Like other sectors, the automotive industry must evolve to meet future economic and ecological challenges. Currently, thermal vehicles are responsible for nearly 10% of CO2 emissions worldwide. In developed economy such like in France, this figure rises to 15%. The electrification of these vehicles is therefore a key issue in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
The race to net zero is on, and to cross the finish line by 2050 industry needs to shed the burden of fossil fuels. But which energy sources have the power to replace them?
To face the growing volume of plastic produced, used and dumped, industries have to evolve to a fully circular model in which end-of-life plastic products are not discarded but transformed to create value. Innovation, regulation and international collaboration are needed to enable this transition.
Superconducting cables are miracles of electrical connectivity. We discover what makes them so important – and how Nexans is delivering the world’s first-ever superconducting cable system integrated in a railway grid.
Floating technology is a hot trend in the world of renewables. We examine the drivers and discover how Nexans is helping to turn the dream of floating offshore wind – and solar – into a reality.

Mining and construction require huge amounts of energy. In many cases, diesel oil for machines and vehicles is the primary energy input. But times are changing. Mining and construction companies want to boost their environmental performance – and they are switching to electricity to achieve this.
Allowing ships to connect to landside power grids while they are in port boosts air quality and cuts carbon emissions. How can DSOs enable this transformation?
Finding ways to get more out of existing grid infrastructure is an area of increasing interest for DSOs. There are a number of reasons for this.

How far can a cable be blown? It is very difficult to answer this question as it depends so much on several different criteria. To help you maximize the performances, whether it is on speed or distance, here are 7 key points to keep in mind
Today, some data centres can be built in just 6-9 months – compared to 12-18 months only a few years ago. The reason is simple: if you are running an IT, telecom or a digital business where physical infrastructure is critical for core operations, whenever it’s not working, you lose money and maybe even customers. To support our clients in this race for speed and efficiency, Nexans developed an Optical Fibre Assembly Service that allows data centres to get up and running faster and smoother than ever before.
To understand its position in the marketplace, a company should be able to summarize its strategic mission in one sentence. For Nexans Data Center Solutions, it might sound like this: “Think like a local partner, act like a global supplier”. This approach reflects our belief that a true partnership can only be based on shared values and vision.
Mobility
Nexans K25 power cables offer the best fire safety performance in the market. That’s why K25 is used where safety matters most – in stations and tunnels on the Paris Metro.
Keeping track of plant and building materials on a major project, such as the Grand Paris Express, is a big challenge. But thanks to tiny GPS tracking devices, it’s now possible to keep tabs on critical building materials – all the way from the factory floor to the trackside. The prize: faster deployment with reduced loss and theft
Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM) techniques could revolutionise the delivery of new railways (and upgrades of existing ones). From a cabling perspective, that could include precision cutting of cables for the customer and the integration of cable accessories in the factory, instead of on site. The prize is faster, safer delivery – with optimum precision?
