BEM member companies
Members application
The Federal eMobility Association networks all stakeholders from science and research, business, politics and the media, promotes public awareness of electromobility through numerous events and advocates the necessary infrastructural changes.
»Involving our members in a wide range of BEM campaigns, trade fair events, publications and projects is therefore one of our most important tasks in day-to-day political business. In addition, we ensure that our members network optimally with each other in order to develop new cooperation and business models beyond industry boundaries for a timely, visible New Mobility,« says Christian Heep, BEM Board Member.
The BEM’s tasks include improving the legal framework conditions for the expansion of electromobility as a sustainable and forward-looking mobility concept and enforcing equal opportunities in the switch to electromobility.
The electromobility sector will be one of the strong growth industries, not only in terms of creating and maintaining jobs. It is essential to face the challenges of new mobility together and with greater vigour in order to ensure a sustainable upturn in the entire market environment. This task requires the active participation of Germany’s most innovative companies, strong personalities and the co-operative interaction of all stakeholders from science, research, business, politics, the media, associations and institutions, as well as the commitment of every single citizen who wants to work for New Mobility. BEM membership combines the social, economic and ecological challenges with the opportunities of eMobility and sustainability development and anchors them in society in the long term.
This requires your commitment and support…!
