Today is about cars 🚘- The S&P Global Mobility Fall Briefing has started with presentations by my colleagues Tatiana Hristova and Denis Schemoul about light vehicle demand and production in the world and the drivers that influence them. #iaamobility2023 #spglobal

The future of driving is here! Imagine a world where driving is seamless, intuitive, and incredibly precise. This vision is becoming a reality with our groundbreaking steer-by-wire technology. Earlier this year, amidst the snowy landscapes in Sweden, we saw our innovative system in action. Now, we’re ready to share this game-changing technology with you. 🕹️🚗 Join us in Benningen, Germany, at the Explore-to-Innovate event from June 19-20 and experience the future of automotive technology up close and personal. And who knows, you might just get the chance to be one of the first to test drive our revolutionary vehicles. ⚡ Be part of the journey towards a smarter, safer, and more efficient driving experience. We can’t wait to see you there! 👀 #HitachiAstemo #Astemo #SteerByWire #ExploreToInnovate #AutomotiveTechnology #Innovation #FutureOfMobility #RoadToTomorrow

Who doesn’t love a roadmap? I am not aware of any International Roadmap Awards, but if they did exist, I think the UK’s Automotive Council would be hot favourites… As a representative of the Fleet and Mobility Services industry I’ve been lucky enough to provide feedback on a number of Auto Council roadmaps over the years. I am always so impressed with the way this coalition of talented engineers (mostly) and policymakers captures the high-level outlook for auto technology, regulation, policy and business models. I love feeling like the stupidest person in the room! These roadmaps play such an important role in building consensus on a future vision for the automotive sector and the challenges and opportunities it presents. Now that the dust has settled somewhat post-Covid, it is time to update them. I was privileged to participate in the Auto Council’s Future Texhnology Group last week. The industry faces lots of challenges, and it is harder than ever to ‘roadmap’ the future in these uncertain times. But if anyone can do it, the Auto Council can. Watch this space.

Did EVs exist even in the 20th century? We carried out a story on EVs this week, as part of our ‘Tech This Week’ series. You can take a look here https://shorturl.at/uwLR5 I found this interesting innovation way back from 1967, related to electric cars, showing the potential future of EVs back then. This is a prototype of a concept car called ‘StaRRcar’- self transport Road & Rail Car. The concept never took off as it was way ahead of its times in 60s. However, it is an interesting look at the early concepts of EVs and self-driving tech. Isn't it?

The future of mobility is a challenging puzzle. Although the demand for autonomous, electric, and software-driven vehicles is evident, we still need to tackle significant changes and mindset shifts to bring these concepts to life. Don't miss this important discussion and networking at Star Space Munich on May 14th. Register now to secure your spot! https://bit.ly/4aYoP7d Mobility visionaries from TUM Hyperloop, Lilium, and Audi Business Innovation GmbH will talk about: - How are leading disruptive companies shaping the future of mobility? - Challenges and opportunities in transitioning to new revenue models for sustainable business futures. - Mobility ecosystems for delivering cutting-edge capabilities and features to consumers.

”SEEL is important for CEVT on many levels, one being to be part of the acceleration into more sustainable mobility, but also the fact that we´re a part of ZEEKR now, a pure BEV vehicle (Battery electric vehicle). So, we need to do all this testing here, and we have already started. But also, the L4 vehicle we have together with Waymo at Google, it’s a self-driving vehicle.” said Ulrika Toftevik ♦️, Acting CEO and CFO at CEVT at the Grand Opening of SEEL on September 1.   SEEL Swedish Electric Transport Laboratory is a top modern testing facility that enables groundbreaking research and development for the next generation of electrified transports. By fostering synergies between research and industry, SEEL is on a mission to accelerate the transformation towards an electrified and fossil-free transportation landscape.   Read more about SEEL > https://www.ri.se/en/seel Find the press release here > https://lnkd.in/dnfRPqTh   Stay tuned for more updates from SEEL!   #SEELgrandopening #electromobility #transport #development  #fossilfree #collaboration RISE Research Institutes of Sweden Chalmers tekniska högskola Volvo Group Volvo Cars Scania Group CEVT

Sven Nitsche, BMW Group chaired a panel titled “Vision Zero - What will a realistic implementation look like?" which featured Pierre-Olivier Millette of European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), Cecilia Sunnevång of Autoliv, Kenneth Svensson of Trafikverket Swedish Transport Administration, and Michiel van Ratingen of Euro NCAP, For Safer Cars. "Vision Zero. Is a collaborative effort that you cannot do alone," said Michiel. Picking up on this, Nitsche asked each panellist what they expect of the other panellists’ organisations to facilitate Vision Zero. 🔉 Put the human at the centre of safety strategy, said Cecilia. 🔉 Safety is part of our 2030 Agenda, and it's essential for all parties to treat safety as part of sustainability, said Kenneth. 🔉 Focus on priorities, with narrower and deeper goals, said Pierre. And adopt a holistic approach that looks beyond the vehicle, to include infrastructure and ITS. 🔉 Simple, said Michiel: continue to innovate, and never accept the status quo. #TMCE #ISCE #visionzero #carbonneutral #digitalisation #FISITA #industrydisruption #futureofmobility #automotive #STA #barcelona #spain #climatechange #intelligentsafety
