There is a lot of discussion about eFuels, especially in connection with the possible ban on combustion technology for passenger cars. What is the current state of affairs?
Within the VDMA, hydrogen is not only of great interest for the VDMA Power-to-X for Applications, but is accompanied by a whole range of areas with diverse activities.
From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference is dedicated to practical technical challenges. Abstracts are now open for submission for a presentation at the November 2023 conference.
From 2035, no more passenger cars with internal combustion engines are to be registered in the EU. However, the use of climate-friendly eFuels in passenger cars must continue to be possible, because combustion engine technology in combination with CO2-neutral fuels is part of the solution for global climate protection.
PEM and VDMA update popular battery production guides
Overview of the structure and the units of the working group Wireless Communications for Machines
The EU proposal for CO₂ fleet regulation for heavy commercial vehicles provides for a significant tightening of the previous CO₂ fleet limits, but leaves the door open in principle for internal combustion engines. In doing so, the Commission has avoided making the mistake with trucks that it made with passenger car drives.
A real hit for many years now is the "Emissions Brochure", which provides an up-to-date overview of the global rules on exhaust gas legislation for diesel and gas engines.
Industry eagerly awaits European Commission's proposal to revise CO2 regulation for heavy-duty vehicles and calls for inclusion of renewable fuels
The path to tomorrow's energy world starts with technologies such as power-to-X and hydrogen. Energy consumption data can also contribute to climate neutrality. Mechanical and plant engineering is playing a key role in all these fields.
Commenting on the current debate on the future of biofuels, which was initiated by Federal Minister for Agriculture Cem Özdemir and Federal Minister for the Environment Steffi Lemke, Dr. Tobias Ehrhard, Managing Director of the VDMA Agricultural Machinery Industry Association, says:
There is something new at VDMA! With the VDMA Industrial Drone Solutions collaboration group, a digital information and networking format is growing for everyone interested in drones in the industrial environment.
Practical technical challenges along the hydrogen value chain will be addressed in "From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference".
Practical and technical challenges of hydrogen and downstream products are the focus of the second international "From Production to Application: The #P2X Conference".
On July 6, 2022, the New Vehicle General Safety Regulation (EU 2019/2144) became applicable. On Nov. 16, 2022, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2236 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. This regulation defines the technical requirements for the type-approval of mobile cranes.

Modern logistics centers are complex automated facilities with high-bay warehouses up to 50 meters high. The maintenance of these facilities, where no one is present during regular operation, is correspondingly complex. The use of drones can be an effective solution here.
Elektromobilität ist ohne Gebäude kaum zu denken, da zukünftig immer mehr auch Arbeitgeber, Supermärkte, Parkhäuser und andere Nichtwohngebäude Lademöglichkeiten zur Verfügung stellen werden. Aufgrund der notwenigen hohen Anschlussleistung ist ein durch das Gebäudeenergiemanagement gesteuertes Abflachen der Bedarfsspitzen geboten.
