Digital connectivity for smarter, more inclusive and safer mobility

The automotive sector is constantly changing, boosted by three major trends: electrification, automated driving and the connected car, and new mobility models: shared, and on demand.

The mobility of the future creates new opportunities for the automotive industry. The strategic role of innovation and technology is the driving force behind the construction of new sustainable mobility models. The limits and potentials of these models need to be analysed in order to face mobility challenges and opportunities in 21st century cities.

Science and technology are vectors of change that allow the use of alternative fuels and renewable energies to be secured and expanded, offering solutions that modify our mobility patterns and substantially improve our quality of life, while providing existing infrastructure with digital connectivity for smarter, more inclusive and safer mobility.
