The shift towards climate-neutral vehicles is in full swing, presenting significant challenges to the automotive industry. New legislative regulations that will take place in the short future, such as the ban on combustion engine-driven vehicles in bigger European cities, are creating new realities. While the government is pushing the industry towards ‘electric,’ market acceptance remains cautious. The imminent question will be: What should happen to all the roadworthy and intact combustion engine vehicles on our streets when extensive climate protection measures significantly restrict or even make their use impossible? Our response to this lies in retrofitting, the conversion of existing vehicles to environmentally friendly standards. A trend that is already gaining popularity in the classic car scene.

In this session, you will get answers to questions such as:

• What current and future challenges does the automotive industry face?
• What does retrofitting mean?
• What opportunities do retrofitting offer in the context of mobility transition?
