Sustainable solutions for future mobility.

The automotive industry is in the middle of a revolutionary transformation towards connected, autonomous, shared and electrified vehicles.

We are facing an exciting future that will enable more sustainable mobility solutions.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY is driving the development towards increasingly smarter vehicles and sustainability is an key component in future solutions. Vehicle manufacturers around the world need to be at the forefront of electrification, active safety, connected systems and self-driving vehicles.

In regards to sustainability, biofuels, hydrogen and electrification are the areas where the major impact will be. We also see that sharing services and sustainable circular economy are central. But vehicle manufacturers cannot predict the future of the industry with certainty. Strategic exploration today in various verticals is essential to evaluate scenarios for future mobility. Important to align the the timelines of these.

THE VALUE OF THE CAR INDUSTRY is expected to double from 2018 to 2030, mainly through new mobility solutions and connection services. We're gonna need many engineers, especially software developers. The industry has grown rapidly, becoming both versatile and dynamic, which has created a dramatic increase in stakeholders that affects the future of mobility.

CITIES INCREASINGLY DEMANDS accessibility. The energy industry continues to diversify and influence future opportunities. Mobility providers have changed the approach to mobility and technology giants affect how systems work and converge. Expectations on “connected intelligence” are becoming the new standard, demanding a seamless mobility experience.?

SOFTWARE COMPETENCE is increasingly becoming one of the most important differentiating factors for the industry. As cars are increasingly integrated into the connected world, car manufacturers will have no choice but to participate in the new mobility ecosystem that emerges as a result of technology and consumer trends.

OEM's need to develop solutions for both personal and goods transport and delivery. Looking into one context and scenario won't suffice.?

IN THE LONG TERM, fully autonomous vehicles will provide great benefits. It can reduce accidents caused by human error and it can also reduce costs for the environmental impact of transport. These benefits will gradually increase as the autonomous systems evolves.

WITH COMPLEX surroundings and increasingly challenging driving conditions on the road, this is no easy task. Vehicles must be able to sense their surroundings and adapt their behaviour accordingly, as if they were conscious living beings. This is what engineers already work with, but more specifically the assignments in functional development and functional safety, sensor technology, electrical hardware, software development, cyber security, Big Data and AI are key enablers going forward.

OEM'S NEED COMPETENCE in all project phases and through deep design and engineering knowledge they support existing challenges and at the same time offer guidance and preparation for tomorrow's mobility opportunities.
