National team activities, meetings with stakeholders and partners—the ÖEHV spends a great deal of time on the road. Sustainability is therefore a top priority. Thanks to mobility partner Opel & Beyschlag, the association has taken an important step and is now travelling green with electric cars.

‘The vehicle fleet provided by our mobility partner Opel & Beyschlag is virtually indispensable for carrying out all the activities surrounding our national teams. Electric cars are an important building block for more sustainable mobility. They produce no direct CO₂ emissions while in use and, when powered by electricity from renewable sources, can make a significant contribution to climate protection,’ explains ÖEHV Managing Director Alexander Helwig.

The partnership between the ÖEHV and Opel & Beyschlag has also been extended for another year.

Clemens Vohryzka, Managing Director of Opel & Beyschlag GmbH: ‘Mobility is not only a fundamental need for business and society; it is naturally indispensable in the fastest sport in the world as well. Without speed, mobility and performance, the achievements of the Austrian national team would be unthinkable and unattainable. We are therefore particularly proud that the electric vehicles we provide allow us to contribute to the team’s performances, the organisation’s essential flexibility and the work of its support staff. We are delighted to support them in the coming season as well.’
