The mobility transition is fundamentally changing the regulatory and economic framework of the automotive, energy and infrastructure sectors. Companies across the entire value chain are faced with complex legal issues relating to electric mobility, hydrogen technologies, e-fuels, charging infrastructure and digital mobility services. Of particular significance are the EU Regulation on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (AFIR), the EU Battery Regulation, the German Act on Electric Mobility Infrastructure in Buildings (GEIG), product safety requirements, energy and metrology legislation, as well as data protection and competition law provisions. Added to this are ongoing regulatory developments within the framework of the European Green Deal and the decarbonisation of the transport sector.
