The cities in Europe will have to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and they must rely on the whole ecosystem to support the transition towards a more sustainable mobility. An important part of the ecosystem is the automotive industry, which faces risks related to the regulatory environment, changing mobility landscape, charging infrastructure integration, market competition, and different economic factors. To address these risks, collaboration among stakeholders is crucial. EIT Urban Mobility organises a session during TMWC with relevant representatives from the Automotive industry and the public sector, aiming to:

1. Discuss the challenges, opportunities, fears, risks, and new business models arising.
2. Identify the gaps between the cities’ vision and the private sector objectives and enhance the collaboration between the regulators, the industry, the cities, and its citizens to achieve the common mission of decarbonisation and sustainable urban mobility.
