Safe & sustainable: mobility in the 21st century
Yet, some of these responses have been years in the making as mobility providers – those that help get goods, people and services from A to B – and users have searched for more sustainable, straightforward ways to go about their business.
Grappling with the future
In the coming decades, the world will become even more urban and populous. The second quarter of the twenty-first century will be dominated by the need to retool economies to serve more people, decarbonise, adapt to climate change, and improve resilience in the face of viruses, cyber threats and other sources of fragility.
And in turn, leaders from across the private and public sectors – including local governments – will grapple with how the automotive, aerospace, transport and logistics and other sectors can innovate and grow in the face of these headwinds.
Reinventing the wheel launches
To better understand the trends and changes that encompass the movement of people, goods, services and data, we have launched Reinventing the wheel: what’s driving change in 21st century mobility. This insight series features contributions from Mazars experts from around the world. Each article is shared to help businesses and their teams navigate the changing mobility world and seize commercial opportunities.
Three interconnected series
As these debates play out across the industry - exploring how mobility providers and users can influence and lead a transformation towards cleaner, more connected and collaborative systems - we have created three interconnected Reinventing the wheel series:
The first series, Mobility in a sustainable, post-Covid world focuses on how the world of mobility can offer safer options in light of Covid-19 and more sustainable options considering increased expectations from governments and consumers for resilient, net-zero carbon economies.
Articles in series one:
Series one articles include insight and contributions from Mazars experts based in China, France, Germany, Netherlands, South Africa, the UK and the US.
The second series, Mobility as a service, focuses on how the mobility sector is moving away from a product mentality to mobility as a multi-modal, multi-platform service. It will include expert insight on the development of carsharing, how mobility businesses could create more liveable cities, and more.
Mobility and the next wave of disruption, the third series in the campaign, will explore how data, analytics, robotics, 5G and other technologies will shift the mobility landscape in the coming decades, and how mobility players should prepare for the changes to come. Articles in the series will cover future modes of transport, last mile delivery and the role of robotics in mobility’s transformation.
Series one of Reinventing the wheel launches on 28 October and series two and three will launch later this year. Keep an eye on our social media channels to find out when they launch.
As the world becomes more urban and populous, demand for mobility services that get people, goods and services from A to B will rise. But as the planet heats up, governments and societies expect the automotive, logistics and aviation sectors to bring carbon emissions down. What the mobility ecosystem does next will affect us all.
Concern for climate change has steadily grown over the last decade, with majorities in France, Germany, Spain, the UK, Brazil, Australia [1], and many other countries, seeing it as a pressing security threat. Natural disasters – such as the 2020 Australian wildfires – and campaigns such as Fridays for the Future have effectively won the argument. Today, climate change is an urgent concern, but how...
Achieving sustainable mobility requires scaling vehicle sharing, decarbonising the energy system, and funding and building infrastructure for electric vehicles and other alternatives to petroleum. As each country takes its own approach, what lessons can be learned from China’s experience?
As pressure grows on the automotive sector to become more sustainable and reduce emissions, there will be commercial (and reputational) opportunities for automotive manufacturers and others if they improve their sustainability and pricing amid new green policies, programmes and regulation.
Before the pandemic hit, progress on airline sustainability was gathering pace, passenger numbers were expected to increase steadily, and airlines were expecting to expand. Covid-19 has suddenly and radically changed the outlook. What is the extent of the pandemic’s disruption of the industry? And what might it mean for the future of air travel?
Transport and logistics (T&L) companies that want to become more sustainable and resilient will recruit for data and analytics talent, collect data from new parts of the business, adopt a mindset of bold experimentation, and recognise that business as usual is over.
