They include from multi-nationals to SMEs, supplying state-of-the-art components and innovative technology for safe, smart and sustainable mobility,
Three different scenarios represent a mixed technology approach, the current EV-only approach proposed in the Fit for 55 package. The other is a radical EV ramp-up scenario.
