“Time for a new export hit”
tageszeitung (taz)
Large-scale expansion of public transportation, integrated mobility concepts and charging infrastructure could offset job losses associated with a shift towards e-cars in Germany, Beate Willms writes in a commentary for taz. “Of course these jobs are different from those performed by car manufacturers today,” Willms writes. “But the transition doesn’t take place at a moment’s notice". A structural change for climate protection with corresponding employment policy “could make mobility of the future a new export hit.”
