To support development and global roll out of environmentally friendly
combustion engines with renewable biofuels, MAHLE has established a
Global Bio-Mobility Center in Jundiaí, Brazil.
Just recently, key members of the G20 including Brazil, the United
States, India, and European countries like Italy have established a
Global Biofuels Alliance to accelerate decarbonization of the
transportation sector. The initiative targets stronger biofuels
admixture in regular fuels and broader use of pure biofuels like
ethanol or biodiesel.
The future
of mobility is battery-electric or hybrid. This is particularly true
for Europe, North America, and China. But clean and efficient
combustion engines and hydrogen drives are also part of the drive mix
of the future. This is because developments will vary greatly
depending on the region of the world. This applies equally to
passenger cars and trucks. In emerging markets in particular, the
market for vehicles with internal combustion engines is expected to
continue to grow, for example in India or South America. Here,
sustainable fuels, such as e-fuels or biofuels, will rapidly
contribute to the decarbonization of road transport.
If we want to stop increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration,
we need solutions for all markets and applications. Biofuels like
ethanol have a track record of successful market introduction. For a
climate neutral mobility, we need drastically bigger contributions
from biofuels.
—MAHLE’s CEO Arnd Franz.
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.
—Everton Lopes da Silva, MAHLE’s head of engineering
in Brazil
The MAHLE Tech Center in Jundiaí is one of the
largest engine development centers in South America with dedicated
resources for internal combustion engine development, which includes
testing with sustainable fuels. Digitalization is also part of this
tech center, using virtual simulation to optimize the efficient and
green engine of the future.
