Germany’s electric state
Tesla’s Gigafactory in Grünheide has created well over 10,000 jobs in the production of electrically powered vehicles in Brandenburg within just one year. And the growth continues.
Brandenburg is also home to numerous supplier companies that produce parts and components for e-mobility and thus significantly strengthen the value chain for the mobility of the future.
The production of electrically powered vehicles in Brandenburg includes more than just road traffic. Brandenburg is also developing into the new hub of modern mobility for rail and air travel.
APUS is working on hybrid-electric aircraft propulsion in Strausberg; Stadler is developing battery systems for rechargeable multiple units in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), to replace diesel trains on routes that are not fully electrified; and Mercedes-Benz is producing the eSprinter pickup in Ludwigsfelde.
This is the beginning of a new era of mobility – with great significance for the entire industrial landscape.

Lead in Electric Drive
Mercedes-Benz is also building the eSprinter in Ludwigsfelde. Alongside Charleston in South Carolina (USA) and Düsseldorf, Brandenburg will then be one of the three sites worldwide where the Daimler Group is underlining its “lead in electric drive”, i.e. it’s leadership aim in electric mobility in the vans segment.
Around 50,000 of the so-called open model series of the conventional Sprinter (chassis, flatbed, traction head) roll off the line each year.
„By building the eSprinter here in Ludwigsfelde we’ll be embracing a new technology that will secure our factory’s future.“

Stadler Rail and German Aerospace Center

The railway engineering specialist Stadler and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) are developing a battery system for rechargeable multiple units as part of the MOSENAS (“Modular scalable energy storage for sustainable local rail passenger transport”) collaborative project.
The MOSENAS collaborative project is creating a new energy storage system.
The configuration of the energy storage system takes into account the track-side and railway operating requirements, as well as the available charging time windows. The aim is to optimize the performance, energy content, weight and installation space of the energy storage system.
The system is tested under real operating conditions on a test vehicle.
With our new battery system, which we are developing together with DLR, we not only want to optimize the expected service life of such storage systems, but also make it possible to use them on railway lines where battery-electric operation was previously uneconomical or not possible for technical reasons.
