1. Hydrogen
One certainly, that we see everywhere around the world, is decarbonization. I think hydrogen in many ways, is one of the most interesting new developments on the mobility scene.
2. Original Equipment Manufaturers
I think we’re gonna see also more and more Original Equipment Manufaturers. If you wanted to produce a car, it was the minimum check of 2,3,4 billion dollars. For R&D, massive car plant… There’s been a real miniaturization of industrial processes. More and more companies, start ups, that are aiming to be car companies, whether it’s Rivian, Lucid Fisker, Local…
And some of these have a chance, a real chance. That really was not the case you know up until a few years ago.
3. Public-Private
The third big trend is we’re going to see a lot more public-private partnerships. Via has been making very interesting deals with mobility. Because of the COVID catastrophe almost every city has had its budgets and its financial underpinnings hollowed out. Cities and public authorities will have to turn more and more to the private sector.
