NEW YORK (June 12, 2024) – The unmistakable futuristic hum from passing vehicles on the road signals a
new era in transportation and mobility. The automotive industry is transforming with new ownership models,
cutting-edge connectivity, and innovative advanced electrified powertrains.
But with change, comes questions: why are automakers focusing so much on electrified powertrains? What does
this shift, marked by the futuristic hum, really mean for consumers, and is this transformation really necessary?
At the core, it comes down to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. CO2 is essential to life on earth, but too much
poses a threat. When in balance, CO2 helps keep planet Earth warm enough to sustain life; however, an
imbalance can lead to a much warmer average temperature, which can lead to bringing forward the predicted
results of climate change.
