Deník N: The Green Deal is more important than ever, says the Decarbonising Automotive Transport conference

March 08, 2022

Our researcher Michal Hrubý attended the conference on Decarbonisation of Automotive Transport where he took part in the debate. We are on the threshold of a decision about the future of Czech car transport. Demand for electromobility is growing exponentially globally, as is the development of battery technology. In the future, these could become value-added products that will kick-start our economy and return the Czech Republic to a leading position in the investment environment. According to representatives of the European Parliament, the state administration, the automotive industry and independent experts on electromobility, it is now important for the Czech Republic to leave the scepticism of change behind and start educating and preparing for the decarbonisation of automotive transport. Not only for the environmental impact, but especially for the future competitiveness of the sector. This was stated in a debate at the Decarbonisation of Automotive Transport conference organised by EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy on Tuesday 1 March.

DENÍK N: Green Deal je důležitější než kdy předtím, zaznělo na konferenci Dekarbonizace automobilové dopravy

March 08, 2022

Náš výzkumný pracovník Michal Hrubý se zúčastnil konference o Dekarbonizaci automobilové dopravy. Stojíme na prahu rozhodnutí o budoucnosti české automobilové dopravy. Poptávka po elektromobilitě globálně skokově narůstá, podobně jako rozvoj technologií pro výrobu a využití baterií. Ty by se mohly v budoucnu stát produkty s přidanou hodnotou, které nastartují naši ekonomiku a vrátí Česko do čelných pozic v investičním prostředí. Podle zástupců Evropského parlamentu, státní správy, automobilového průmyslu a nezávislých expertů na elektromobilitu je nyní pro Českou republiku důležité opustit skepsi ze změn a začít se vzdělávat a připravovat na dekarbonizaci automobilové dopravy. Ať už kvůli vlivům na životní prostředí, ale zejména pro budoucí konkurenceschopnost odvětví. Uvedli to v debatě konference Dekarbonizace automobilové dopravy, kterou pořádal Institut pro evropskou politiku EUROPEUM v úterý 1. března.
