With our new @empoci.bsky.social policy brief we hope to contribute to a more informed debate on the future of the European automotive industry. In short: maintain the phase-out policies to ensure innovation and international competitiveness. For details, read on: www.sussex.ac.uk/webteam/gate...

Cover page of the first policy brief of the EMPOCI project, published in February 2025, with the title "How phase-out policies strengthen Europe's automotive industry". Shows its executive summary and key messages.

Because phase-out policy for petrol and diesel cars is such an important topic in Germany at the moment, we decided to translate our new phase-out policy brief into German! 🇩🇪

Petition gegen die Subventionierung fossiler Energien aus dem Klima- und Transformationfonds (KTF). ETH-Alumni und Initiator Jan Ossenbrink erklärt die Hintergründe hier: weact.campact.de/petitions/3-...

3,4 Mrd. Euro Klimageld für Gassubventionen? Nicht mit mir!

Warum wir diesen Vorschlag gemeinsam ablehnen sollten Eine Finanzierung der Gasspeicherumlage aus dem KTF würde fossiles Heizen günstiger machen. Dies würde die Anreize zum Umstieg auf emissionsfreie ...

Thanks for the great compilation. Our new @empoci.bsky.social policy brief shares insights into how such phase-out targets influence corporate decision making in the automotive industry: it shows how these targets actually help in the global innovation race: www.sussex.ac.uk/webteam/gate...

Consistent phase-out policies actually help European carmakers, according to our new policy brief! 📚

It argues that while the transition to electric vehicles is disruptive, it is also inevitable. In the long run, delays will only hurt the European automotive industry.

When do incumbents adopt radical net-zero technologies? In our new paper, @alinescherrer.bsky.social and I are analysing differences in strategy trajectories of European truck manufacturers towards alternative vehicle technologies, and their determinants. Full paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.te...

2x2 matrix showing four different technology innovation strategy trajectories moving towards radical net-zero solutions: focussed leapfrogger, proactive diversifier, diverse follower, initial incrementalist.

New method for mapping actors in (UK) policy consultations: helps to track how policy-subsystems are merging due to unfolding multi-system transitions (e.g. to e-mobility) or who participates and how this changes over time (policy, business, society, academia): www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Advancing net-zero transitions requires addressing multiple challenges and navigating the "dual politics" of acceleration: political conflict on the DECLINE of old industries and the EXPANSION of the new system. Investigated for e-mobility transitions in DE and CA: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Eight challenges in the acceleration phase of net-zero transitions, ranging from whole system change to international dynamics. Provides description, examples and policy implications.

What are the most frequented flight routes in Europe?

A whopping 43 flights between London and Amsterdam departed every day last year, making it the second-busiest route in Europe despite a direct 4-hour train alternative.

It’s time to rethink how we travel in Europe.

Despite many negative headlines, the global EV sales grew by around a third last year. The IEA expects electric sales to increase by more than a fifth in 2024.

In Europe, T&E expects EV sales to resume growth - as carmakers race to meet EU CO2 targets next year - reaching 24% market share in 2025.

Low-carbon innovations are crucial for net-zero, yet not without (unintended) negative consequences.

In my latest publication, I develop a typology of such negative consequences and put forward a research agenda!
