Environmental Pollution

One of the sources of air pollution is road traffic.

Polluted air in road traffic

Smog, particulate matter, greenhouse gases: people all over the world already suffer the consequences of mobility that is out of control. The goal must be to get on top of air pollution.

Blue sky and sunshine. It invites you to go for a walk or visit the café around the corner. However, in many cities, it is now becoming a health hazard to do so. Automotive exhaust gases cause pollution that exceeds exposure limits and contaminates the air that inhabitants of major cities breathe.

Electromobility: Ways to Greater Range

Increasing the battery capacity is not enough to get electric cars to travel farther. ZF is making numerous adjustments to the driveline to get maximum mileage out of a battery charge.

When air makes people sick

The WHO is sounding the alarm: 9 in 10 people worldwide are exposed to excessively high levels of pollutants in the air. Countries with weak economies are badly affected in particular.

In New Delhi, sports events in the winter are unthinkable. Back in December 2017, a cricket match between India and Sri Lanka had to be interrupted because the guest team fell victim to severe nausea. That day, the fine dust pollution exceeded the WHO exposure limit by a factor of 12.

You see a cross with many cars. It looks as if the vehicles are driving in a mess.

Exposure limits exceeded

Exposure limits exceeded

New Delhi is not an exception in this regard. According to the WHO, air quality is critical in almost all metropolises in newly industrialized and developing countries. Even in industrialized countries, more than half of all cities exceed the emission limit values. The impact on people’s health is very serious. Smog can cause cardiovascular and respiratory disease or cancer.
More than
90 %
of all people worldwide are breathing heavily polluted air.
