Theme of the conference
The conference will take place against the background of the ongoing revision of the White Paper on Transport, the relaunch of the CARS 2020 process and the 2015 European Mobility Week.
Let’s innovate! will bring together key policy-makers, vehicle manufacturers and other stakeholders to discuss the contribution of L-category vehicles (i.e. motorcycles, mopeds, tricycles and quadricycles) to both Europe’s mobility and industrial competitiveness.
The conference will focus on different forms of innovation, such as technical innovation, innovation in local mobility planning and innovative policy-making at European level.
A session of the conference will be dedicated to electromobility, one of the many facets of technical innovation developed by the industry. Leading experts will present and discuss ongoing research projects funded by the EU through the European Green Vehicles Initiative (2014-2020) and Horizon 2020.
