What is the impact of consumer expectations on safety, comfort, and convenience? Why are automakers and the vehicle development ecosystem reconsidering their approach? How will battery-electric and software-defined vehicles drive growth and evolution from original equipment manufacturers?
How have sustainability targets and the requirement to reduce costs & equipment downtime increased the need for synergies across the value chain? Why will investments in electric powertrains and renewable energy drive the growth and adoption of hybrid machinery across applications?
Why are governments promoting the use of alternative powertrains in buses plying low-emission zones? How is the development of hydrogen fuel cells for mobility applications gaining traction? Why will new participants enter and grow in the electrification and fuel cell trucking space?
Hydrogen is a key part of the solution toolbox in achieving global decarbonisation. Policymakers are focused on creating the necessary framework for the hydrogen economy to flourish, investor appetite to back hydrogen initiatives is high, and industrial conglomerates are busy developing production, transportation, and storage solutions for commercialisation.
