Electromobility is more than a mere departure point.

It was Nissan who initially started it all, launching the Leaf onto the market as one of the first viable electric cars. Its range was acceptable, at least for urban driving, and its drive comfort was already unrivalled at that time. For a while, it was also the top-selling electric vehicle in the world. Nissan was ahead of the curve with its ideas – regenerative braking, grid management, the car as an energy storage unit. Nissan has even implemented autonomous driving between Tokyo and Yokohama. However, we ourselves haven’t got that far yet. There are still numerous issues to overcome, especially regarding high-precision satellite navigation and legal clarity.

The climate crisis and the EU’s ambitious carbon emission goals have led to a major shift in thinking across Europe over the past two years. E-mobility is the buzzword and, one by one, the major automotive manufacturers are bidding farewell to combustion engine technology, which has been revered for over a century. During the 2010s, sales of electric cars only made a real impact on the market in Norway and Japan, but now people in Germany and elsewhere are catching on. The sales figures are rising spectacularly and, with the aid of exhaustive research and also thanks to state subsidies, ranges and prices for electric cars made in the US and Germany are now reaching acceptable levels. Driving an electric car is no longer just stylish. It’s now also becoming financially attractive as well. Moreover, both the market and public mood are creating a momentum of their own. This has sparked a wide range of e-mobility projects not only among automakers but also throughout the vast network of associated industries, each with its own distinct characteristics. Faircom Industries is right at the heart of this development. Just consider the transport needs on large construction sites, which can quite easily be handled with electric-powered solutions. But there is even more work in this field which matches our expertise perfectly. Our upcoming news updates will give you an overview of this branch of our operations.
