The fulfilment of the European CO2 reduction targets until 2050 needs realistic technical
solutions including backwards compatible approaches for existing vehicle fleets. An economic
and sustainable development towards climate neutral mobility requires a holistic view based on
life cycle assessments for the different mobility approaches including the economic impacts as
well as financing options. A synergetic discussion of solutions for future fuels and powertrain
technologies is needed to develop an economic pathway to a sustainable and affordable mobility
of tomorrow. The challenging goal for mobility can only be achieved through an international
cooperation of universities the automobile industry energy producers the oil industry and
the legislative bodies of the member states. The international colloquium aims to contribute to
the development of a climate-neutral mobility by exchanging views on and discussing all aspects
connected with the powertrain fuel environment system including the necessary political
regulations.
