FEV Mobility Conference Reexamines Energy Strategy
The European Union is currently not “Fit for 55” regarding its self-defined target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 percent by 2030 – particularly, when it comes to cutting emissions in the mobility sector. This was the essence of the 7th international FEV Zero CO2 Mobility Conference in Berlin. While the technologies and tools necessary for a successful mobility transition are in place with battery-electric and hydrogen-based applications, the phase-out of fossil fuels is happening far too slowly.

Hevi-Rail Offers Heavy Lifting With Precision
Engineers tasked with designing heavy-duty lift systems are often looking for bearing systems that are capable of muscling heavy loads (over 1,000 lbs) while still offering a practical dose of precision. Often, to fill this requirement, engineers are quick to choose a classic product like profile rail. This choice is fine, but a closer inspection of alternative products like Hevi-Rail reveals that there are more practical and even superior solutions available in the engineer’s toolbox.
