Our Roadmaps

This roadmap provides a resource for automotive industrial strategy planning, helping to build synergies across its interfaces with the wider transport system.

This roadmap aims to highlight the current and future mobility landscape, highlighting key trends and drivers which are expected to shape automotive road transport for the movement of people.

ICE will remain at the forefront of technology to 2040 and beyond, but the fuels that they burn will change radically over this time period as we progress rapidly towards net zero.

The development of lithium-ion batteries has accelerated over recent years with many previously forecasted developments happening sooner than was considered feasible.

The demand for electric motors continues to increase as global legislation drives the adoption of low- and zero-emission vehicles requiring electrified powertrains.

Power electronics play a key role in the automotive sector, and will continue to do so especially as the sector transitions to a net zero future.

Global events, supply-chain vulnerabilities and environmental concerns are prompting government and industry to change what materials are used and how they are sourced.

The advancement of technologies in this area has progressed rapidly in recent years, with policy and environment concerns driving the automotive industry to decarbonise.
