@citycarsummit
Welcome to the City Car Summit
By 2030 60% of the world’s population will live in cities, up from around 50% today.
Over the same period, more than two billion people are likely to enter the middle
class, with the majority of them living in cities in emerging markets. The number of
megacities with more than ten million people will continue to grow.
Congestion is already
close to unbearable
in many cities and
can cost as much as
2% to 4% of GDP by
measures such as
lost time, wasted energy
and increased cost
of doing business.
Many new members of the global middle class will want access to cars. Some
analysts project automobile sales could increase from around 88m a year today to
125m by 2025, with more than half forecast to be purchased in cities. The existing
urban infrastructure cannot support such an increase in vehicles on the road.
Congestion is already close to unbearable in many cities and can cost as much as 2%
to 4% of GDP by measures such as lost time, wasted energy and increased cost of
doing business.
Solving the urban mobility challenge calls for bold, coordinated actions from the
automotive industry, mobility operators and the public sector. Technological
advances along with new approaches to funding, urban policy-making, and businessmodel innovation will be needed to keep us moving efficiently around cities that are
safe, clean and liveable.
The goal of the City Car Summit is to bring together some of the very best new
research, thinking and solutions aimed at making cars better suited for urban
environments and finding new ways to harness big data and connectivity to provide
urban consumers with smart, integrated, profitable mobility services on demand.
We are privileged to have presentations from more than 30 of the world’s leading
experts and entrepreneurs in the urban mobility field. Please take every opportunity to
ask questions, contribute ideas and participate in the discussions during the sessions
and the networking breaks.
Thank you for joining us and for being part of the growing global effort to engineer next
generation mobility for the benefit of people everywhere.
