The first Swiss Forum on electric mobility opens its doors on the 26th and 27th January 2010 at the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne. Under the patronage of Federal Councillor Moritz Leuenberger, this forum aims to globally address the transformation of transport systems in the face of the arrival of individual private mobility.
Organised by the
Mobility academy,
the first Swiss Forum on electric mobility is sponsored by the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO), Touring Club Switzerland (TCS), swiss
electric (an organisation of Swiss electricity grid companies) and Nissan International SA.
The Swiss Forum brings together many famous speakers from the political and economic worlds in order to debate transitions in the transport market, and to ensure that Switzerland becomes a pioneering country in electric mobility.
For Federal Councillor Moritz Leuenberger "
the task of the Swiss Forum on electric mobility is to open up, a wide debate over the years to come concerning opportunities, threats, and requirements in order that the hopes that are raised by this technique will one day materialise effectively as a sustainable solution."
Electric mobility: towards a new car market Switzerland is certain that the transition to the
electric car is going to substantially change the transport sector.
This is why Swiss decision makers from now on wish to devise new infrastructures, adapted to the requirements of tomorrow’s mobility, and to progressively think through these market
transformations from an innovative angle.
The themes to be debated give a general vision of the political and economic strategy of Switzerland, which is convinced that
electric vehicles will come to dominate the traffic of tomorrow.
Open to international tendencies, this Forum positions the automobile industry as one of the key players of sustainable development.
It also shows real political investment from Switzerland in terms of adapting to electric mobility, aiming to involve all the stakeholders of the transport market in a global project.
The ideas raised during the Swiss Forum will be gathered under the
Charter of Lucerne, which testifies to decision makers’ commitment to a general policy that paves the way for electric mobility in Switzerland in the years to come.
