Excerpt
More and more car manufacturers are expanding their activities relating to sustainability. Small and large components of a passenger car are examined in detail, extensive life cycle assessments are carried out, and lengthy supply chains are analyzed. In our interview, Dr. Ulf Zillig from Mercedes-Benz discusses with ATZ about whether there is enough green electricity for all production plants and what steel and aluminum, or even coffee beans and bamboo, might be able to contribute.
