Sustainability in Aircraft, Railroad and Shipbuilding
Aircraft manufacturers are working on new engines for alternative fuels (Sustainable Aviation Fuels “SAF”) to enable more environmentally friendly flying. They also use electric motors for short-haul flights and hydrogen drives.
Shipbuilding is also working on lower-emission drives using similar energy and fuel sources. Green hydrogen, the hope of the energy transition, shows solutions for heavy-duty transport on ships.
Through the electrification of rail transport, climate-neutral transport can increasingly be realized using renewable energies. But the aim is to make rail journeys more sustainable and at the same time cheaper, faster and more comfortable through innovation. New technologies such as magnetic and hyperloop technology or autonomous trains offer opportunities for transformation.
The industry includes, for example, shipbuilding, boat and yacht building, rail vehicle construction, and aircraft and spacecraft construction.
