Sustainable Mobility for All - Summary for the FISITA World Mobility Summit 2020

The FISITA World Mobility Summit 2020, was a different experience to what was originally planned to be held in Paris, France. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Summit became a fully virtual experience, but this did not impact the attendance or delivery of this event.

The 2020 theme: “Sustainable Mobility for All”, covered 5 topic areas:

  • Zero Impact on the Environment

  • Zero Waste (energy, time, space)

  • Zero Stress (seamless)

  • Zero Left Out (access to mobility for all)

  • Zero Fatalities (intelligent safety)

The agenda below provides links to the content, which is stored in the FISITA Digital Library. FISITA members get unlimited access to the content in the Library. The library is currently in the process of being migrated from a Store system to the new Member Open Access system on this site. The Store and FISITA Technical Library include more than 10,000 technical papers from over 30 events since 1995, plus a growing reference of recent output papers, and over 40 video presentations from 2020, including the ones from this event.

World Café Roundtable Discussions (Tuesday 17 November 2020)

Moderator: Chris Mason, Chief Executive Officer, FISITA

Table Captains: 09:00 - Remi Bastien & Nadine Leclair; 15:00 - Michael Bauer; 17:00 - Tim Wallington

Attendees considered all three of the topics below:

Note: a summary of the output from these sessions was presented in the Summary Session (below)


Topic 1: Zero Impact on the Environment & Zero Waste

  • As regulations and standards become ever more stringent in relation to environmental impact, how will the industry continue to meet these rules at an affordable cost of ownership?

  • How could the automotive industry cooperate with other industries, such as energy, and infrastructure to anticipate regulation on the environment in order to enable more efficient responses?

  • What kind of partnership could we build with different territories to contribute together towards the goal of zero waste in a circular economy?


Topic 2: Zero Stress & Zero Left Out (access to mobility for all)

  • Autonomous vehicles and human machine interface offer the chance of seamless, stress-free mobility for all. Will these technologies meet these needs, and what challenges and opportunities do they bring?

  • How can we mobilize our industry to offer affordable and “easy to use” mobility to elderly or disabled people and for the populations of emerging countries?


Topic 3: Zero Fatalities (greater Intelligent Safety)

  • With the increased emergence of advanced sensing systems, on-board processing capabilities and other technologies in vehicles, how will these contribute to zero fatalities? Are there any risks involved?

  • How can we take advantage of complementarity of infrastructure and embedded technology to decrease dramatically the risks of collisions (V2X and associated technologies)?


Summary Session (Friday 20 November 2020)

Above video is the introduction to this session provided by Hans Greimel.


Moderator for 09:00 GMT: Hans Greimel, Asia Editor of Automotive News, moderated the 09:00 GMT session, with Remi Bastien, VP - Automotive Prospective at Groupe Renault, moderating the 16:00 GMT session with the following presentations (links to presentations in the FISITA Digital Library below require FISITA membership to view, but embedded videos can be viewed freely):

Nadine Leclair, FISITA President 2020 - 2023

Once again, we’d like to give thanks to the 2020 official sponsor, Shandong Linglong Tyre, our co-organiser SIA France and our official media partner Automotive News. Prior to the event, Linglong Tire answered some questions about their focus, goals and recent developments in this Spotlight post.


If you would like to be part of the ongoing conversation around Sustainable Mobility, consider joining FISITA. The 2021 FISITA World Mobility Summit is currently being planned to happen in November and focus on "Workplace Evolution" for mobility engineers - how are the tools and tasks changing, how the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated some change, and how technical activity is expected to evolve as electrification and autonomous vehicles progress.


Note: This Spotlight was published on 10 May 2021 for the event that was held at the end of 2020 to provide updated links to the content, which is now stored in the FISITA Digital Library. A link to this post has been added to previous related posts.
