E-cars bring new jobs
By 2030, the domestic automotive industry can generate a total of up to 33,900 jobs and 3.1 billion euros in added value through the expansion of e-mobility.
E-cars bring new jobs
The study“E-MAPP: E-Mobility and the Austrian Production Potential”on behalf of the Climate and Energy Fund shows: Austria will benefit less than other countries from the growth of the conventional car industry in the next few years, but will benefit from e-mobility. Because the domestic vehicle industry scores particularly well as a supplier. “Through e-mobility, our country can expand its pioneering role in environmental protection and at the same time create new jobs,” says Infrastructure Minister Jörg Leichtfried. He is announcing a strategy to promote e-mobility for the fall. In addition, there should be charging infrastructure throughout Austria by 2020. The study still finds a need for research, particularly on the production processes of fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries. Challenges in production structures primarily affect manufacturers of complete vehicles such as KTM or Magna.
