DHL EV TV: Recent Episodes
DHL Customer Solutions & Innovation
EV TV is here to explore the EV future and discover what is evolving in the world of electric vehicles 2020* to 2050. This series of electric vehicle podcasts will look at all aspects of EV technology, myths, and logistics. We will investigate electric vehicle range, batteries, benefits and how this will all impact the environment. We will be releasing new podcasts weekly, so join us on our 12-month journey as we discover how the future is electric.
Welcome to the sixth podcast from our popular DHL EV TV series. In this program, we look at the changing transportation landscape and how this is creating a new chapter in EV logistics.
The logistics sector is experiencing one of the biggest transformations in recent decades. The global focus on sustainability and zero carbon emissions is ushering a new chapter in EV logistics from electrified trucks to electric scooters for last mile delivery. Not only are logistics vehicle fleets being transformed, but the industry itself is having to adapt to anticipate and support the needs of Electric Vehicle manufactures and the entire production supply chain from Lithium-Ion Batteries to specialized semiconductors.
In this episode, we visit DHL’s Innovation Center near Cologne in Germany, one of several around the globe, and meet with Katja Busch, DHL CCO & Head of CSI and Fathi Tlatli, President Global Auto-Mobility Sector, DHL CSI. Together they explain the foundations and future systems needed for a new chapter in logistics. We also travel to IVECO Commercial Vehicles in Italy. Luca Sra, President of Truck Business Unit at IVECO Group explained how the company is pioneering the use of partnerships to ensure a smooth transition to an electric future and an EV Logistics network.
Welcome to the fifth podcast from our popular DHL EV TV series.
In this programme, we look at the changing transportation landscape and how advances in EV technology are shaping a new era of EV Logistics. DHL EV TV speaks to Gabriele Catacchio, Global e-Mobility Communication Manager at Stellantis, whose brands include Fiat, Chrysler, Citroen, Opel, Peugeot and Maserati, Eric Lafarge, Head of Light Commercial Vehicles for Stelantis at the eVillage centre at the Mirafiori Motor complex in Turin and Alexander Junge, Electrification Director for Aral in Germany, part of the BP Group.
We look into why the first electric vehicles were soon superseded by fuel-based engines and what has changed to turn the tables. We explore how the value chain players are adapting their operations and business models to meet the exponential demand for vehicles and charging stations.
Welcome to the fourth podcast from our popular DHL EV TV series. In this programme, we meet the team at the DHL Innovation Hub in Bonn, Germany.
Amongst a range of exciting topics, we focus on the importance of sustainability in the logistic sector, discover why OEMs are demanding greener supply chains and how the integration of ESG (environment, social & governance) will accelerate positive and sustainable logistics change.
We also explore why EV battery logistics are highly complex and require sophisticated tracking and monitoring systems for safe transport and storage and why it is clear that all logistics providers need to up their ‘sustainability’ game.
Welcome to the third podcast from our popular DHL EV TV series. In this programme, we look at future EV Batteries and the upcoming technology that will change how we see this emerging class of vehicles. Amongst a host of other topics, we discuss rapid charging, electrode lifespans and driving range. We open up an actual EV battery and show how they’re currently made and what can be done to improve them.
All experts agree that future EV batteries need to be made of materials that are more cost-efficient and sustainable while always looking to improve the safety and integrity of the components. Experts predict million-mile lifespans and full system rapid charging that takes less than 10 minutes It may sound like science fiction, but experts agree it is completely possible. We hope you enjoy this EV TV podcast about future EV Batteries.
Finding the power to drive is the number one challenge of the EV industry. That means better, cleaner and more powerful electric car batteries. In this podcast we look at the use of lithium batteries in cars, EV battery replacement, electric car lifespan and most importantly ask – are electric vehicles the future? Electric vehicle battery technology is advancing exponentially and promises to drive a surge in demand for both commercial and personal transportation. We look at what makes a modern battery, how EVs differ from ICE vehicles and investigate the growing market for second-life and reconditioned batteries. We put our research to the test and really challenge the battery life of electric cars. We hope you enjoy the second podcast in our series of DHL EVTV.
Welcome to the first podcast in our brand-new DHL EV TV series. In this podcast, we look at electric cars, pros & cons and how they impact our environment. We will answer questions such as: are electric cars really greener, will I ever be able to drive 600 miles on a single charge and what is the environmental impact of electric car batteries? We explore innovations in electric car technology and bust some myths about electricity production and carbon emissions. It’s estimated that by 2050 some 55% of all vehicles on the road will be electric including those used in the logistics industry. Not only will this improve energy use, reduce emissions and offer an exciting new driving experience, it should also be incredibly beneficial for the environment and the world we all share. We hope you enjoy this premier of EV TV.
