New pathes for greener roads!
Our mobility needs to become climate-neutral. Our partner, Daimler Truck, has committed to this goal, and together with our scholarship recipients, we are pioneering new pathways.
As part of our Career Building Programme and Innovation Lab, 26 Femteccies collaborated with the world’s leading vehicle manufacturer on a “Strategic Analysis of Decentralized Charging Infrastructure for e-Trucks.” The central task was to explore how renewable energy can be harnessed for e-mobility while meeting various environmental and customer requirements. This complex endeavour posed numerous questions, all of which our Femteccies answered in just four months!
But before celebrating their achievements, let’s rewind to the beginning: The journey began in March of this year with a kick-off event in Berlin. During an intensive introductory week, they covered technical intricacies and project requirements. The group formed into smaller teams to tackle the significant challenges ahead: the Tech Team, Regulations Team, Market & Finance Team, Customer-Needs Team, and Scenarios Team. Additionally, a Happiness Team was established! The following months were marked by intense work and learning: conducting interviews, simulating data, identifying customer needs, developing scenarios, and crafting concrete solutions. Throughout, the scholarship recipients received unwavering support from Daimler Truck. “We had weekly meetings where we could directly address our questions and concerns with specialists. The collaboration was highly professional and personal,” remarked Jasmin from Class 42.
After the four-month Innovation Lab, the results speak for themselves – a comprehensive business plan, various tools, and a wealth of new expertise! This success not only benefits Daimler Truck but also our Femteccies. “I am taking away a wealth of new knowledge, not only in content but also in project work and organizational skills. Working with my team was incredibly valuable, and I was consistently impressed by the other scholarship recipients,” shared one participant. The Learning Journey culminated in an impressive final presentation and engaging discussions with management representatives from Daimler Truck. We enthusiastically congratulate all involved on this remarkable achievement!
