Mercedes-Benz, dynaCERT, BYD – Crisis or opportunity: the transformation of the automotive industry

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • Electromobility

The German automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation that is accompanied by significant challenges. The industry is struggling with declining sales figures, job losses, and an uncertain future. Last year, demand for electric vehicles unexpectedly fell. In addition, economic difficulties, particularly due to the weakening Chinese market, have led to a decline in sales. Nevertheless, reducing emissions remains a key concern, with a focus on electrification, technological innovation, and the circular economy. The industry is trying to strike a balance between economic stability and environmental responsibility.

Environmental funding is back, now 100% with e-mobility stocks! VW, Mercedes, Prismo Metals, BYD and NIO

  • Mining
  • Commodities
  • Electromobility

E-mobility has become a political issue in Europe because, despite the punitive tariffs imposed, thousands of new vehicles reach the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Hamburg every week. Prices are up to 30% lower than comparable EU models. Due to the current sales crisis, the German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs visited the crisis-ridden VW Group. There, he assured that he wanted to help and promised new funding for electric vehicles. However, it is not that simple because subsidies require the approval of the EU. This week, Habeck has been invited to the crisis summit of the automotive industry. This could represent the turning point for the struggling automotive industry. Valuations in the sector are at their lowest in years. Where are the opportunities for investors?

100% gains with auto stocks! BYD and dynaCERT are already on the launch pad. Are VW, BMW and Mercedes low enough yet?

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • Electromobility

Growing market shares through progress and innovation. While Chinese e-mobility is vehemently pushing into Europe, local manufacturers face a strategic dilemma. After all, combustion engines are currently still in demand, but what will things look like in 10 years? European car manufacturers currently have to pursue an expensive dual strategy in order to generate revenue. This means that they must not lose pace with developments in the electric vehicle sector while the combustion engine business continues to run at full throttle. While BMW will start series production of fuel cell cars in 2028, the Canadian hydrogen specialist dynaCERT is already in full swing. Where are the opportunities for resourceful investors?

E-mobility stutters, 200% possible with AI! VW, Mercedes, Prismo Metals, and Super Micro Computer in focus!

E-mobility has become a political issue in Europe. This is because the EU is smilingly having to approve imports from China, which are around 25% cheaper. Although punitive tariffs came into force last week, they also affected German models produced in Asia that are intended for the European market. In the long term, trade wars will always have a negative impact on the economy because consumers remain uncertain, delaying new car purchases. Local dealers are overwhelmed with showroom stock delivered directly from factories. Overall, this puts additional pressure on an already struggling economy, and after Varta, there will likely be more cases of restructuring in the sector. We take a closer look at this challenging sector and uncover interesting opportunities!

RWE, dynaCERT, Mercedes-Benz: Energy of the future - Hydrogen vs Electric

  • Hydrogen
  • greenhydrogen
  • Electromobility
  • Energy

The energy transition is at the center of the strategies of RWE, dynaCERT, and Mercedes-Benz, each with different emphases. The energy company RWE is driving forward its hydrogen strategy with billions in investment and state subsidies. The Company plans to build electrolysers and hydrogen storage facilities, which, according to its IR Factbook, are the most promising components of its energy mix in the future. dynaCERT and its portfolio company Cipher Neutron are also focusing on innovative hydrogen solutions. Its AEM electrolysis technology, which is being researched in collaboration with Simon Fraser University, promises more efficient and cost-effective methods of hydrogen production. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, is struggling with the weaknesses of electric batteries. A severe fire involving an EV-Mercedes in an underground garage required over 8 hours of firefighting efforts, damaging 108 other vehicles and significantly damaging its reputation in one of its key markets...

The world keeps turning! Caution with VW, Mercedes, Altech Advanced Materials, Plug Power, and Nel ASA!

  • Batteries
  • Electromobility
  • renewableenergies
  • Hydrogen

E-mobility and the upstream battery market are making headlines. Following the abolition of tax incentives, the topic of "electric mobility" has to face up to the harsh market conditions. Hydrogen is also competing, but it is currently still far too expensive to be economically successful. This leaves us with battery technologies, which are used both in energy storage systems and in vehicles. The near bankruptcy of Varta shows how tough the market has become here. There is plenty of room for innovative ideas! Altech Advanced Materials is making waves in German engineering with solid concepts. The market eagerly awaits the first mid-sized products, while many other market players must first justify their billion-dollar valuations. We take a closer look.

BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, Mercedes-Benz - Electromobility is being driven forward despite all the prophecies of doom

  • Batteries
  • BatteryMetals
  • Electromobility

Electromobility is becoming increasingly important against the backdrop of climate change and sustainability. Electric drives offer a clean, efficient alternative to combustion engines and reduce CO₂ emissions. Consumers and investors are showing increasing interest in this technology. Key companies such as the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD, Altech Advanced Materials, which specializes in innovative battery materials, and Mercedes-Benz, with its EQ series in the premium segment, are leading the way and significantly shaping the dynamic electromobility market. This is reason enough to take a closer look at these three stocks.

Innovation meets tradition: How Mercedes-Benz Group, Desert Gold, and Amazon are shaping the future

  • Mining
  • Gold
  • Commodities
  • Electromobility
  • Retail

The global economy is facing a variety of challenges and opportunities. While vehicle manufacturers such as Mercedes are adapting their strategies, new opportunities are opening up in other sectors. Mercedes is expanding the combustion engine range of its S-Class and offering models with both a petrol engine and an electric battery. The German Association of the Automotive Industry is concerned about the EU's punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports. It predicts that the impending trade conflict will intensify, particularly with regard to rare earth metals. In these uncertain times, it is all the more important to add some gold to the portfolio as a hedge. One candidate with high growth potential is the exploration company Desert Gold, which is investigating an outstanding area with over 1 million ounces of gold resources in Mali, Africa. Those who prefer data to new gold will be pleased with Amazon's latest strategic move. The Seattle-based company has not only brought on board a smart AI leader but also the entire team along with AI. Where is an investment worthwhile?

After the election, buy a combustion engine now? Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Globex Mining and BYD on the test track

  • Electromobility
  • Batteries

The crushing defeat of the green camp in the EU elections has caused a stir in the automotive industry. Will the ban on combustion engines be overturned in favour of a general openness to technology? It is well known that the best conventional vehicles come from Germany, and they are demonstrably no more harmful to the climate than current e-vehicles. Voters have finally lifted the green veil, and the doctrine of the know-it-alls is now in retreat. From a climate perspective, investing in battery storage systems makes sense, but they do not necessarily have to be installed in vehicles. How can investors benefit from the current situation?
