MAHLE - Revolutionizing Transportation with Green Fuels
MAHLE's commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge technology leads the way, offering a greener, emissions-free future. Discover how the Global Biofuels Alliance, with key G20 members, is driving a revolutionary shift in transportation with biofuels.
Germany- MAHLE.,an automotive parts manufacturer. In a recent development, prominent members of the G20, such as Brazil, the United States, India, and several European nations, including Italy, have come together to establish the Global Biofuels Alliance. This alliance aims to expedite the decarbonization of the transportation sector, focusing on increasing the incorporation of biofuels in conventional fuels and expanding the utilization of pure biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel.
Emphasizing the significance of upholding the highest sustainability standards in biofuel production, MAHLE is actively advocating for the integration of biofuels alongside electric vehicles and hydrogen-based fuels as part of their strategy for accelerating decarbonization.
Arnd Franz, the CEO of MAHLE, said that, If we want to stop the increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration, we need solutions for all markets and applications. He fruther said, Biofuels like ethanol have a track record of successful market introduction. For a climate-neutral mobility, we need drastically bigger contributions from biofuels.
In a collaborative effort with its Tech Centers located in Farmington Hills, USA, and Pune, India, MAHLE's Global Bio-Mobility Center in Jundiaí will consolidate over two decades of expertise in ethanol and biodiesel engine development to advance their application engineering capabilities.
Everton Lopes da Silva, the Head of Engineering at MAHLE Brazil, said that, Ethanol and other biofuels have proven their efficiency, practicability and competitiveness. With more biofuels, we can move faster towards an emission free society, especially in markets with a strong agricultural sector.
Notably, MAHLE's Tech Center in Jundiaí stands as one of the largest engine development facilities in South America, equipped with dedicated resources for internal combustion engine development. These facilities also focus on testing with sustainable fuels. In addition, digitalization plays a significant role at this tech center, leveraging virtual simulation to optimize the development of efficient and environmentally-friendly engines for the future.
