Climate neutral by 2050 – this is what the EU has committed to with the European Climate Change Act in order to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. With its emission targets and legislation, the EU is aiming for zero-emission road traffic by 2050. The new EuVII emissions standard is intended to be an intermediate step on this path. In particular, it provides for a tightening of the NOx limits. However, the technological effort required and the associated rising costs for vehicles are disproportionate to the marginal NOx reduction potential, which has no significant impact on air quality. In order to achieve the goal of local zero-emission mobility as quickly and efficiently as possible with the available resources, the focus should be on alternative drive systems and the possibility of converting existing vehicles to regenerative fuels. MAN is aiming for all new commercial vehicles sold from 2040 onwards to be powered by fossil-free fuels. In order to further accelerate the transition to zero-emission powertrains, which is urgently needed in terms of the fight against climate change, MAN has joined forces with Friedrich Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and Nuremberg Institute of Technology to establish the Future Driveline Campus. The aim of this three-way alliance is to share and further expand the existing high-quality infrastructure, such as analysis equipment and test benches, and to jointly research and develop ideas for locally emission-free drives in close cooperation between industry and science.
