Road mobility is undergoing a transition driven by four major trends: sustainability, connectivity, Artificial Intelligence and new mobility models.
Electric and hybrid vehicles will become in the next future the best selling products, connected to each other and to the infrastructure and able to move autonomously. This will be a breakthrough in the transportation of people and goods, and will significantly change the way vehicles will be designed, developed, produced and used. New mobility models and the related services will be diffused, creating stimulating opportunities of new products and services.
Piemonte is a leading cluster in the global automotive sector, thanks to the presence of major international OEMs and other stakeholders, a complete and competitive supply chain, R&D centres, universities and engineering services. Altogether they are active in the development of disruptive technologies to fulfil the needs of future road mobility, developing distinctive technologies and solutions in the fields of electrification, connectivity, autonomous driving, sustainable and shared mobility, Big Data and software designed vehicles, projecting the whole territory towards new challenges and new consumer markets.
When dealing with mobility research and development, Torino offers exceptional possibilities: it is in fact one of the first cities in Italy allowing the testing of connected and autonomous vehicles on its public roads and in real traffic conditions.
