To generate knowledge among society about the challenges of mobility and the major emerging technologies to improve air quality and reduce the carbon footprint. 

We are moving more and more. We move to go to work, to transport goods, to visit family and friends, or to get to know other cultures. But the current mobility model is contributing significantly to global warming in general and to poor air quality in cities. Transportation is a sector that consumes 30% of the global energy and generates more than 20% of CO2 emissions.

Therefore, one of the great challenges of the future is to create a sustainable mobility model that ensures the protection of the environment, health, and the quality of life of citizens, while at the same time favoring economic development. In this great challenge of decarbonizing and making mobility more sustainable, technology and scientific rigor must be our allies and new technologies in development will be key.

• Mobility carbon footprint analysis: from production to end-of-life management.
• Improve air quality.
• New vehicle propulsion technologies in the future.
• Contribution of autonomous, connected, cooperative, and shared mobility to reduce the negative impacts of road transport.
