    Dr. Leonhard Birnbaum – Mammoth Task Infrastructure | #05.08

    Sustainable transport of the future requires the right vehicles - and a lot has already happened here: Daimler Truck already has ten battery-electric models in its portfolio. But for customers to actually convert their fleets on a large scale, they need not only the right trucks and buses, but also a comprehensive charging infrastructure. Green transport is only possible with sufficient green energy. Martin Daum talks to E.ON CEO Leonhard Birnbaum about the mammoth task of building such an infrastructure.

    Dr. Reiner Haseloff – transformation as minister-president’s priority (German) | #05.07

    Daimler Truck is currently building its new logistics site for the worldwide spare parts supply of Mercedes-Benz Trucks in Saxony-Anhalt. Of course, the convenient location in the heart of Europe plays an important role here - but Saxony-Anhalt is also doing a lot right beyond that. In an interview with Daimler Truck CEO Martin Daum, Minister President Dr. Reiner Haseloff explains why location development is a top priority for him, how he convinces companies to locate in his state, how he wants to use the transformation of the economy towards CO2 neutrality to move Saxony-Anhalt forward - and why a positive image of Germany is so important for the prosperity of us all.

    Dr. Sopna Sury - Green hydrogen: the energy providers’ perspective | #05.04

    Hydrogen plays a crucial role in the transformation: it is a versatile energy source, storage, and carrier, but how can a hydrogen economy become a reality?
