Alexander Kraus, CTO of the Mobility Division of TUEV Sued and Chairman of IAMTS provided a keynote.

The participants of the future mobility co-creation session had consensus on:

Mobility is a right.
Mobility needs to be designed with all generations and needs along the Human lifecycle in mind.
Mobility needs to be delivered in suitable public private partnerships.
Progress in sustainability aspects to be measured across the transportation sector through suitable and standardized impact assessment methods.
The correlation of business model change and technology change needs to be validated in consortium-based prototype projects including the impact contribution potential across the entire sector.
Cities are suitable ecosystems to validate new mobility methods and lifecycle Approaches.
Mobility needs to be considered in its entirety (automotive, rail, aerospace, maritime) and regulations/standard frameworks need to be simplified and Defragmented.
