  text: The automotive industry is extremely important in Germany and its OEMs and
    suppliers are still globally competitive. However, the shift from combustion engines
    to e-mobility drive trains is restructuring the industry. Accordingly, this paper
    analyzes the determinants affecting the emergence of e-mobility drive technologies
    in the automotive sector. In doing so, we emphasize the role of digital technologies
    in the sector’s environmental transformation, drawing from the “twin-transition”
    framework, where digital and green shifts mutually influence one another. Methodically,
    we use an event-history approach to empirically explore the early appearance of
    R&D activities in the form of patent-based or funded-project-based collaboration
    events at the regional level over the period 1990 to 2018. Our results indicate
    positive and significant relatedness between various digitalization variables
    and the early emergence of e-mobility activities in regions. At the same time,
    the geographical context appears to be only of marginal importance.
