You're invited - Toyota shares vision on Future of Urban Mobility
Our Future Mobility Now (1) webinar
Toyota Motor Europe (TME) invites you to join the inaugural Manufacturer Focus webinar hosted by ACEA's Out Future Mobility Now project on January 12. During the live online presentation, TME will share its unique insight on the evolution of cars and motorised transport in the context of urban mobility.
More and more European citizens are now living in an urban setting. This means that cities and transport infrastructures around Europe are now facing an increase in challenges resulting from urban congestion, pollution, and traffic incidents. From this standpoint, the automotive industry has already begun researching and developing new and creative solutions to enhance and improve urban mobility for the future while reducing environmental impact.
Through this live webcast, TME's environmental expert, Stephan Herbst, will demonstrate how efficient and effective urban transport could enhance and contribute to improve the lives of urban dwellers. Lars Akkermans, researcher at Transport & Mobility Leuven, will join the discussions as a specialist in modelling human behaviour, offering concrete analysis on the impact of road safety measures and transport policy on society and the environment.
Join us on Thursday, January 12 at 17:00 CET to listen in or have your say by following this link:
