Aurélien de Meaux – EIP Summit 2024

At the EIP Summit 2024 Aurélien de Meaux, CEO of Electra, emphasized the connection between the electrification of European passenger transport and Europe’s political independence. Unlike the US, Europe will never have enough of its own oil for all the cars on the continent, de Meaux said, putting it at the mercy of petroleum exporters. The French CEO also addressed the impact of transport on carbon dioxide emissions. “Transport is responsible for 30% of CO2 emissions in the European Union. Besides living, this sector is the only one that has not seen declining emissions since 1990,” he said.
