The need for sustainable mobility solutions
Driven by the megatrends of urbanization, digitization, globalization, and demographic change, the demand for mobility will continue to increase rapidly. At the same time, there is an intensifying need to mitigate climate change, as well as the depletion of natural resources, to shape a sustainable and livable future. It is one of our central motivations at Siemens Mobility to act decisively and introduce sustainability standards that enable decarbonization and dematerialization of the entire mobility value chain.
Global megatrends influence mobility demand
