1 SMART MOBILITY INTEGRATED WITH LOW-CARBON MOBILITY TRANSSMART Nils-Olof Nylund

2 MAJOR GLOBAL TRENDS AND CHALLENGES FOR MOBILITY Rapidly increasing numbers of motor vehicles» Improvements of vehicles and fuels alone will not be enough to bring transport on the pathway to sustainability Urbanization» Urban transport cannot be handled by simply increasing the number of passenger cars Grand challenges listed by EU s Horizon 2020» Health, demographics and wellbeing» Food security and sustainable bio-resources» Secure, clean and efficient energy» Smart, green and integrated transport» Resource efficiency and climate challenge» Secure and inclusive societies

3 The world cannot support continued business-as-usual growth without some major changes in how we approach transport: either through ICT or mode shifting or some combination of these options. In developing regions in particular, it simply will not be possible to build enough roads to support 3 billion vehicles by 2050, electric, gas or conventional diesel this is certainly a driver for finding real solutions to sustain long-term travel demand growth beyond vehicle and fuel technologies. John Dulac/IEA 2013

4 WHY IS VTT THE KEY PLAYER IN SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT? Solving the future challenges in transport requires a systemic approach and involvement of all key stakeholders VTT s strengths include: cross-cutting competence, from technical details to foresight critical mass strong national and international networks evidence in competence evidence in creating public-private partnerships license to operate from the Ministry of Transport and Communications, including engagement of other research institutes comprehensive research facilities VTT is the Finnish hub in developing smart lowcarbon transport systems!
