We at magility are starting the new year 2025 with a lot of energy and enthusiasm! Together with our customers, partners and the entire team, we are looking forward to exciting projects, pioneering innovations and many inspiring encounters. But before we turn our full attention to the future, let’s take a look back at the past year.
A look back at 2024: successful projects and valuable milestones
2024 was a year that brought us exciting challenges and outstanding projects. We would particularly like to highlight our work on the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) simulation tool for the electrification of a truck fleet, which impressively demonstrated how practical and efficient sustainable mobility solutions can be realised. These and many other projects have not only helped our customers in the mobility sector, but have also shown how important it is to work together towards a more sustainable future.
Last year, it became clear once again how important collaboration with start-ups is for the progress of established companies. In a world characterised by technological advances and new business models, start-ups in particular offer fresh ideas, agility and a spirit of innovation that have the potential to transform entire industries. Whether in the fields of artificial intelligence, sustainable technologies or digital platforms – partnerships with young, dynamic companies have not only produced exciting projects, but also paved the way for long-term innovation.
Startups from the Magility network on the road to success
In our experience, most start-ups have a strong technical understanding of their product. However, they often lack a clear strategy on how to efficiently tap into the target market and realise the maximum benefit there.
With our expertise in the area of go-to-market, we support start-ups in transforming their technology into concrete market successes. One example from 2024 is an Israeli start-up that we have successfully placed in a promising market and with which we are now in the proof-of-concept phase.
We also supported a local German start-up that is highly complementary to the Israeli AI start-up. By networking the two companies, we were able to develop clear unique selling points (USPs) in their respective market positioning. Our extensive industrial contact network enables us to open initial doors for reference customers and drive forward the implementation of the identified go-to-market strategies in a targeted manner.
The outlook for 2025: trade fairs and events
This year, we will once again intensify our personal meetings and presence at industry events. Our agenda is already packed with exciting trade fairs, colloquia and events.
Here are some of the highlights where you can meet us:
- Corporate Mobility Conference (CMXC): We look forward to talking to you about the future of mobility.
- Power2Drive Europe in Munich: In May, we will be an exhibitor at Smarter E Europe and are looking forward to exciting discussions, particularly with fleet managers, on topics such as energy transformation in fleet management.

by Sandro Droese | Nov 29, 2024 | ESG, Future Trends, Market development & Trends
We have already looked at various decarbonisation strategies that pave the way to climate neutrality. Among other things, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement established carbon credits as a useful means of offsetting emissions. Article 6 has recently been expanded: Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement, which was finalised at the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29), offers a promising framework for a global carbon market. This new mechanism opens up new business models and investment opportunities for companies. At the same time, it also harbours risks that need to be carefully weighed up. The increasing demand for carbon emissions in the coming years emphasises the importance of careful consideration of regulatory requirements.
Why the Need for Article 6.4?
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), established under the Kyoto Protocol, was a pioneering effort to promote sustainable development and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, it was criticized in various points, including:
- Lack of Environmental Integrity: Critics have raised concerns regarding the “additionality” of CDM projects, questioning whether these projects are leading to real, measurable, and long-term emission reductions beyond what would have occurred without the CDM
- Limited Scope: The geographical distribution of CDM projects has been skewed, with a majority concentrated in a few countries, leading to debates over the equitable allocation of resources and benefits among developing nations
- Complexity and Bureaucracy: The CDM’s complex rules and procedures hindered its effectiveness and discouraged participation
The new system under Article 6.4 aims to address these issues by establishing a more robust, transparent, and efficient framework for carbon markets.
Following two record years with high demand, the voluntary carbon offset market had a significant set back in 2023. Global economic conditions, regulatory uncertainty, oversupply of credits, shift towards higher quality credits and increased scrutiny and negative media coverage all present challenges for the voluntary carbon markets.
(Ecosystem Marketplace. (May 30, 2024). Annual value of voluntary carbon offset market transactions worldwide from pre-2005 to 2023 (in million U.S. dollars) [Graph]. In Statista. Retrieved November 28, 2024, from https://www.statista.com/statistics/501698/voluntary-carbon-offset-market-transaction-value-worldwide/)
[infobox headline=”At a glance”]
- Article 6.4 creates a new global market for CO2 certificates. This should be more transparent and efficient than previous systems.
- Companies will be given new opportunities to offset emissions. By purchasing CO2 certificates, companies can offset their own emissions.
- The quality of the certificates is to be improved. Article 6.4 lays down stricter rules to ensure that the certificates actually lead to real emission reductions.
- New risks and opportunities arise. The new market offers companies new business opportunities, but also harbours risks such as regulatory uncertainties.
[/infobox]
When Will the New Carbon Credits Be Available?
The exact timeline for the availability of new carbon credits under Article 6.4 is still being determined. However, it is expected that the market will gradually develop over the coming years as countries finalize their domestic regulations and establish the necessary infrastructure.
The Implications for Existing Carbon Credits
The impact of the new carbon credit system on existing credits, such as those issued by Verra, is still unclear. Rules are in place for CDM activities to adapt to the new Article 6.4 mechanism, and project participants had to apply until the end of 2023. Hence for buyers and holders of existing CDM credits there is now an element of uncertainty as the acceptance under article 6.4 is key for future use of CDM credits.
Carbon credit issuing organizations such as Verra and Gold Standard will likely have to adapt their approved methodologies for projects generating carbon credits.
Comparison: Article 6.4 vs. CDM
The Significance for companies purchasing carbon credits
Article 6.4: A new generation of carbon credits
A new generation of Carbon Credits:Article 6.4 certainly has the ambition to provide a new generation of carbon credits which are not tarnished by speculations about the actual additionality of the offsets. Should this be successful, it is likely that these credits will gain in demand. Other organizations issuing carbon credits, such as Verra, have also been faced with criticism much like CDM. Should Article 6.4 prove to address issues undermining the credibility of other carbon credits, e.g. by implementing stricter and stringent acceptance rules by its registry, this is likely to be the more attractive carbon offset in the future if other registries do not change accordingly.
Avoid loss of value of CERs
Holders of CDM Certified emission reductions (CERs = CDM carbon credits), should make sure that their carbon credits will be transferred under Article 6.4. CERs not allowed to be transferred will decrease in value and might not be accepted by customers and other stakeholders.
Wide range of application for the new carbon credits
Article 6.4 credits are to be used by countries, businesses and also individuals aiming to offset carbon emissions. Countries will be able to use the credits to meet their so-called National determined contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement, which determine the effort each country aims to do to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
The credits are meant to be a means to allow financing to flow from countries willing to offset to those countries which are implementing carbon offset/capture projects (usually developing world), thereby removing the need for the bureaucratic bilateral agreements between countries which serve the same purpose today.
A fundamental difference
The fact that countries will be able to use Article 6.4 credits (which is not the case with other voluntary carbon credits) implies a fundamental difference on demand which will translate into higher pricing.
Conclusion & Outlook
The voluntary carbon market has struggled with credibility issues and an unclear regulatory landscape throughout its existence. Policy and regulatory frameworks have been fragmented, operationalisation of comprehensive environmental integrity has been slow, legal clarity on carbon emissions has been lacking, and approaches to delivering market infrastructure have been fragmented and diverse. Article 6.4 is an important step towards a more effective and transparent global carbon market. Companies committed to climate protection should follow developments closely and adapt to the new framework conditions at an early stage.
If Article 6.4 is able to address these issues and restore the credibility of voluntary carbon emissions, the finalisation of Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement at COP 29 could usher in a new era of carbon offsetting.

We at Magility GmbH are firmly convinced that hydrogen does not represent a viable solution for heavy-duty transport. While some experts, including most recently VDA President Hildegard Müller at the IAA Transportation, still view hydrogen as one of the promising pathways to decarbonizing truck fleets, we, after extensive analysis and practical experience – including multiple calculation scenarios and technology studies for the truck fleets of our logistics sector clients – consider this option inefficient and unrealistic. Instead, we are committed to battery-electric truck solutions (BET solutions), which we see as the practical and future-proof path for energy transformation in heavy-duty transport. As early as 2021, our CEO, Dr. Michael Müller, gave interviews on the challenges of hydrogen technologies, demonstrating Magility GmbH’s in-depth engagement with the topic.
The Challenges of Hydrogen
High Costs – We see cost structures as one of the biggest hurdles for hydrogen in heavy-duty transport.
- Production: The production of green hydrogen, which is essential to meet climate targets, is extremely energy-intensive. Since the electricity required for electrolysis comes from renewable energy sources, the production of hydrogen is significantly more expensive than the direct use of electricity in batteries.
- Infrastructure: Building a comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure, including refueling stations and pipelines, involves immense costs. The investments required to create a functioning supply chain are disproportionate to the already existing charging infrastructure for battery-electric vehicles, which continues to be expanded.
- Vehicle Acquisition: Fuel cell vehicles are currently significantly more expensive to purchase than battery-electric trucks. The high acquisition costs and the complicated technology result in a clear disadvantage compared to the increasingly efficient BET (battery electric truck) solutions.
Low Efficiency – For us, the efficiency of hydrogen technologies remains another obstacle.
- Energy Losses During the conversion of electricity into hydrogen and the subsequent reconversion into electrical energy via fuel cells, a large portion of energy is lost. This means that significantly more electricity is required to generate the same amount of energy than with the direct use of batteries.
- Overall Efficiency Battery-electric trucks have a much higher efficiency due to their direct drive with electricity. This makes them a better choice for the future of heavy-duty transport, both from an ecological and economical perspective.
The Advantages of BET Solutions
At Magility, we focus on the continuous improvement of battery technology as the key to decarbonizing heavy-duty transport. The advantages of BET solutions are clear!
Cost Efficiency
- Decreasing Costs: Due to mass production and technological advancements, battery prices are continuously decreasing. Economies of scale are leading to a significant reduction in costs for both vehicles and infrastructure.
- Fast Charging Times: Fast charging systems are developing rapidly, and charging times for battery-electric trucks are becoming shorter and shorter. This progress increasingly debunks the argument that electric trucks are impractical due to long charging times.
Technological Maturity
- Proven Technology: Batteries have already proven themselves in many areas of mobility, from cars to buses to light commercial vehicles. The technological maturity and continuous development make battery-electric trucks a reliable option for fleet operators.
- Multiple Uses: After their use in vehicles, batteries can be used for stationary energy storage. This extends their lifespan and improves their economic sustainability.
Infrastructure Expansion
- Existing Power Grid: Unlike the complex hydrogen infrastructure, there is already a well-established power grid. The expansion of the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is progressing rapidly worldwide, and more and more charging stations are becoming available. With intelligent load management and the use of renewable energies, the power grid can be operated in a stable and sustainable manner.
Conclusion: E-Mobility as a Viable Solution
At Magility, we see hydrogen in heavy-duty transport as an inefficient and cost-intensive solution that does not meet the requirements of this sector. The high costs, low efficiency, and underdeveloped infrastructure are barriers that cannot be overcome in the foreseeable future. In contrast, E-solutions offer a mature, efficient, and economically sustainable way to drive the energy transition in heavy-duty transport. With the continuous development of battery technology and the rapid expansion of charging infrastructure, we see battery-electric mobility as the key to decarbonizing heavy-duty transport.
“Hydrogen remains an illusion for us – battery-electric trucks, on the other hand, represent a realistic and achievable future vision.” – Jürgen Schenk, Senior Advisor, Magility GmbH
Our experts are happy to assist you in mastering the energy transformation in the mobility sector successfully. We support you with professional and holistic planning of your procurement scenarios through dynamic cost analyses. For the conversion and optimization of your fleets, we develop customized decision matrices based on typical usage periods, which will efficiently ease your management efforts.

Electrification plays a crucial role in sustainable wine production, facilitating the modernization of vineyard operations to enhance energy efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and actively support energy transition goals.
In Level 5, focusing on vineyards and grapevines, electrical technologies offer diverse opportunities for optimizing grape varieties, cultivation methods, and maintenance practices to reduce environmental footprint:
Electric technologies contribute to improving energy efficiency by making traditional processes more efficient and resource-friendly. Reducing environmental impact is achieved through the use of eco-friendly electrical devices throughout the wine production cycle.
Areas of application for electrical technologies in viticulture include
Irrigation for sustainable wine production
- Electric pumps enhance irrigation by ensuring efficient and resource-friendly water supply.
- The electrical technology optimizes water usage and contributes to sustainable irrigation practices.
Soil cultivation for sustainable wine production
Electric devices preserve the soil during cultivation by offering specific advantages compared to conventional, fossil-fueled machinery:
- Reduced soil compaction: Electric devices are often lighter than their conventional counterparts. Their lower weight leads to reduced soil compaction, meaning the soil is less densely packed. Reduced compaction promotes better water permeability and facilitates plant root growth.
- Precise control: Electric devices enable more precise control and adjustment during soil cultivation. This precision allows winemakers to better regulate the depth and intensity of soil cultivation, thereby minimizing soil disturbance.
- Pollution prevention: Electric devices do not emit exhaust gases on-site. This reduces air pollution in the work environment and minimizes the deposition of harmful substances in the soil, contributing to healthier soil quality.
The use of electric tools minimizes soil compaction and erosion, thereby improving soil quality in the long term and contributing to sustainable agriculture and wine production.
Pruning for sustainable wine production
Electric devices enable efficient and precise pruning of grapevines, optimizing maintenance processes by:
- Precision and control: Electric devices often offer advanced technologies for precise pruning and control. This allows winemakers to tailor the pruning exactly to the needs of the vines to ensure optimal growth conditions.
- Preservation of vines: Precise pruning prevents healthy parts of the vines from being accidentally removed. This helps maintain the health of the vines and maximizes grape yield and quality.
- Increase in efficiency: Electric devices are often more powerful than conventional ones, allowing for faster processing of large vineyard areas. This increase in efficiency leads to time and resource savings in vineyard maintenance.
- Comfort of work: Electric devices are generally lighter and easier to handle than manual tools or heavier conventional machinery. This makes the work of winemakers easier and contributes to a more pleasant working environment.
This precision contributes to the health of the vines and promotes sustainable wine production.
Fertilization for sustainable wine production
Electric devices support efficient and precise fertilization, enabling more effective resource utilization.
- Electric fertilizer spreaders and dispensers are often equipped with advanced dosing technology. This allows for precise control over the quantity and distribution of fertilizers. Winemakers can dose the exact amount of nutrients required by the plants without excess.
- Variable fertilizer application: Electric devices can be equipped with variable rate systems based on data such as soil analysis and plant requirements. This enables customized fertilization, adjusting the quantity of nutrients supplied to different areas of the vineyard or even individual vines.
- Real-time monitoring and adjustment: Electric fertilizer spreaders can often be monitored and adjusted in real-time. This allows winemaker to respond to changing conditions during the fertilization process to ensure optimal nutrient supply.
- Minimization of environmental impact: Precise dosing and application of fertilizers help avoid over-fertilization. This reduces the risk of nutrient loss, minimizes water pollution from excess fertilizers, and contributes to reducing environmental impact.
Resource-efficient wine production – The Harvest
Electric harvesting machines contribute to efficient and resource-efficient harvesting by offering various advantages:
- Precise control and selection: Electric harvesting machines enable precise control during the harvesting process. This ensures that only ripe grapes are harvested, while unripe or damaged fruits are sorted out. As a result, the quality of the harvested grapes is improved.
- Efficient working speed: Electric harvesting machines are often able to work at a constant and efficient speed. This leads to faster harvesting and allows for efficient utilization of labor and resources.
- Reduced physical strain: Compared to manual harvesting methods, electric harvesting machines reduce the physical strain on workers. This contributes to improved working conditions and the health of the harvesters.
- Energy efficiency: Electric harvesting machines can be more energy-efficient than their conventional, fossil-fueled counterparts. This helps reduce overall energy consumption and minimize the ecological footprint of the harvesting machines.
- Minimization of losses: Through precise grape capture and handling, electric harvesting machines minimize the loss of harvested produce. This helps maximize overall yield and conserve valuable resources.
Overall, these factors contribute to increased overall efficiency and resource-efficient harvesting in viticulture through the use of electric harvesting machines.
