Engine components were tested for over a year and driving tests were carried out with selected classic cars. The result: classic cars can also be operated in a climate-friendly manner in the future, as synthetic gasoline can be used in older engines without hesitation. The AMAG Group has the ambition to achieve a climate-neutral footprint by 2040 and supports Swiss companies that develop technologies or business models for the decarbonization of mobility with a climate fund. For this reason, the AMAG Group has held a stake in the Swiss company Synhelion for several years. This company has developed a technology to produce solar fuels using solar heat.
