Mercedes-Benz, 123fahrschule, BYD – Between crisis and recovery
Electromobility in Germany is in crisis, while other markets, especially China, are experiencing strong growth. In 2024, new registrations of electric vehicles in Germany have fallen by more than 26%. The reasons for this include the phasing out of state subsidies, high costs, and a limited range of affordable models. Despite this, demand for driving licenses is growing in Germany – a sign of an increasing need for individual mobility despite high costs. The Chinese market is showing enormous momentum, with electric and plug-in hybrids accounting for over 50% of the market, supported by price reductions and political incentives. We take a look at two leading vehicle manufacturers and how 123fahrschule can benefit from the driving license boom.

Nel ASA, First Hydrogen, Volkswagen – Hydrogen could save the European automotive industry
The European automotive industry is at a crossroads: Amid the transition to zero-emission drivetrains and growing competitive pressure from China, manufacturers are looking for technological alternatives beyond battery-based solutions. Hydrogen propulsion could play a key role here. Particularly in applications such as heavy-duty commercial vehicles or long-distance mobility, hydrogen offers advantages that push BEVs (battery electric vehicles) to their limits. In addition, the technology enables a diversification of the European drive system landscape and reduces dependence on scarce raw materials such as lithium or cobalt.

Super Micro Computers, F3 Uranium, MicroStrategy – Why technologies like AI are shaping our energy future
Data centers for artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrencies are driving global energy consumption higher, even as the world faces the challenge of climate change. Technologies such as Bitcoin mining and AI applications are extremely energy-intensive, and demand for them is expected to increase significantly by 2030. In this context, nuclear energy is gaining importance as a virtually CO₂-free power source. However, the downside is that the demand for uranium to fuel reactors is growing rapidly, while supply remains limited. Experts are predicting a new bull cycle in the uranium market – a development that could have a lasting impact not only on investors but also on the energy transition.

Commerzbank, Thunder Gold, Plug Power – What happens after the US election?
After Donald Trump's commanding victory in the US election, the financial world faces a new era of economic transformation. In the midst of this changing political landscape, the markets are clearly identifying winners and losers. If the first term is anything to go by, banks will experience a boom due to deregulation measures and tax incentives, while the renewable energy sector will face new challenges. The rally in the price of gold has been slowed for the time being by a stronger dollar. On the other hand, interest rates continue to fall, making gold investments more attractive again. The return of Trump's economic policy agenda promises not only opportunities but also risks for sustainable investments. We look at one candidate from each area.
