The electrification of the transport sector is gaining momentum. According to Eurelectric's "Power Barometer", in 2021 the electric powertrain already represented 18% of new vehicle sales. In this context, better, faster and more efficient charging processes are crucial to the success of electromobility. But what are the implications for the energy sector? That's exactly what we're talking about in this episode with Bruce Douglas, director of business development and communications at Eurelectric, the association representing the interests of the European electricity industry.

15:34

The 21st century is a digitalised world, where data serves as the new raw material driving our society. An increasing number of sensors are generating vast amounts of data through a rapidly growing array of smart devices. According to the International Data Corporation, the amount of digital data generated globally each year has increased more than tenfold and is expected to nearly double again by 2027 – reaching over 284 zettabytes (to visualise this number, add 21 zeros to 284). To make sense of this data, it must also be transmitted – to other devices or the cloud, for instance. In this podcast, we explore the trends shaping sensor technology and networking.
