The Vision of the APEM:
- Raising awareness and considering the possibility of turning the industry towards the E-mobility sector – Aware of the fact that the electrification of the transport sector opens up new opportunities for companies that deal with technologies related to transport sector, this way possibilities of new business models for companies could be presented.
- Environmentally “clean” cities – by using electric vehicles and the electrification of transport in general, the emission of polluting substances and gases into the air is reduced to a minimum. This allows us to achieve higher air quality, less noise and less greenhouse gas emissions, which additionally contributes to the national plans for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
- More energy efficient transport – The use of electric transport significantly reduces the use of energy sources due to highly efficient e-engines. By using the e-power drive trains, compared to internal combustion engines, the need for energy is reduced by 50-80%;
- Energy independence – By using e-cars and transport in general, the dependence of both our region and the country on imported energy sources (gas and oil) is reduced.
The Mission of the APEM is to promote the widespread use of electromobility in general and electric vehicles.
The APEM aims at:
- Instigating technical and technological improvements to optimize existing products with the aim of meeting market requirements.
- Encouraging the introduction of advanced techniques is likely to improve vehicle performance significantly and result in the rational utilization of energy sources.
- Initiating and, whenever possible, coordinating research and development projects.
- Organizing symposia, discussions and conferences, like EVS and AEC.
- Facilitating studies by means of study committees.
- Debunking myths about electromobility.
- Collaborating with other national/regional bodies with which it has common interests.
- Finding the necessary financial resources.
- Undertaking all other activities relevant to the object of the Association.
- Providing information to political authorities and any other decision-makers.
The APEM acts as a facilitator for interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge dissemination, and advancement in electromobility. By leveraging the autonomy granted to faculty within the integrated higher education institution, the network aims to contribute significantly to the success of the PELMOB project and promote the vital transition to electromobility in the region.
