Zusammenfassung

With the imperative of rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions in commercial vehicles, there is no way around diverse alternatives to a fossil fueled diesel engine. To move forward with maximum speed and efficiency in this transformation, the most promising option is to rely on all CO₂-reducing energy sources. A restriction to battery-electric drives only, which will certainly be the most important option in future mobility, slows the transformation and is also associated with major challenges in many areas. In the often-ideological discussions about mobility, the term "zero emission" is often used without further restrictions, in particular for battery-electric mobility. With a more in-depth analysis, which specifically includes the correct choice of the balancing area, no drive technology can fulfill the request for "zero emission". It is also necessary to discuss whether "zero emission" is the right objective for all issues to be considered. An efficient and widely accepted transformation to renewable energies requires an objective consideration of the emissions of all future powertrains. This publication attempts to provide an initial analysis for the mobility-relevant components CO₂, particles and nitrogen oxides.
