Main Stage Sessions

Urban Development • S15 • 14:00 > 15:00 • Cities in the Driver’s Seat: Is E-Mobility Really the Future? • Main stage - E-Motion Arena (Congress Hall) Urban Development
Cities are the epicenters of the e-mobility revolution - but are they keeping up with the uptake? As innovation hubs and policy pioneers, urban areas are shaping the transition to EVs while rethinking mobility. What can be done to balance electrification with reducing car dependency and reclaiming public space?
This session will explore how cities are leading the charge, from bold EV strategies to tackling emissions to construction and related non-road machinery. What challenges must be tackled on the road to full electrification? How can we create industrial strategies that support cities in making e-mobility the norm?
