This is what the climate was like in 2007 when an artist and an insurance company established the world’s first environmental award for the automotive industry:
The OekoGlobe.

Today the OekoGlobe Institute at the University of Duisburg-Essen is established and it had an influence on the electronic turning point in time.

In 2012 it will be awarded by the OekoGlobe Institut of the University of Duisburg-Essen, the DEVK Versicherungen, the TÜV Rheinland Group and the Finanzen-Verlag, Munich.

A vote of thanks goes to the international automotive industry that took an interest from the very start submitting numerous nominations of trendsetting innovations. That takes courage since no one looks more closely and carefully than Ferdinand Dudenhöffer and his jury.

"Wir sind alle Autos." This sentence that I called out in 1988 at the first, and today the legendary, Auto Trophy in Cologne has held true ever since. What has changed since then? Nothing! Just the drug auto has increased. When the wall of the Cold War fell, the motto changed from Give the People Bread to Give the People Cars. However, the air above the traffic jams remained limited and someone forgot to deliver the street under the wheels.

The last century goes to the automobile.
There is nothing that has given us so much freedom, yet, at the same time, taken so much of it away. What would Goethe’s journey to Italy have been like in a Ford? Now it is time to redefine the car. The cars on our streets are like telephone booths on wheels before the invention of the mobile phone.
