Up to 1939, Detroit Electric range of around 250 km using 26.4 kWh from a nickel-metal models with more than a 100-kilometer driving hydride battery. 2) A technological leap, based on lithium-ion range. Around the turn of the century there were batteries from Sony. With these batteries, Tesla joins the car more electric cars on the road than combustion industry in 2008 with a roadster; 200 kph top speed, 350-ki- ones.

Today, there are many vehicles take over. electric cars, and Schae£ler is a sought-a¢er partner.

 ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVES?

Is it possible to have a million electric cars on the road in Germany by 2020? The bridging solution comes  THE LIMITS from the hybrid drive using the combustion engine and electricity. makes the breakthrough in 1997: The Prius is a million-seller. Electric drive is also possible without a battery: hydrogen and oxygen generate TO GROWTH electricity in a fuel cell that drives the car. In 2003, a Mercedes A-class F-Cell is the world’s rst fuel cell pas- senger car to go into small-scale production. Since 2015, Toyota has produced the hydrogen model, Mirai. Electric mobility means drive from a xed electricity supply – trams, trains, trolley buses. But gasoline-power comes under pressure. The 1972 Club of Rome “limits to growth”: Finite- ness of resources. 1974 oil crisis. The industry responds with rudimentary electric drives: A BMW 1602 Electro for the 1972 Olympics puts out just 43.5 hp. In a fleet test, the e-Transporters from Mercedes and VW cover only 60 to 80 kilometers. And the electric models of , Mercedes and VW in a large-scale project on the German island of Rügen are based on existing cars. This is the wrong path.

 MOTORSPORT

The milestones of electric mobility in racing: In July 2009, the rst victory for a McLaren-Mercedes with hy- brid drive in Formula 1. In June 2012, the rst Audi win with diesel-electric drive at Le Mans. In September 2014, FIA Formula E is launched as the rst race series with electric drive. Schae£ler is one of the pioneers with the ABT Schae£ler Audi Sport team. June 2015 heralds the rst overall victory of Rhys Millen’s electric race car against petrol-powered vehicles at Pikes Peak. September 2016: World record for electric drive by FAST Venturi with 549 kph in Bonneville.

SCHAEFFLER IN JAPAN MOBILITY FOR ON COURSE FOR GROWTH Schaeler Japan Co., Ltd was established in 2006 as a merger of the two Schaeler brands, INA and FAG, represented in Japan. Schaeler has been on course for growth there ever since. In 2010, a Japanese research center was established and in May 2015, a new, large research and development center was opened in Yokohama, which is planned to be expanded from its current headcount of about 250 to 500 employees by 2020 – including engineers for the up-and-coming market of electric TOMORROW mobility. Schaeler is currently represented at six locations in Japan: Yokohama, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya and Sendai. For Schaeler, innovation has been part of its corporate DNA since the foundation of the company. It is based on lateral and interdisciplinary thinking

Schaeler is known as an innovative leader delivering a wealth of technologies that make automobiles more fuel-ecient, environmen- tally friendly, and safer, as well as products for trains, aircra, wind turbines, and many oth- er industrial sectors. Schaeler can be found wherever things are in motion – and motion also means mobility. The challenges facing Mobility for tomorrow Under this concept, mobility of the future are immense. That’s why Schaeler concentrates on four focus areas: Schaeler is committed to its holistic “mobil- environmentally friendly drive systems, urban mobility, interurban mobility and energy chain ity for tomorrow” concept, geared to nding sustainable solutions for the world of tomor- row.
