Tomorrow.Mobility

Rather than focusing only on autonomous vehicles in live urban traffic, projects like AStriD in Germany are advancing automation in controlled environments where trams can move with less human intervention. This makes the depot a strategic testing ground for improving operational efficiency and preparing public transport systems for broader automation. Key takeaways include: 🧠 Digital depots can automate fleet movements, cleaning, and internal logistics 📡 Sensors, signaling, and connected systems enables safer automation ⚖️ Regulation is helping operators move from pilots to actual deployment More information in the full article: https://loom.ly/-_jASdk

💧 Water is an often overlooked part of the mobility conversation. Yet bus fleets across Europe consume millions of liters every year. The LIFEH2OBUS project shows this can be reduced by more than 70% through smarter depot operations: 🔸 Rainwater harvesting reduces reliance on potable water 🔸 Water reuse systems make washing operations more efficient 🔸 Digital monitoring helps optimize cleaning cycles 🔸 Smarter depot design lowers environmental and operational costs Learn more here: https://loom.ly/KqoQev8

🏆 Your project could be the next award-winning initiative. The World Smart City Awards are looking for entries that push urban mobility forward and improve how people move through cities. Winning initiatives will: ⭐️ Gain international visibility among city leaders and mobility experts ⭐️ Connect with leading organizations across the public and private sectors ⭐️ Strengthen their position as a reference for mobility innovation If your work is making a difference, we want to hear all about it. 👉🏼 Submit your project by June 29 here: https://loom.ly/Z9NPmIw

At #TMWC25, PwC highlighted how smart cities are evolving into cognitive cities that respond directly to the needs of their people. Hazem Galal, Cities & Local Government Global Leader & Global Smart Mobility Co-Leader, explains this shift: 🌇👁️🗨️ “In the smart cities of the future or cognitive cities, the cities will anticipate and predict the needs of the people who interact with it and fulfill those needs based on its knowledge of their prefe)rences and choices." He emphasizes that Smart City Expo provides a space where city leaders can share experiences, learn what has worked elsewhere, and compare innovative solutions. This exchange helps cities leapfrog challenges instead of starting from scratch. 🚀 Ready to leapfrog in 2026? Participate here: https://loom.ly/VX6ukgo

At #TMWC25, Google showed how its AI powered tools help cities optimize traffic intersections, monitor wildfire risks, reduce emissions, and conduct climate scenario planning. Paddy Flynn, Vice President of Google Maps, Strategy, Execution and Operations, shares that they aim to be a key contributor to the smart cities ecosystem in the coming years. He highlights the unique value of Smart City Expo as a place where people meet in person to build relationships and recognize shared challenges: 💬 “It's all about learning. I think we’re at the beginning of the generative AI revolution, for cities and for the world. So learning about those things and how people are thinking about them is a huge opportunity at something like this.” Will you seize the opportunity in 2026? Participate here: https://loom.ly/VX6ukgo

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate all the women who shaped the conversation at TMWC25. 🚺 They are redefining systems, influencing policy, advancing innovation, and building cities that move better. ➡️ Swipe through the carousel to meet just a few of them. Each year, we prioritize providing a space where women's voices are heard, valued, and amplified – both on our stages and across the global mobility ecosystem. Inclusive mobility thrives when women are equally represented. The work continues at #TMWC26. 🎤 Our Call for Speakers is open: https://loom.ly/FITypl8

🚲 “Cycling has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world,” women’s rights activist Susan B. Anthony once said. The bicycle challenged social norms, expanded women’s independence, and opened access to education, work and political life. As #InternationalWomensDay draws near, we reflect on how mobility shapes equality. The freedom to move has always meant the freedom to participate. 🚺 👉 Swipe through our carousel to discover how initiatives like TandEM and other EIT Urban Mobility projects empower women on two wheels today.
