://t.co/z6jrYPq0uE

EVs will help the #energytransition in more ways than one: by decarbonizing transport, but also by serving as mini #energystorage systems to provide backup power and stabilize the grid. https://t.co/hYrwF0CrQa

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

A transition to #sustainablefuels in shipping can create 4 million jobs, according to @glmforum and @Arup ⛴️ Bonus: the infrastructure buildout can help other industries like steel and chemicals decarbonize too. https://t.co/WYkmrRYbqF

Cool to see #ECargoBikes coming stateside thanks to @NYC_DOT! The $240M in annual savings for the city projected by @Columbia is pretty significant— and it could be even more for #logistics companies. https://t.co/ZLnYYHRoUo

Do #EVs break down less frequently than ICE vehicles? New findings from @ADAC suggest so— in a comparison of cars registered for the first time in 2021, they found that the breakdown rate of EVs was less than half that of ICE cars. https://t.co/kGPQS8SgXU

In trucking, time is money— so why are the U.S. and Europe betting on slow cable #charging for the #ElectricTrucks of the future? Read my article in @Forbes on why #BatterySwapping will be the big winner for #HDEVs. https://t.co/seByqnXpVX

Looking forward to some great discussions at @CoMotionNEWS Miami! 🌴 I'll be speaking on the panel "Crossroads or Convergence? Intermodal Transport and Efficiency for Both Goods and People" on May 7th, and serving as an expert panelist for the #startup competition.

Paris's investments in #GreenMobility and bike infrastructure are working: Walking, public transit, and now #cycling have become more popular than cars in the city center. https://t.co/BtFx6LJKge

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

Electric trucks and other #HDVs might be cost-competitive with diesel even sooner than 2030, according to new research from @EnergyInnovLLC. Fingers crossed that these forecasts hold true across the Atlantic as well! https://t.co/2GJkIIiOva

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

Charging anxiety is becoming the next big hurdle for EV adoption. Solutions like incorporation of #ChargingStation data into GPS systems are bridging the gap— but there’s still work to be done, and public-private partnerships will be key. https://t.co/NHFxsStrky

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

So proud of @swobbee for their new project— battery-swapping stations in New York, providing safe and accessible #charging for the city's delivery workers. https://t.co/4sMD68Z768

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

What's the hype around #SolidState batteries? 🔋 Although the technology's not ready yet, these batteries could significantly extend the lifespan and range of #EVs. That's why investment in R&I is crucial. https://t.co/RHH3Jpphzy

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

Beyond the obvious eco-friendly benefits, #CargoBikes offer a practical, efficient alternative for short-distance travel— hence why 18% of German users are ditching their cars. Would be great to see a study on whether business users are equally satisfied. https://t.co/VDooAQ45Kc

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

The transport sector, which accounts for 25% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, is now firmly committed to reducing its environmental footprint from heavy-duty vehicles. New sector targets aim to cut #CO2emissions by 90% by 2040! #EUGreen https://t.co/IKWIoMTDoG

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

Paris, Milan, Seville, Brussels— what do they have in common?
Answer: They’re all prioritizing a shift away from cars and towards #cycling, pedestrianism, and other forms of #greenmobility— part of a broader shift across Europe.

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

Interesting findings in @naturesustainab! 120 major cities could cut #transport emissions by 22% in 15 years with a blend of policies— environmentally friendlier cars, public transport investment, taxation changes, and smart urban planning. https://t.co/yOhdKVp3Xk

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

Should more companies have #mobility budgets? The allowance would encourage the use of more #sustainable commuting options for employees, while also benefiting the company’s image. Read more on https://t.co/u6pJ1hKzTa.

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

Our portfolio company @ono_motion got a shoutout in @ChannelNewsAsia today— great to see more international attention on the traffic reduction and emissions savings from using e-cargo bikes for #lastmile delivery! https://t.co/pqACNBmNq1

[Jennifer Dungs @JenniferDungs]

Do EVs produce up to 3x less CO2 than ICE vehicles over their lifetime? Yes. Are there still improvements to be made in #battery manufacturing? Also yes! That's why we support companies developing innovative battery technologies and business models.
