On Novem­ber 14 and 15, 2024, Germany’s bus indus­try gathe­red in Ber­lin for the first-ever BMDV Con­fe­rence on Cli­ma­te-Fri­end­ly Buses. Around 250 par­ti­ci­pan­ts atten­ded in per­son, joi­n­ed by a lar­ge online audi­ence, to dis­cuss alter­na­ti­ve dri­ve sys­tems in public trans­port, poli­ti­cal frame­works, and mar­ket and tech­no­lo­gy developments.

At EUREF, Prof. Göh­lich deli­ver­ed a com­pel­ling pre­sen­ta­ti­on on the future of e‑buses and the work of the Mobility2Grid rese­arch cam­pus, show­ca­sing pio­nee­ring solu­ti­ons for inte­gra­ting elec­tro­mo­bi­li­ty into urban ener­gy grids.

The event pro­vi­ded signi­fi­cant momen­tum for the mobi­li­ty tran­si­ti­on and high­ligh­ted the importance of col­la­bo­ra­ti­on bet­ween poli­tics, indus­try, and research.
