 Global megatrends

Global megatrends, such as Climate and Sustainability, Shifting Demographics – age, lifestyle and consumption patterns - and Geopolitical risks are driving automotive trends which will shape our future transport system 

Electrification
The rapid penetration of EVs has a major impact on the automotive industry, redefining vehicle design, production, and maintenance.
Digitalization & Connectivity
Light vehicles are increasingly resembling “computers-on-wheels” and software is gradually becoming more important than hardware.
Autonomous vehicles
Many vehicles are now equipped with more automation features. Hands-off driving is in the near future. This opens up new possibilities for car design.
Shared Mobility
With light vehicles still standing 95 percent of the time, sharing is a way to improve resource utilization and a more sustainable world.
Increasing Safety Content per Vehicle
Passive safety equipment will take different forms in different markets, including personalizing restraints and human-machine interfaces .
Vulnerable Road User Protection
Of the 1.35 million global traffic fatalities each year, over half are among vulnerable road users. Greater protection is endorsed by the UN.
