MAHLE Champions Technology Diversity to Accelerate Decarbonisation
Published on 30/07/2025
» Bangkok, July 29, 2025 — Technology diversity is and remains the strategic approach of MAHLE and the most promising way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions rapidly and effectively. In view of the sluggish ramp-up of e-mobility, MAHLE considers that it is necessary to offer other types of electrification such as hybrid vehicles or range extenders in addition to pure battery-electric vehicles and for politicians to make these options possible. At the MAHLE Tech Day in Stuttgart, CEO Arnd Franz called for the rapid revision of carbon dioxide legislation in Europe to take into account sustainable internal combustion engines and climate-neutral fuels. “As a supplier, we need technology neutrality in legislation. So that we can make rapid progress with climate protection. So that the expertise and innovative strength of the European automotive industry can continue to flourish in Europe. So that jobs remain in Europe and Europe’s economy can recover its old strength.” In a volatile and extremely challenging business environment, the automotive supplier is focusing even more strongly on efficiency improvements – not only with respect to its products but also in its business processes with a view to further strengthening its competitiveness and resilience. At IAA Mobility in Munich, MAHLE is showcasing technologies for accelerating electrification and reducing CO2 emissions in road traffic. IAA Mobility is being held from September 9 to 14, 2025, and the MAHLE stand is located in Hall A1.
