Slowing down global warming requires new concepts of mobility. The aim is to reduce CO2
emission in the medium term and to eliminate it eventually. Even though a variety of tech-nical
solutions are feasible policy makers in the Northern hemisphere opted for electro-mobility as
alternative to the still pre-dominantly used combustion engine vehicles.The trend to E-mobility
was therefore initiated by government decisions and still seems to depend more on the
policy-made change in regulations and economic incentives than on market forces. In particular
the EU seems to be firmly determined to switch transportation towards E-mobility. Since 2021
also the US administration has felt obliged to this aim.The consequences however are to be
felt also in parts of the world not being involved in these decisions. Even though Argentina is
not one of the leading countries in the automo-tive supply chain the countries' small and
medium-sized suppliers must adapt their com-pany strategies to the changing market
environment.In this book students and scholars discuss selected aspects. Nearly all of the
essays derive from Master theses written in the wider context of the maestría argentino-alemana
in International Business a programme run jointly by the University of Applied Sciences in
Mainz Germany and the Universidad de Ciencias Empresariales y Sociales (UCES) in Buenos
Aires.
