Our convictions for responsible mobility

Silo-thinking isn’t the way to approach tomorrow’s mobility. This is the founding principle of Futura-Mobility, the think tank bringing together the views and expertise of various stakeholders from the mobility sector. Our objectives? To reflect as a group on the challenges and solutions for envisaging a future mobility that is both people centric and respects planetary limits. The eleven convictions and questions that have emerged from this forward-looking exercise seek to stimulate public debate and develop projects to ensure mobility meets the challenges of the 21st century.
