The transport sector is going through significant technological change.
Not since the invention of the internal combustion engine over 130 years ago has the automotive industry experienced such a seismic shift in innovation as it is today towards electric power, coupled with automation and connected experiences.
While the headlines are often dominated by electric vehicle advancements and their contribution to net zero, progress in other sectors continues at pace.
The rail industry, with significant capital outlay, is navigating advancements towards an even greener future with innovation in power, migrating diesel to hydrogen and hybrid systems alongside electric and battery.
Shipping, the backbone of global trade, is investing in new cleaner fuels, propulsion systems and applying aerospace technologies to wind and sail power.
Aerospace, often at the cutting edge of innovation, continues to push the boundaries of materials science and engineering to move and unite growing populations around the world in a more sustainable way.
And this is just from a power and propulsion perspective. Invention is pervasive throughout these industries across the entire consumer or customer experience. It’s the fuel of differentiation and value.
The pace of innovation has never been so fast; the levels of research and development investment are vast. Successfully navigating the changing face of regulatory compliance, protecting the hard-earned innovation, and optimising the significant investment is paramount.
