  Hidden Hi-Tech

  Mobility is one of the biggest topics of our time. Around 8 billion people worldwide want to be mobile. Almost 4 billion passengers fly every year. More than a billion cars drive on the roads. At the same time, digitization is radically changing entire industries. How do mobility experts deal with this? A good example is the "hidden high tech" such as coating and 3D printing. Go Green shows how important even less well-known technologies are for the mobility of the future in view of climate change.
