September 20, 2022 PRESS RELEASE
As Climate Group’s EV100 initiative celebrates its fifth anniversary this month, five new members have joined, who will collectively transition over 44,000 vehicles to electric by 2030.
New joiners include global pharmaceutical and biosciences company Bayer, British-based multinational bank Barclays, international financial services provider Allianz SE, India’s fastest-growing agri-commerce company WayCool and precision instrumentation supplier Spectris Plc.
Further underlining their commitment to electrifying road transport, in addition to electrifying their fleets, WayCool and Spectris Plc have also committed to install charging infrastructure across their estate for use by their staff and customers.
EV100 brings together forward-looking companies committed to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles and is sending a powerful signal that the future of transportation is electric.
It’s an exciting time for EV100 and we are pleased to be one of the latest companies to sign up to this ambitious initiative. We’re committing to electrifying our 430-strong fleet and rolling out charging infrastructure for our staff and customers. Committing to EV100 now will help us achieve our net zero by 2040 target. We’re looking forward to working with likeminded companies and working with our supply chain and customers to develop their own EV fleets too.

Once an Imagineer has identified an opportunity for a ‘smart’ product, the OEM typically wants the development of custom sensors to proceed very rapidly. You need a partner with a deep understanding of your application, and HBK experts can actively contribute and advise on fundamental sensor system design.
Air transport accounts for about 3% of global CO2 emissions. As they are released at high cruising altitudes, the effects of CO2, fine dust, nitrogen oxides and other pollutants on the climate are five times stronger than on the ground. But aircraft manufacturers have long been working on making flying more environmentally friendly.
Dytran will be integrated into the HBK business. The acquisition of Dytran will broaden HBK’s existing sensor offering and further advance its ability to design and deliver custom sensing solutions.
