Feature: Wind-Powered Cars: Are They Possible?

Clean Fleet Report

At the moment, the most viable mode of sustainable transportation is an electric vehicle (EV). However, some automakers are exploring different forms of green energy—specifically, wind. Are wind-powered cars a possibility, or are they something that’s likely to stay in the realm of science fiction?

Daimler Truck’s powertrain plants in Germany will produce electric drive components

Green Car Congress

This will be made possible, among other things, by a green power concept at Daimler: CO 2 -free power procurement from renewable energy sources will form the basis for CO 2 -neutral production. As part of this, the sites will purchase electricity from wind and solar farms as well as hydropower plants from 2022 onwards.

Drive Electric Submission on the Emissions Reduction Plan Discussion Document

Drive Electric

Our submission and inputs relate specifically to accelerating the uptake of e-mobility, but we recognise that decarbonising transport is much wider than that. E-mobility is an important component to a zero emissions transport system, but is still just a component. . Concept Consulting has useful analysis on implementing an ICE ban.
