Crystal Ball Dear Reader, At the moment, what could be more desirable than a crystal ball that enables a glimpse into the future? Decision-makers in the economy are currently faced with a number of questions: What happens next in the Covid-19 saga, which powertrain technologies will assert themselves in the future, when will the infrastructure be extended and for which technologies? In terms of Covid-19, the worst is currently to be expected. The number of infections is rising in Germany and in Europe due to the waves of holidaymakers traveling to and from their holiday destinations and the non-adherence to recommended protective measures.

Currently, there is a lot of research activity in the heavy duty sector regarding electric, hybrid and gas-powered vehicles. The use of combustion engines with synthetic fuels seems to be a further sensible solution. Many of the new solutions, however, require a corresponding charging or filling infrastructure or the appropriate capacity for the manufacture of synthetic fuels if they are to be economi-
