As city populations continue to grow, the way
in which people and goods are moved will
change.
How will the need for ease of access, freeflowing traffic, clean air, low carbon emissions
and safety impact on the vehicles, technologies
and fuels in our future?
We are moving towards new energy options,
autonomous and connected vehicles, multimodal systems, and as many questions are
being raised as are being answered about what
the future of automotive and mobility will look
like, how it may evolve and the likely timelines.
Join us to explore these exciting themes at
