✨Introducing the CIRCULAZE Top Circular Company 2023✨ Meet Quantron AG: The Electrifiers Founder/s: Andreas Haller & Herbert Robel Based In: Augsburg-Gersthofen, Germany What They Do: QUANTRON, with their motto "Empower the Future," embodies the core values of reliability, energy, and bravery. But they're not just about words; they're all about action! What makes QUANTRON stand out is their unique blend of e-mobility expertise in both electric and hydrogen powered fuel cells and over 140 years of commercial vehicle experience; Now in the fifth generation of the Haller family, they've been in the transportation game since the days of horse-drawn carriages. As a tech player, they are specialists in electrifying both new and used vehicles to give them a second and environmentally friendlier life with their Q-Retrofit concept. Back in 2011, founder Andreas Haller took a giant leap and sold their very first e-bus to the municipal utility of Osnabrück. And he didn't stop there – in 2021, QUANTRON teamed up with IKEA Vienna to supply a fleet of 60 zero emission environmentally friendly electric and hydrogen powered trucks. Even more recently, they announced their collaboration with industry leaders PepsiCo and Red Sea Global, delivering the first 50 QUANTRON QARGO 4 EV light trucks to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – the first electric vehicle to hit the roads of the country and a huge deal in the land of oil! The future holds even more great things in store. In 2024, QUANTRON is partnering up with ACE Championship, a recently launched all-electric racing series that is on a mission to promote young motorsport talents and champion green solutions. The QUANTRON QHM FCEV AERO zero-emission trucks will support in the effort to decarbonize motorsport by organizing ACE Championship’s logistics. This dedication to sustainability earned QUANTRON the prestigious European Transport Award for Sustainability in 2022. In a world where sustainable solutions are the need of the hour, the Haller family and their team are leading the charge. With QUANTRON, you're not just getting from point A to B; you're part of a movement towards a cleaner, hydrogen powered, and greener future. 🔗Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dFDmJUrH #CIRCULAZE #cantdoitalone #circulareconomy

The #circulareconomy was another important theme at #ifat2024. I appreciated the invitation to participate in events at the show covering this topic.

Revving Up: Ebusco's Road Ahead in 2023 and Beyond Ebusco's 2023 outlook is now between EUR 145-155M in revenue. Despite some challenges, Ebusco plans to exceed EUR 300M in revenue in 2024 and achieve positive results. They'll also implement cost-saving measures in early 2024. Keep an eye out for updates at the shareholder meeting on January 29, 2024. #Ebusco #BusinessUpdate #2024Outlook #sustainability #ebuses #busandcoach Ebusco®

🚗 “𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬” The powerful quote shared at the event “Circularity - Straight to the Point” resonated deeply with me. With electric vehicles, 60-80% of their lifetime CO2 emissions come from the raw materials. This means that to produce net zero cars, majority of the material need to be either biobased or recycled. Our aging cars, once destined for scrapyards, will then be valuable sources of materials waiting to be reclaimed. We are looking at a future where retired vehicles will be the gold mines of raw materials for next-generation cars. I am proud to be part of BorgWarners sustainability work, and I am excited to see what we can achieve this year when we continue to collaborate with customers, suppliers, and innovators to find ways to reduce our products CO2 footprint. Today and tomorrow. Big thanks to Plug and Play Tech Center and Volvo Cars for arranging the inspiring event 🌟 Let's work together towards a #sustainable future!

📣 Crossell partners with Bright Motor Group to drive sustainability efforts using HVO vans 🚙   As part of our CSR & Sustainability agenda, we have moved some of our vans to HVO.   George Leahy noted: "We are delighted to share the exciting news of our HVO fuel trial in our fleet rollout, potentially reducing emissions by up to 90%. This significant stride exemplifies our dedication to sustainability. 🌿💚 Moving forward, we aim to scale this initiative, increasing the number of HVO vehicles later this year as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility commitments. Together, let's continue to innovate and lead the charge towards a more environmentally conscious future!" 🌍 📸 Below is George Leahy (Crossell MD) with Matt Smith (Bright Motor Group) shaking hands on this sustainability initiative. 🌱 #HVO #sustainability #green #yourbrandourbusiness #HVOvehicles #socialresponsibility #HVOfuel #sustainabilitymatters #sustainabilityinaction #betterfuture #salesandmerchandising #retail

Going from Madrid to Volvohallen! We've just wrapped up two great days at the 2nd “International Conference on Asphalt 4.0” (#ICA4point0) in Madrid. Shout-out to Asefma, ZAS, and EAPA for organizing such an insightful gathering. From cutting-edge technologies to roundtable discussions, it's clear that the asphalt industry is pulsating with digital innovation. Connecting with industry experts, diving deep into the technological transformations, and being a part of engaging discussions has been truly enlightening! And guess what? The momentum doesn't stop here. Putting road data into use in the infrastructure industry is creating a lot of value, and combining it with services in cars, makes a real difference for driver safety. That is what we are focusing on next! Next Stop? Volvohallen for the Mobility Summit 2023. The Nordics are taking charge in driving sustainable transition. As we explore connectivity and data at this summit, we're excited to see different perspectives of transportation and mobility. If you'll be at the Mobility Summit, let's connect and continue the conversation. Andreas Andersson, Jonas Brusmark and Otto Johansson will be there, don't hesitate to reach out to them. 🔗 #asphaltinnovation #mobilitysummit2023 #roaddata

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay. Sustainability and climate protection are key pillars of the Mercedes-Benz sustainable business strategy. A variety of initiatives and technologies are being implemented that will produce Mercedes-Benz vehicles in a more sustainable way. Mercedes-Benz is stepping forward with a circular economy approach with the aim of reducing carbon footprint. • Use of CO2-reduced steel and aluminum including recycled content to drive supply chain decarbonization.  • Currently building North America’s high-power charging network. • Construction of a battery recycling plant in Kuppenheim, Germany – the first of its kind in Europe.  • Launch of our electric-first platform MMA in 2025 marks the next step into our electric future. #MercedesBenzCanada #Sustainability

As a part of our sustainable strategy, we team up with some automotive value chain partners to reduce our carbon footprint

Formula One has just released its first Impact Report, in which it comprehensively outlines their progress on the ESG deliverables they outlined in their 2019 Sustainability Strategy report. In their 2019 report, they carefully outlined the measures they will use to measure their sustainability strategy goals, across all areas of their operations and their supply chain, as well as did a comprehensive analysis of their carbon footprint. Since then, they have made significant progress in their aim to become net-zero by 2030. Here are some highlights: -any assets brought to their Fan Zone displays will be shipped by road or sea instead by air -as of 2023, all cars used a 55% sustainable fuel, and are expected to use 100% sustainable fuel by 2027 -an increase of 15% of race sponsors offering lower carbon alternatives for fans to reach F1 events It is comprehensive reports and measurable commitments like this that we need from large companies to know that they really care about their sustainability initiatives and being pioneers in 21st century sustainable business. Kudos to Formula 1 One; I look forward to seeing them implement more sustainability initiatives and reach net-zero in the near future. #esg #sustainability #netzero #formulaone #motorsports
