Smart mobility
When humanity and technology hit the road
There’s always a road ahead. What changes is how you travel it. As the centers of civilization, the world's cities have always driven people forward. Today is no different, but human ingenuity and intelligent technologies are creating new possibilities for a cleaner, healthier kind of progress.
Connectivity, data and transportation are coming together to reduce friction in people’s lives. From electric cars to mobility as a service to intelligent transport systems, this is the era of smart mobility — and it’s fueling momentum for humanity.
At PwC, we envision safe, efficient, convenient and sustainable solutions that help to keep everyone and everything in motion.
Driving momentum with electric vehicles (EV)
As concerns continue to grow about rapid urbanisation and air pollution caused by transportation, all of which contribute to global warming, governments are passing regulations on CO2 and other vehicular emissions. In turn, the industry is pursuing long-term programs to transition their product portfolios to include more electric powertrains and other green technologies. But It’s not enough for the automotive industry to focus on EV powertrain technology. For more consumers to purchase these cars and for more logistics companies to invest in electric vehicles for their commercial fleets, some significant roadblocks such as high initial costs, limited battery range, high charging times and limited charging networks will have to be removed. That’s why at PwC, we believe in working as a community of solvers — together with automakers, public utilities, city planners, building developers, battery suppliers and government leaders — to create an ecosystem approach that combines human ingenuity with intelligent technologies.

Connecting people and information to create better experiences
Changing behaviors and emerging technologies — like intelligent cloud-based data analytics platforms and high speed connectivity networks — are fundamentally shifting the way people and goods move and what we know about it. Vehicles, infrastructure, public transportation, and even pedestrians are producing data on their locations, transactions, and interactions. But as big data in mobility continues to evolve, who owns this data? Are car manufacturers, public and private sector infrastructure and mobility providers, and policymakers and technology providers fully utilising that data to create better mobility experiences? This raises issues regarding cybersecurity, the role of government, data ownership, privacy and protection, and OEM responsibilities that will all demand increasing attention — and consensus.

City environments, upgraded
As populations swell in urban centers, so too does the level of congestion, accidents and pollution. But increasingly, by taking a shared, cross-industry ecosystem approach to urban mobility planning and leveraging new technological solutions, PwC professionals can help solve these challenges. Potential solutions include public transportation improvements, more efficient supply chains and last mile mobility — helping people and goods get from point A to B in ways that are safer, cleaner, accessible and affordable. Through multi-modal systems that combine private and public transport with intelligent traffic networks, infrastructure upgrades, and supportive regulation, urban mobility can keep people and goods moving.
