February 28, 2023: -On Monday, the BMW Group launched a pilot fleet of hydrogen vehicles. The German automotive colossus’s CEO called hydrogen “the absent piece in the jigsaw when it is related to emission-free mobility.”
The BMW iX5 Hydrogen, using fuel cells started by Toyota and has a top speed of over 112 miles per hour, is being put jointly at a facility in Munich.
The car stores hydrogen in dual tanks and can be filled up in almost four minutes. BMW stated that it has an area of 313 miles in the Harmonised Light vehicle Test Procedure cycle.
It enters service in 2023, although the rollout scale is small, with “100 cars” to have experimented for trial and its destination for target groups.
BMW Chair Oliver Zipse stated that hydrogen was “a versatile energy place that has a key part to play in the energy transition process and, therefore, in climate protection.”
Hydrogen is “one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies.”
“We should use this potential also to accelerate the transformation of the mobility sector,” Zipse said.
“Hydrogen is the remaining piece in the jigsaw when it comes to emission-free mobility.”
“One technology alone will not be done to enable climate-neutral mobility worldwide.”
As explained by the International Energy Agency, like a “versatile energy holder,” hydrogen has a variety of different apps and can be deployed in sectors like industry and transport.
BMW is one of many automotive companies continuing to look into the potential of hydrogen. Different include Toyota and Hyundai, while smaller businesses like Riversimple also work on hydrogen-powered cars.
Hydrogen has its backers, but high-profile figures from the automotive industry must be aware.
We provide the insights on leaders who are responsible for taking their organization to new heights, all the while bringing together a group of talented individuals.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
By late 202, the alarm bells were just starting to ring. Researchers discovered that Russian spies had months earlier burrowed deep into the networks of several U.S. federal networks. The spies, working for Russia’s foreign intelligence service, had first targeted SolarWinds, an IT company whose software helps to remotely manage the networks of thousands of businesses, Fortune 500 organizations and federal government agencies.
In the fast-paced world of supply chain management, the pursuit of efficiency is akin to chasing a mythical beast – elusive yet immensely …
