FVV has undergone a sweeping transformation over the last few years and now stands for all powertrain solutions and energy conversion systems of the future. However, our member companies, particularly suppliers and manufacturers of vehicle powertrain and drive systems, continue to encounter major international obstacles. Companies are increasingly considering retaining combustion engines for longer than was originally envisaged and contrary to their original planning, and are also working on concepts that use alternative carbon-neutral fuels. In this context, we believe it is necessary to move towards a more solution-oriented approach and greater technology neutrality. We have talked a lot about future concepts in the management bodies, be they powertrains, energy carriers or entire ecosystems. This was important as we need to think in terms of systems to be able to navigate the era of transformation. However, it is essential that we maintain a sharp focus on detailed solutions. Only then can we achieve the level of development in alternative powertrains that we see today for conventional systems. FVV plays a key role in this process and provides the basis for the development of future technology solutions with its pre-competitive research projects. #MakeItNew
