19 decarbonisation, lightweight technologies, and advanced materials. Pierre Leclercq, Design Director at Citroën, presented the Citroën Oli electric car concept designed with recyclable parts and extended lifespans, and on display at the Automotive Day. “We’re starting to have cars that will live longer. Cars that we will refurbish and readapt, and that also changes the way we design,” he stated. Alain Blau, CFO at the national rail operator CFL highlighted the increasing multimodal offering in Luxembourg, which includes its recent autonomous electric shuttle, new rail lines, the Flex carsharing system for companies, a new bicycle strategy under development and more. Baudouin Gomot, Gasoline Advanced Component Application Manager at Phinia, brought attention to new hydrogen combustion engines under development in its Luxembourg Tech Centre. EU’s Commitment to sustainable mobility Aziz Belaouda, Valeo External Affairs and Sustainable Development Group Manager EGVIA for 2ZERO, emphasised to EUs commitment to multimodal, cohesive, efficient and integrated transport networks and its policy approach for sustainable mobility backed by the Green Deal and several pioneering initiatives like Horizon Europe, and legislative instruments like the Fit for 55 package and the European Climate law. “The EU has committed to investing in research and innovation. Through programmes like horizon Europe, funding is being funnelled to develop more efficient vehicles, intelligent transport systems and greener fuels for the hard-to-abate sectors. Digitalisation plays a pivotal role in the EU sustainable mobility blueprints. Technologies like 5G and artificial intelligence are being leveraged to create smart cities where traffic flows are optimised, pollution is monitored in real time, and public transport is more responsive to user needs,” he explained. The EU aims to have 30 million zero-emission vehicles by 2030, and has pledged at least €1 trillion in sustainable investments in the coming decade. Technology demonstrations, guided tours, company visits The Automotive Day included a roundtable discussion, technology demonstrations, and company visits to key sites, including the CFL intermodal terminal, TotalEnergies Hydrogen Refuelling Station, Sustainable Composite Materials & Manufacturing Innovation Centre (SCMM), Gradel Lightweight, and a guided tour of the Belval blast furnaces. “One mission of the cluster is to turn ideas into viable collaborative projects with expertise from company, research and public sector,” asserted Anthony Auert, Automobility Cluster Manager at Luxinnovation. He highlighted the already existing Mobility Innovation Campus in Bissen, and the future mobility incubator set to launch in 2024. “Luxinnovation is one of the founding members of Autoregion, the first European Cross Border Automotive Cluster grouping four regions and representing dozens of companies. This network enables cross-country fertilization leading to world class products and services. A strong collaboration between the neighbouring regions is more than ever important to overcome the challenges we are facing daily,” he concluded.
