THEMES
Autonomous Vehicles
Is a robot driver the solution to improve safety and keep distances in a post-pandemic world? The SME LIVE speakers will explore this question and the related challenges for the deployment of autonomous vehicles.
Autonomous Vehicles
There are 25,000 road deaths today in the EU to be decreased to 0 by 2050. That is the objective of the European Commission. While each mobility service can make an impact to reach this target, automated vehicles are certainly the keystone to unlock the full safety potential of the smart mobility industry. With rising concerns around the protection of drivers and passengers, is a robot-chauffeur the solution to move in a post-pandemic world? SME LIVE will leverage the breadth of expertise from the speakers to look closer at this question together with the other challenges related to the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles.
Worth your time
Shared mobility
How to reconcile social distance and shared mobility? SME LIVE transports you in the world of tomorrow to understand how shared modes of transport will adapt to their new environment.
Shared mobility
How to reconcile social distance and shared mobility? Around the world, mobility and public transport operators are experiencing a severe drop in their utilisation rate. This fast-growing market expected to be worth trillions of Euros in a few years is now in a turbulence zone. Some companies are stepping out from markets while others are merged or shut down. SME LIVE brings you in the near-future to understand how shared mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the Mobility Revolution, will adapt to its new environment and get back stronger from this crisis.
Micro and active mobility
The face of our city centres is changing in favour of more micro and active mobility. SME LIVE will help you to understand what has happened and get the latest insights for your next strategic moves.
Micro and active mobility
Cities have understood that micro and active mobility may be one of the key solutions to find the right balance between social distance and sustainable modes of transport. Game changing infrastructure investments around walking and cycling lanes are permanently changing the face of our urban areas: over 650 km of new cycle lanes in Paris, reduced speed limits in Brussels, Milan and Vienna and almost EUR 3bn to be spent within 5 years by the UK Government into new equipments are few examples of the transition we are experiencing. SME LIVE will help you to understand what has happened and get the latest insights for your next strategic moves.
Electric Vehicle
SME LIVE will deep dive into the electrification of mobility to understand why EV sales are growing in a disrupted automotive market and what we expect tomorrow.
Electric vehicle
EV sales in Europe have overcome the ones in China in the first Quarter of 2020. The entire automotive industry is experiencing a dramatic crisis with an expected market drop of 30% this year against 2019. However, electric vehicles seem to be an attractive solution for EU citizens. In April 2020, sales have increased Y-o-Y by +48% in Germany, +97% in France and +161% in the UK. SME LIVE will deep dive into the electrification of mobility to understand this recent trend and include into the debate additional challenges around topics such as charging points, battery range and end-user adoption. There will be no stone left uncovered by our speakers to holistically address this game-changing theme.
Logistics
The growing e-commerce industry increases the pressure on urban mobility capacities. SME LIVE will explore what solutions are available in the near-future to make sure orders are delivered on-time and safely up to our front door.
Logistics
The urban delivery market is expected to reach EUR 2.3bn by 2027 with a growth rate over 16% CAGR. The epidemic is accelerating the consumer interest in both the purchase of goods online and the benefit of home deliveries. Considering that freight-related urban trips account today for up to 20% and keep increasing, there is an urgent need to address the last mile delivery challenge. SME LIVE will explore what solutions are available in the near-future to make sure our goods are delivered on-time and safely up to our front door.
