The world鈥檚 oldest carmaker Daimler has said it aims to bring the share of e-cars in its sales to 50 percent by 2030 and to achieve a 鈥渃arbon-neutral passenger car fleet鈥� by 2039. Plug-in hybrids or all-electric cars will make up half of its fleet at the end of the next decade, the company said in a聽聽on its so-called 鈥淎mbition 2039,鈥� in which it also announced 鈥淐O2-neutral production in Europe as of 2022鈥� as well as an 鈥渁greement on concrete CO2 measures with suppliers and joint design of infrastructure.鈥� Daimler鈥檚 CEO-designate Ola K盲llenius said the move would mean no less than 鈥渁 fundamental transformation of our company within less than three product cycles. That鈥檚 not much time when you consider that fossil fuels have dominated our business since the invention of the car by Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler some 130 years ago.鈥� However, technological change had always been at the heart of Daimler鈥檚 business and addressing the company鈥檚 carbon footprint would be a duty towards its customers, K盲llenius said. The company would also work on electrifying its van, truck and bus models, he said, adding that while batteries currently were in Daimler鈥檚 focus, the company continued to explore other clean propulsion systems like fuel cells.

The announcement by Daimler falls in line with similar plans by other German carmakers to substantially ramp up the share of e-cars in their portfolio as stubbornly high transport sector emissions increasingly shift into the focus of climate action advocates.
