 At about 10,000 m2, the new photovoltaic enclosure in Montblanc supplies around 3,000 MWh of green energy and thus reduces 700 metric tons of CO2 per year. |

“We planned and built the photovoltaic system in about a year. With it, we can cover about ten percent of our annual power needs and significantly reduce our CO2emissions,” says Roger Gombau, plant manager at MAHLE Montblanc.
Power from its own photovoltaic systems is only one measure in MAHLE’s CO2 strategy, which the Group is driving forward with a high level of financial commitment. In addition, the group plans, for example, to further increase energy efficiency in production and development, to source climate-neutral energy, or to offset the remaining emissions.
In Montblanc, Spain, around 800 employees manufacture thermal management components and systems for heating and cooling that are used in both electric vehicles and vehicles with conventional drives. Thermal management is one of MAHLE’s key areas on the path to sustainable mobility, which plays an important role in electrification. |
