In focus: The topics of VDMA Fluid Power
ISO published the new ISO 18464 standard in May 2025. It describes a procedure for the design of energy-efficient hydraulic systems.
This was the motto of the VDMA Energy Networking Day held in Frankfurt on May 7 and 8. Around 80 members from several trade associations came together to discuss strategically relevant issues relating to energy and climate policy.
The exclusive technology & standardisation information day for VDMA members offered exciting insights into new standards for energy-efficient hydraulic systems, the digital transformation with Fluid 4.0 and hydrogen as a key technology of the future.
Buildings make a significant contribution to energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. Energy-efficient buildings can drastically reduce these emissions. Outdated heating systems and inefficient technology lead to a considerable waste of energy.
On April 18, 2023, the German cabinet presented a draft law to increase energy efficiency and amend the Energy Services Act. An overview of the current status.
Companies that want to modernize processes and invest in electricity and heat efficiency benefit from various - even lesser-known - funding opportunities at the federal and state levels.
Climate-neutral production is a challenge along the entire value chain and occupies many companies. For this reason, the VDMA has now published a practical guide for the mechanical and plant engineering sector.
