PRESS STATEMENT Securing jobs is the central issue

Jörg Hofmann: “Against the backdrop of the ecological and digital transformation and the crisis looming over the automotive and supplier industries, the National Mobility Platform (NPM) has developed valuable recommendations. Of central importance is the question of how to secure tomorrow’s jobs. The NPM advocates for industrial and labor market policies to support this technological transition. In addition to an active industrial policy for the key components of tomorrow’s mobility, it proposes expanding training opportunities for employees within companies and in regional competence hubs, amending the Qualification Opportunities Act to this end, and combining short-time work with training. If the transportation transition is to succeed, the technical prerequisites must be in place. This includes expanding the charging infrastructure to accelerate the ramp-up of electric mobility and the development of alternative propulsion systems and fuels, such as fuel cells and e-fuels.”
