"Electromobility is the right trend, but it is not the solution to all mobility issues of the future at today's standards," said Tobias Hagenmeyer at 18. Handelsblatt Annual Meeting "The Automobile Industry" in Munich.

For the electric car speak much, but still you have the technology under control. Today's power mix does not guarantee CO₂-free driving, efficient energy storage are not available and in the benchmark costs, the electromobility could not keep up, said Hagenmeyer.

To the CO₂To reduce emissions in the foreseeable future, the existing technologies would first have to be pushed forward, in particular the electrification of the powertrain and the hybrid technology. "The goal is to reduce consumption by a further 30 percent," says Hagenmeyer. The 3 to 4 liter car is already possible with today's know-how. The transmission technology also has efficiency potential, according to the GETRAG president. Although the importance of transmission technology will change significantly with the electric car, the transmission development for the E-Smart already shows that transmission technologies will also optimize the performance of electric motors and assert their significance.
