When most people think of Pininfarina, images of Ferrari and Alfa Romeo might spring to mind, but the Mahindra company wants to bring its long and impressive automotive expertise to electric vehicles (EVs). The question is, what can it bring to the table? The answer lies with its pedigree, passion, and expertise.
The Autonomy conference in Paris is special in that it features diverse panels of experts focused on everything from electric cars to electric scooters and bikes to electric aviation to city planning. A group discussion moderated by CleanTechnica Director Zachary Shahan considered how cities and governments around the world could promote, support, and protect two-wheelers in the city.
In 4 days, on Wednesday, October 17, I will be presenting and moderating panels about the EV revolution during AVERE’s AEC2018 conference. In the opening plenary, I will open up the conference with four EV leaders with diverse expertise and surely useful insight to share. Here’s the opening lineup:
The two largest public transportation companies serving Paris and its surrounding areas — Îl de France Mobilités and RATP — have embarked on a bold new initiative to make all the buses in their fleets zero emissions by 2025.
A new electric shuttle utilizing an “ultrafast” charging system — one that simply recharges itself for brief periods when passengers are boarding at stations — has been deployed in Singapore.
The city-state of Singapore just launched its first mass-scale electric carsharing program — a service intended to comprise a fleet of around 1,000 cars and 2,000 charging points by 2020.
One of the coolest events in the world — Autonomy — is coming up in a couple of weeks in Paris (that’s in France, in case you haven’t heard of the city). I will be moderating two discussions there, but not the typical EV industry or solar industry stuff that I’m often tapped for.
We’ve been rather discretely rolling out cleantech consumer buying guides, which we’ll be continuously updating and improving as time goes on. The first resource page (found at products.cleantechnica.com) covers current electric cars for sale (or soon coming to market) in North America and Europe.
Following the launch of the BlueIndy electric vehicle carsharing program in Indianapolis last year, Bollore Group will soon be launching a similar service in Los Angeles.
