Amag: Feasible solutions for the future
WHEN IT COMES TO individual mobility, the Amag Group doesn't spill the beans, but makes do. For example, the market share for purely battery-electric vehicles is set to remain above 30 percent.
But that's not all: The electricity to operate these e-vehicles is to be increasingly produced in-house with Helion and other partners. In addition, the Group has the ambition to operate Net Zero in 2040 and wants to avoid at least 90 percent of CO2 emissions. As one of the largest training companies in Switzerland, over 800 apprentices are working on solutions for the future, among other things (gallery on the right).
All-round carefree products
Helmut Ruhl, CEO of the Amag Group (gallery on the left): "Following the acquisition of Helion, we are now in a position to offer our customers complete and, above all, feasible solutions. In addition to the vehicle, the overall offering includes solar systems, heat pumps, intelligent charging solutions and energy management solutions for companies or for private individuals. For our customers, we offer new all-round worry-free products such as the purely electric ecosystem Clyde, where a BEV car subscription including electricity with a rebate of 30 Rp/kWh promotes private charging and uses decentralized renewable energy generation."
Reduction of energy costs
And it goes even further: a company's own PV system can reduce the energy costs for a BEV by around 80 percent compared to a combustion engine, and if you combine your own PV system with a BEV subscription from Clyde, the payback period drops from an average of eleven years to just eight years. Especially for companies and fleet customers, the newly founded movon AG offers a comprehensive range of fleet services from a single source. In addition to finance leasing, maintenance leasing, and full-service leasing, other services are offered such as fuel card and claims management, charging solutions, and even the installation and financing of sustainable energy systems for the corresponding electrically powered fleet vehicles.
Reduction CO2 emissions
By 2040, the Amag Group aims to reduce 90 percent of all CO2 emissions in order to achieve the Net Zero ambition. A multi-year contract has already been signed with Climeworks in 2022 to take some of the remaining emissions out of the air and store them under the earth's surface in the long term. By 2030, at least 70 percent of all vehicles sold by Amag at that time are to be purely battery-electric.
Over 75 000 m2 of PV modules will be installed on the company's own buildings by 2025 (gallery center) and processes will be transformed. Amag's goal is to bring over 400,000 battery-electric vehicles from Volkswagen brands to market by 2030. These will require around 1.3 terrawatt hours of electricity - about two percent of today's electricity production.
Ramp-up of electromobility
Helmut Ruhl: "The task now is to set the right framework conditions for the further ramp-up of electromobility. This includes a secure power supply, which means implementing the regulations of the Mantelerlass, simple charging solutions for tenants and condominium owners, implementing the targets for public charging infrastructure as agreed in the electromobility roadmap, and refraining from levying the automobile tax on electric cars."
