Sustainable, safe and smart mobility: this is, in short, the aspiration of the automotive supply industry and therefore also the motto of the CLEPA Policy Conference and Annual Reception on 11 April in Brussels. The key ingredient to achieve sustainable, safe and smart mobility from...
FISITA, the international membership organisation for the automotive and mobility systems engineering profession, and CLEPA, the European Association of Automotive Suppliers have entered into a new Strategic Partnership, in a further move to stress the importance of research and innovation in the automotive industry. CLEPA represents...
Tomorrow the Commission will bring ministers, representatives of EU countries, industry, academia and civil society representatives together to encourage cooperation in artificial intelligence, blockchain, eHealth and innovation. Discussions will focus on how the technological developments will shape the future of Europe and building a strong Digital...
The proposed UN Road Safety Fund will aim at bridging the gaps in the mobilization of adequate resources to fund road safety projects at local, national and global levels. The total additional grant funding for road safety needed to achieve the SDG road safety targets...
If we are to have truly smart cities our transport systems will have to be more cost-effective, safer and sustainable. Perhaps most of all they will need to be more integrated, as the EU-funded project MFDS demonstrates. The stated aim of the EU's 'smart, green and...
As transport technology progresses at breath-taking speed we tend to focus on how advanced and intelligent vehicles are getting. However, of equal importance is the infrastructure that they travel on and where new technology can be used to make these roads more secure, safe, efficient...
Tackling emissions from vehicle exhausts to reduce air pollution is a well-known challenge, but vehicles also emit non-exhaust emissions caused by wear and tear on brakes, tyres and roads. EU scientists are studying the problem and are developing novel solutions to cut brake emissions. The road...
Reducing the emissions of internal combustion engines requires not only establishing ambitious targets as a key technology driver, but also developing solutions that can exceed those goals. In the case of particle emissions, the type and size of the particles present in exhaust can vary substantially...
