We’d like to present our latest Edition of our MOTION Magazine to you: Edition V serves as our next chapter bringing you stories about a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable future in mobility. And with this Edition, we created a first as we publish our lifestyle magazine in both: English and German languages. Sounds familiar to you:? Well we tested such a dual-language version in our Edition Zero a few years back, but until now, we weren't sure about it. As much as we are proud about our latest Edition now, we are keen to understand, how you like it. Here is a short intro into some of the topics we have chosen.
