Today, I had the pleasure to attend the roundtable on the topic of Europe’s industrial strategy at European Mobility Expo in Strasbourg. The perfect opportunity, as chairperson of ACEA bus and coach division, to highlight once again the big challenges our industry is facing. Buses and coaches already deliver a significant contribution to people mobility in Europe with the lowest carbon footprint per passenger. However, Bus and coach manufacturers cannot act alone. I strongly believe that the solution to win the ‘decarbonization game’ is a collective one. The key priorities we need to address, are: 🔹 Advocate for policy makers’ requirements to be coherent across the whole industrial value chain and across the European Union 🔹 Ensure that public and private stakeholders are in financial capability to sustain the speed of change The energy transition journey is driving huge transformation in our business models. That’s why, as industry, we are convinced that the decarbonization goals in mobility and transport can only be achieved by offering public transport authorities and operators a complete range of multi-energy vehicles ensuring a full technology neutrality. And last but not least, it is very important to support the development of new competencies and specific skills to address those new challenges. For the coming years, I am looking forward to continuing collaboration with mobility sector leaders to drive change towards net-zero, where technology and sustainability go hand in hand. I want to express my gratitude towards the European Mobility Expo team for organizing this important discussion and I am excited for the next steps! ⚡️ #EuropeanMobilityExpo #industrialstrategy #SustainableMobility #ZeroEmission Nicolas BLAIN Veronica Elena Bocci Lorena IONITA Olivier SICOT Hervé BECCARIA Jean-Philippe Peuziat European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) Iveco Group IVECO BUS
