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

Attention e-mobility 2.0, now China is in demand! BYD, Almonty Industries, VW, and Mercedes in focus
Even though e-mobility has stuttered in Germany since the scrapping of the environmental bonus, the production of new vehicles "Made in China" is running at full speed. Manufacturers are still trying to pack more range, durability and stability into the units. Conceptually, electric vehicles only make sense if inexpensive electricity can be used for charging. Fast charging stations on the highway cost between 55 and 95 cents per kilowatt hour; Tesla charges an average of 43 cents but asks external customers to pay up to 64 cents. Without the tax disadvantage, optimized diesel vehicles have the same operating costs as electric vehicles. Where the combustion engine clearly scores points, however, is in winter operation, independence, and range. What is more, the battery in an electric vehicle needs to be replaced after 10 years, while the diesel engine has only just warmed up with 150,000 km of performance. Where are the opportunities for shareholders?

Attention: DAX dividends! Car stocks pay out: Mercedes-Benz, MS Industrie, VW and BMW
The DAX 40 index has gone into reverse gear in recent weeks. In addition to the high-tech and artificial intelligence sectors, the multi-month bull market also included defense stocks in the interim phase. There is no real reason to celebrate among automotive stocks, as an expected decline in GDP also means reduced household budgets. This translates to fewer new vehicle sales, with many electric vehicles produced in bulk occupying important showroom space from dealers for months. The pain is increasing, and those looking to sell vehicles find themselves in ruinous discount battles with cheap Chinese imports. However, there appears to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon: interest rate cuts! They are expected in the second half of the year. We analyze the current situation.

Watch out: DAX record chase! Automotive stocks in the fast lane: Mercedes-Benz, Globex Mining, VW and Tesla
The DAX 40 index is chasing from one high to the next, surpassing the 18,400 mark yesterday. In addition to artificial intelligence, it is primarily high-tech and defense stocks that are moving the market. The automotive stocks are still in the doldrums, as an expected decline in GDP also means smaller household budgets. Nothing is worse for the industry than the postponement of new car purchases until next year. The stockpiles are getting bigger, and dealers are plunging into desperate discount battles. However, the market is changing noticeably. Currently, there are clear buying candidates; we analyze the current situation.

BYD, Globex Mining, Mercedes-Benz shares: The energy transition is picking up speed with these companies
BYD in China is regarded as innovative and successful with its wide range of models and brands. The Company has become one of the top ten car manufacturers and is the global leader in the production of new energy vehicles (NEVs). In the fourth quarter of last year, BYD even overtook Tesla with over half a million electric vehicles sold. BYD is now pushing further into international markets in order to maintain its growth trajectory. The increasing demand for electrification also means a higher demand for the corresponding raw materials. Globex Mining is well positioned in this regard; with 247 different projects and over 40 years of industry experience, investors benefit from the unbeatable expertise of the experienced management team. Mercedes-Benz leadership has reason to rejoice. The figures from the last financial year are solid, and the salaries of the Executive Board have been generously increased. Who is really picking up speed now?

Porsche, First Hydrogen, Mercedes-Benz: Which shares offer growth potential in the transformation phase towards clean energy?
The German automotive industry is facing drastic changes, one of the biggest transformation phases in history. The "Green Deal" is forcing car manufacturers to completely overhaul their requirements and supply chains. Porsche announces the introduction of hybrid drive in its popular 911 models, and the Macan is set to be offered entirely as an electric vehicle. However, CEO Blume links the transition to an important condition. Forecasts by McKinsey show that clean hydrogen will account for a significant part of the global energy supply by 2030. In this context, First Hydrogen is playing a decisive role in the development of zero-emission transportation solutions. First Hydrogen is developing emission-free vehicles and green hydrogen production in Vancouver, Montreal and London. In partnership with AVL Powertrain and Ballard Power Systems Inc., the Company is working on hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles with a range of over 630 km. Around 8,000 Mercedes-Benz employees in Germany are currently experiencing the fact that the green transformation can be painful. We provide the details.

E-mobility versus combustion engines: Tesla and BYD stumble, Mercedes-Benz and Globex Mining in Vogue!
The Tesla plant in Brandenburg is discharging polluted wastewater into the canals. Permissible limits for phosphorus and nitrogen are exceeded by up to six times. Elon Musk has not yet reacted to the accusations, as he is busy planning the expansion of his production facility. If the authorities were to take action here, the plant could also be subject to a production stop until the harmful sources are eliminated. Once again, environmental protection and the climate debate clash with the self-interest of foreign producers seemingly not on the radar of existing EU regulations. The water debate is nothing new. Since the plant in Grünheide went into operation, local communities have had to contend with a drop in the groundwater level because the plant draws an impermissible amount of water. For those finding Tesla unsympathetic due to these issues, look for other opportunities in the automotive sector!
