Cities are the "New Frontier" where new power train and autonomous technologies are being tested and where new business models like ride hailing have quickly taken hold. But cities are responding to concerns about emissions, congestion, and equity with new policies that could determine the early development of "new mobility." How significant will be the effects of bans on gasoline and diesel vehicles in European cities? Which cities will follow New York’s lead to curb ride hailing registrations?
Electrification is moving quickly among delivery fleets and, particularly, municipal fleets. These operators are managing new uncertainties regarding cost of charging infrastructure, optimizing power prices, and monitoring battery charging levels.
New models for personal mobility, public transport, and urban development highlight the need for a new paradigm in the city of the future. How will EVs, ride-sharing and autonomous vehicles reshape the future of urban mobility? How will cities develop integrated long-term approaches to urban transportation systems in the face of considerable short-term uncertainty over future technology and consumer preferences? What are the policy and investment choices, and what can be gleaned from new means of data analytics?
With the increase in EV charging, howare utilities preparing for the increase in demand? What new infrastructure will be necessary to accommodate additional EV charging?
