electromobility is here
The primary impetus for the development of electromobility in Europe came from the desire to reduce CO2 emissions. While this remains an important issue, economic factors are gradually becoming the main driver for the mass uptake of electric vehicles. They are slowly reaching a level of cost comparability with combustion-powered vehicles. Despite the fact that the Czech Republic is not among the leaders in the adoption of electromobility among EU Member States, it is expected that the number of electric vehicles on Czech streets could reach one million within the next ten years.
The Electromobility Forum promises to provide an up-to-date overview of the latest market trends, technological innovations and legislative changes. This meeting aims not only to provide comprehensive information on the current state of the industry, but also to discuss new opportunities and potential challenges facing it, including the current hot topic of melting competition for Europe from China and the US. There will also be an exploration of the heavy electric vehicle segment and a debate on the potential use of hydrogen propulsion in transport. The conference is an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in the electrification of corporate fleets, representatives of government and municipalities, product and service suppliers, and anyone interested in the current state and future prospects of electromobility.
We have prepared two days full of inspiring lectures, discussions and sharing of practical experiences from the Czech and European environment. The forum will be complemented by an exhibition where you will have the opportunity to personally test electric vehicles and learn about the latest technological innovations in this field. During the conference, we will combine professional training with opportunities to establish new business partnerships. The opening evening will be enlivened by a networking cocktail, providing an ideal opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences among the participants.

HN: Jak to bude od příštího roku s parkováním elektroaut v Praze? Tři měsíce před plánovanými změnami je ve hře několik variant

HN: Elektromobilita ano, ale s ohledem na realitu trhu. Evropský autoprůmysl bude potřeba nastartovat

HN: Kupka chce rychle přehodnotit zákaz prodeje aut se spalovacími motory. Je to klíčové pro podporu elektromobility, říká

fDrive: Green Deal měnit nehodláme, zní z nové Evropské komise. Redukce emisí už je vidět.

HN: Česko je v elektromobilitě pořád pozadu. Kdyby auta zlevnila o výši dotace, trh se rozjede, shodli se experti v debatě
