🚗🔮 From Sci-Fi to Reality: The EU's ITS Directive 🌐✨ Remember Minority Report? Spielberg might've predicted our C-ITS Day 3 with self-driving cars! Now, the EU's new Directive 2023/2661 brings that vision closer. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤: 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬 + 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬 = 𝐁𝐅𝐅𝐬. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞? 🔍 Interoperability: Everyone talks the same tech language. 🔄 Backward Compatibility: Smooth tech updates, no disruptions. 🛣️ Respect for National Infrastructure: Coordinated systems for safer roads. 🤝 Coherence with EU Laws: Harmony in rules and standards. In the EU's update, C-ITS gets a makeover with revamped definitions and a unique security system. Plus, your data's protected! This Directive shapes a future where cars and roads work hand in hand. Exciting times ahead! 🌟 Richard Lax Adam Hill #ITSdirective #FutureTech #SmartMobility #CITS #ITSinternational

One of our most downloaded publication so far: Total Cost of Ownership for Electric Vehicles vs Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles 🚗 ⛽ In 2021, the Nickel Institute conducted a detailed investigation into the total cost of owning (TCO) an electric vehicle, from purchase through to the end of ownership, in various parts of the world. The TCO represents the complete financial cost during the time a consumer owns the vehicle. This TCO was also conducted for equivalent sized internal combustion engine, (ICE), vehicles for the purpose of comparing the economics being a significant driver in the uptake of electric vehicles. The global regions looked at were the USA, Europe and Asia. 👀 In summary: Social economic conditions vary considerably between regions affecting the affordability of an EV. There are also significant differences between countries with respect to subsidies, taxes and incentives when purchasing an EV, however the findings of the reports indicate that the total financial cost of owning an EV could be a compelling advantage to the consumer for most vehicle models. Overwhelmingly the TCO is favourable for small and mid-sized electric vehicles throughout the world and only luxury vehicles vary depending upon the location and term of ownership. At the time of the study, in all geographical areas and in all equivalent models, the EV sticker price were more than an ICE and, in some cases, considerably more. Predominately however, the subsidies and high residual value of EVs are strong off-setting factors in the TCO. In Europe and Asia, the higher cost of petroleum and diesel versus electricity also has a major impact on the TCO, even though electricity costs in Germany, as an example, are three times that of the USA. Contrary to smaller vehicles, luxury vehicles can have an extreme gap in the purchase price. Equivalent EVs in this category can be nearly twice as expensive to buy than their domestic ICE counterparts. This price difference offsets the high cost of petroleum and for high mileage drivers, the TCO for EVs can be higher than for ICEs.

🇺🇸 V2X: Federal Communications Commission limits radio spectrum for V2X in the US 😢. This points towards further fragmentation of V2X across the globe. 🇪🇺 is on the right track, if we want a strategic public infrastructure it's about §. The 🇪🇺 ITS Directive and EU radio regulation show the way to secure sufficient 🇪🇺 radio spectrum, a 🇪🇺 security credential management system and 🇪🇺 good cooperation between 🚗 OEM and 🛣 road operators and 🚋 public transport.

The United States Department of Commerce has proposed a new rule to strengthen the ICTS supply chain for connected vehicles. This rule will affect many areas, including automotive policy, cybersecurity, and economic trade. Highlights include: 1️⃣ Prohibits imports and sales of connected vehicle hardware/software linked to foreign adversaries. 2️⃣ Focuses on cybersecurity risks like data exfiltration and remote vehicle manipulation. 3️⃣ Compliance deadlines set for 2027 for software and 2030 for hardware, giving automakers time to adjust supply chains. This proposed rule marks a major step in enhancing the security of connected vehicle technology. Industry input is needed—comments are open for the next 30 days. 🚗 #ConnectedVehicles #Cybersecurity #SupplyChain #AutomotiveTech

Data is at the basis of many new digital products, services and innovations in the field of #mobility and #vehicles. In recent years, we have seen an increase in the amount of data generated by vehicles as well as an increase in applications of vehicle data. These developments can positively contribute to road safety, sustainability and a more efficient traffic flow and management. To maximize these benefits, legal certainty on access to vehicle data is key. Therefore Austria, Denmark, Finland, Ireland and the Netherlands call for timely publication of sector-specific legislation on access to vehicle data. https://lnkd.in/e48FR6fZ
