Overview
Join us as we invite high-level speakers from Singapore and Poland to share the newest trends in the e-mobility sector. Learn about cutting-edge solutions changing the E-Mobility landscape- vehicles, batteries, and charging infrastructure.
Accounting for about 64% of global oil consumption, 27% of all energy use, and 23% of the world’s energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, transport is at the center of many economic and social development challenges.
Rethinking and implementing structural changes to transit may have the most profound positive impact on emission levels, air quality, and achievements of sustainable goals. Embracing new technologies has to go together with changing habits and introducing new policies allowing it.
