Welcome
FISITA Honorary Committee
In 2009 we established the FISITA World Automotive
Summit to enable policy-makers and influential thinkers
to meet with leaders of the automotive industry and
work together on issues of major importance to the
future of the automobile.
The FISITA Honorary Committee is a group of top
industry leaders who support FISITA’s agenda to
promote efficient, affordable, safe and sustainable
automotive transportation.
Previous Summits have tackled the issues of CO2 reduction
from road transport, global traffic safety and the reinvention of mobility in an increasingly urban future.
‘Powering Towards a Green Future’ is the topic for 2014.
When we met in November 2013 to shape the upcoming
Summit, we quickly arrived at this theme, since the FISITA
board members all believe that the automotive engineering
community can contribute to a better world.
Modern societies rely on personal mobility. However, it
creates a substantial demand for energy. International CO2
emission regulations will continue to be demanding in the
future. The total cost of vehicle ownership will inevitably
increase, with consequences for the affordability and the
competitive environment of the industry.
The 2014 FISITA World Automotive Summit will take a closer
look at various aspects:
●●
Vehicle and Society
●●
‘Zero Emission’ Electricity
●●
Alternative Fuels
●●
Evolutionary Developments,
including Lightweight Constructions
In the future, we will most likely see a variety of different
technical solutions. Cooperation between rule makers,
automotive industry, city planners,
energy providers and other
stakeholders will become vital
to enable the most efficient ways
of transportation.
We invite you to join us and help
shape this exciting discussion.
