This battery technology is conquering the West: Mercedes-Benz, BYD, First Phosphate
The days when Chinese companies imitated German products and even copied them brazenly are long gone. At best, Chinese companies are still borrowing from German products in terms of design. When it comes to the technology itself, the Chinese have long been leaders - especially when it comes to batteries for electric cars. BYD, for example, has been producing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for a long time and uses them in its cars. Now the technology is spilling over into the West. We show what opportunities could arise from this.

Mercedes-Benz, Canadian North Resources, Varta - Shortage of battery resources
Electromobility and the energy transition are essential to creating a more sustainable future. However, we need raw materials such as copper, nickel, cobalt and lithium to achieve these goals. These resources are an obstacle for many companies. Therefore, car companies are trying to secure access to these scarce resources to secure supplies for their production. In some cases, they are even developing their own batteries. The best example is Volkswagen, which wants to build 6 battery factories in Europe. So today, we look at Mercedes-Benz, analyze a possible supplier with Canadian North Resources and conclude with Varta, Germany's largest battery manufacturer.

Copper is becoming more and more interesting: Mercedes-Benz, Orestone Mining, Plug Power
The price of copper is also known among investors as "Dr Copper". The reason: the price of copper predicts economic crises more reliably than an economist and can be considered an indicator of economic activity. Currently, the demand for copper is exceptionally high because of its role as a jack-of-all-trades among metals. We explain which companies are dependent on copper and who can provide supplies.

E-car surprise in China: Mercedes-Benz, BYD, Grid Metals
E-cars? Yes, please! At least, that is the case for Mercedes CEO Ola Källenius. He sees his company clearly focused on the electric drive - regardless of technology openness. This seems to be paying off at Mercedes: In the first quarter, the Swabians sold almost twice as many e-cars as in the previous year. But how far can this growth go? What do the absolute figures say? We make the comparison and outline investment opportunities.

Goodbye banks - the Greentech rally is on: Shares of BYD, Canadian North, Mercedes Group and BMW are in focus!
Blunt, clear text - that is what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had promised, in case governments still did not get it. The latest "State of the World Report" is clear. Hesitation is a thing of the past. The message: action is needed now and must be taken worldwide. This is the conclusion of the so-called synthesis report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was presented yesterday in Interlaken, Switzerland. Leading scientists have spent the past week wrestling with more than 650 government representatives to lay things out as transparently as possible. The conclusion is quickly formulated: Full throttle for the Greentech industry!

Armaments and e-mobility! Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Mercedes-Benz - Rare raw materials in demand as never before!
The climate and energy transition are taking their toll. Long approval phases, too little exploration and a lack of investment capital have caused the supply of raw materials to decline over the past 10 years. These deficits are increasingly showing up as a problem for industry. In copper alone, there is a USD 100 billion investment deficit. In the EU, it is estimated that there is an investment backlog of EUR 300 billion to even come close to achieving the proclaimed climate targets. To reach climate targets, copper, nickel, lithium, zinc, special metals like tungsten, and rare earths are needed. Which values should you bet on now?

Inflation picks up again! Here is what the figures mean for Mercedes-Benz, Power Nickel and Varta
Inflation rates in the US remain high. Consumer prices rose more than expected in January. For investors, this has several meanings: On the one hand, the spectre of recession is likely to have been dispelled; on the other hand, the US Federal Reserve could continue to turn the interest rate screw. What does this mean for innovative companies involved in the mega-trend of electrification? We provide the answers!

Are E-cars facing the end? Mercedes-Benz, dynaCERT, NEL
What constitutes mobility is changing. There are also many mobility terms. It is increasingly difficult for automakers to position themselves. Except for BMW, all major manufacturers are now focusing exclusively on battery-powered e-cars. The trend is even so intact for decision-makers at major corporate headquarters that type designations introduced for e-cars are facing extinction. But not all automakers are convinced that e-cars are the way to go.

Altech Advanced Materials, Mercedes-Benz Group, NIO - Electric mobility on the verge of a revolution
Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular as a sustainable mode of transportation. As technology improves, this type of vehicle is becoming more attractive to investors looking for an environmentally friendly option. However, some important issues still need to be addressed before electric cars become a natural alternative for most people. Chief issues are battery charging times, limited range, and safety. Today, we look at Altech Advanced Materials, a company that has developed a solution to the problems, and look at the current status of two automakers.
