OPEL. THE FUTURE IS EVERYONE’S. OUR STANCE. We don’t know, what the future holds. But we know, it can’t be the same as the past. Everything has to change: our world, our cities, our lives. For less accidents, noise and emissions. To make mobility really accessible to all of us. To make technology for a humane way of life. For a planet we can be proud to pass on to our children. It is our aspiration, that everyone can participate in this change. Why should what is important for all only be accessible to a few? We don’t always want to be the first. But we always want to be the first to make the best accessible for everyone. There’s no time to lose. Because only those inventions that are available for all will actually make the world a better place. OPEL. THE FUTURE IS EVERYONE’S.
