🌍 Electrifying Insights from #Bosch's Leadership on E-Mobility’s Future 🔌 As the drive towards electric mobility (E-Mobility) accelerates, Hartung offers an honest assessment of the journey ahead. Recognizing E-Mobility as a growth sector, he acknowledges its progression in waves, rather than a straight line. Despite slower advancement than anticipated, Hartung remains optimistic about its ascent. 🛠️ With a commitment to technological openness, Bosch aims to continue supporting internal combustion technology globally, where necessary, highlighting the pragmatic approach to a greener future. Yet, Hartung emphasizes the EU's goals towards 2035 for CO2-neutral vehicles as realistic, signifying a decisive move towards electric vehicles for urban and suburban settings. 🚀 Highlighting Bosch's strategic pivot, Hartung discusses the imperative of expanding internationally to tap into untapped revenue potentials, particularly in the U.S. and beyond. Bosch's significant investment in China, with over 20% of its revenue generated locally, showcases the importance of aligning with global market potentials and the promising trajectory of E-Mobility in Asia. 💼 Amidst the transformation, the concern of job impacts is met with a thoughtful approach, balancing market demands with a socially responsible transition strategy. Bosch's collaborative efforts in vehicle development and commitment to avoid operational layoffs until 2026 in Germany, illustrate a forward-thinking approach to workforce management amidst technological shifts. 🌱 As we steer towards a sustainable automotive future, Hartung's insights reaffirm the importance of international collaboration, technological adaptability, and the strategic navigation of regulatory landscapes. Let's embrace the waves of change with resilience and innovation. #EMobility #Bosch #SustainableFuture #Innovation #GlobalMarkets #KOTRAMunich #AutomotiveIndustry #international #collaboration https://lnkd.in/dfDYYnc6

There is never a dull moment in the automotive industry. But there has rarely been so much to talk about as there is at the moment. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of exchanging thoughts with Klaus-Dieter Flörecke from German automotive media Automobilwoche. Here are six key messages from the interview: ➡️ Successful restructuring: As BENTELER Group, we are thrilled to have secured financing until 2028 two years ahead of schedule, marking the formal end of our restructuring. This achievement reaffirms the effectiveness of our strategy. ➡️ Strong foundation: Our diverse product portfolio serves the mobility, industry, and energy sectors, positioning us optimally in a dynamic market. Additionally, our commitment to sustainable materials and our successful steel tube business contribute to our strength. ➡️ Embracing change: Our industry is undergoing significant transformations, such as the shift to e-mobility and the relocation of production sites. To stay ahead, we remain dedicated to setting new trends and making mobility safer and more sustainable through innovative products and services (such as battery trays, battery cooling plates and our Green Tubes initiative). ➡️ Balancing amid challenges: Despite the anticipated economic downturn in the latter half of the year due to inflation and recession, we expect to stay within our forecasts and maintain a balanced position. Our agnostic approach to technology and drivetrain in our products ensures resilience. ➡️ Energy is essential: Medium- and long-term energy planning is a must. This is something no company can solve on its own. The issue of energy must be seen as a social challenge. ➡️ Collaboration matters: Business models in our industry are changing. As the automotive sector continues to evolve, and in order to overcome transformation and innovation challenges, there needs to be more collaboration. We, for example, remain open to partnerships for our new HOLON brand, to drive faster progress in the area of fully electric and autonomous movers.
