🌍 FEST Auto Technology: Blending Global Vision with Local Adaptation 🏙️ At FEST Auto Technology, we pride ourselves on our global presence, but our true strength lies in understanding and adapting to local nuances. Our electric light commercial vehicles (e-LCVs) aren't just designed for the global market; they are tailored to meet the unique needs of each community we serve.   🔍 Case in Point: Our Breakthrough in France Recently, in France, our e-LCVs have made a substantial impact. A local business, LAJ Transports, is transitioning their entire fleet to FEST e-LCVs, leading to remarkable efficiency improvements. They massively reduced their carbon footprint while increasing delivery speed and reliability, proving that our vehicles are not only environmentally friendly but also adept at enhancing operational efficiency. This success story is a testament to our commitment to local adaptation. By understanding the specific challenges and requirements of Paris, we customized our e-LCV solutions, ensuring they were the perfect fit for LAJ Transports urban logistics needs. 📈 Global Reach, Local Impact Our journey across various regions has taught us that success lies in balancing global scalability with local relevancy. As we continue to expand, our focus remains on being a globally recognized brand that deeply resonates at a local level. ➡️ Your Thoughts?

"Maybe in your country you can drive an electric car smoothly on the countryside, but not here." That's what I heard from a car rental agent in France, as I thought I was about to take an electric car for a spin outside Paris. It got me thinking about the electric vehicle (EV) landscape back in Sweden.   🤔 It's fascinating to see how different countries are adapting to the EV revolution. The latest EY Mobility Consumer Index (MCI) 2024, which reflects the opinions of over 19,000 people from 28 countries, shows a shift in Swedish consumer preferences from fully electric vehicles to plug-in hybrids. It seems that practical considerations are at the forefront of this change.   🚗💨 In Sweden, drivers are taking a closer look at the economics of owning an EV, including maintenance and the long-term performance of batteries. While the environmental benefits of electric cars are still a significant draw, the reality of everyday use and cost is leading some to reconsider their options.   🔍 The MCI (Mobility Consumer Index) 2024 provides a snapshot of these global mobility trends and raises some interesting questions:   💡 How are consumer preferences evolving in the face of new technology and market developments? 🔌 What's driving the renewed interest in plug-in hybrids? 🌍 How are international brands influencing the choices consumers make in the EV space?   If you’re interested in the findings from the survey, you can find it here: https://lnkd.in/daVPz-WF   Or, you can do what I typically would do, and reach out to my expert colleagues in the field, Ulrika Eklöf or Martin Cardell 👑   Oh, and by the way, no, the car in the picture is, unfortunately, not the one I ended up driving, but it’s lovely, isn’t it? 🐞 #ShapingTheFutureWithConfidence #MCI #EVtrends

🌍 Today, I had a firsthand experience of the pros and cons of intermodular mobility, a concept I firmly believe is crucial for the transformation of our mobility. Intermodular mobility is all about seamlessly integrating various modes of transport - from line services and on-demand offerings like sharing concepts to personal vehicles like cars or bikes. 🚗 My journey to Kassel today was a real-life example of the challenges and triumphs of this system. I faced an unexpected setback when my pre-booked taxi through Freenow disappeared from the app, leaving me stranded outside Ingolstadt. Thankfully, my wife came to the rescue, but it highlighted a key issue: reliability. 🚄 Once on the train, however, the experience was near perfect. The train was punctual, and with a travel time of under 3 hours from Ingolstadt to Kassel, it was unbeatable compared to driving. Not to mention, it gave me the opportunity to write this LinkedIn post! The only hitch was the spotty network at 250 km/h, which disrupted my plan to make phone calls. 🤔 For me, this journey underlined the importance of reliability and swift, comprehensive support when there’s a glitch in the mobility chain. It's not just about speed; it's the assurance of not being left stranded and arriving on time that makes intermodular solutions appealing. 💬 What about you? Why do you use (or not use) intermodular mobility solutions? #Mobility #SustainableTransport #IntermodularMobility #SmartMobility #FutureofMobility #cassmm Image Source: https://lnkd.in/d4H6jPS7
