E-mobility is advancing successfully. Recently, an electric coach passed its performance test with flying colors in ice, snow, and extreme cold. The electric bus mastered extreme climatic conditions and temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees near the Arctic Circle and in Erzurum, Turkey, where harsh winters are the norm. The range remained stable, and the passenger compartment heating worked perfectly. This demonstrates that electric mobility can function reliably and economically even under extreme conditions. The key raw materials involved are lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper.

Hydrogen technology is currently in the development phase. Although fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen trains already exist, this technology still faces challenges. In the future, however, it could represent a promising solution for reducing CO2 emissions. Hydrogen trains, for example, have been and are being tested in Europe, in Frankfurt, and in Apulia. The key raw material here is platinum, which acts as a catalyst in fuel cells. According to the latest quarterly report from the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC), the platinum market recorded a deficit for the third consecutive year in 2025. These deficits have grown every year since 2023.

For 2026, the WPIC expects a deficit of 240,000 ounces of platinum. In 2025, platinum demand rose by 65 percent for investors and by nine percent for platinum jewelry. Mining supply is expected to remain stable, while on the demand side, the strong stock market and ETF accumulation seen in the previous year is not expected to repeat. Nevertheless, platinum remains an important commodity.
