| Venue | Sands Expo and Convention Centre, MBS Singapore |
Electromobility is widely acknowledged to have the potential to promote carbon neutral and environmentally friendly transportation concepts for the 21st century. Besides helping reduce harmful emissions in our cities, Electric Vehicle technologies will create a new paradigm for design, vehicle and component manufacturing, and infrastructure development worldwide.
Vehicles have to be fundamentally redesigned and a large number of components have to be significantly re-invented for this kind of propulsion. Furthermore new business models, policy as well as infrastructural considerations would be needed to capitalize on the business opportunities that Electromobility could present to the Megacities of Asia and beyond.
Against this backdrop, the speakers at this event will provide an overview, as well as expert comments and discussions about the trends & roadmaps as well as opportunities & challenges in the domains of:
- New Vehicle Concepts for Electromobility in Megacities and Technology Pathways
- New concepts in Autonomous driving, Car-sharing, Hybrids and Full Electric Vehicles
- Policy considerations to spur sustainable transportation
- Charging and Commerce Infrastructure, Development of Standards
- Public Acceptance Perception, Understanding Customer Demands, and Analyzing Total Costs of Ownership
- New Business opportunities in Electromobility Supply Chain, Components Innovation, Public Transport, Logistics, and related e-commerce
