FISITA 2010 World Automotive Congress May 29, 2010

For sixty years the biennial FISITA World Automotive Congress has provided the platform for the worlds engineers and specialists to come together to exchange ideas and advance the state-of the- art in automotive technology.

Throughout this time, the Congress has tackled each of the important issues facing engineers in the design, development, manufacture and use of automobiles. Today the global automotive industry is confronted with the greatest series of challenges in its history. Engineers are being asked to dramatically reduce the environmental impact of vehicles, and improve safety, without sacrificing any of the comfort, features or driving pleasure which todays customers take for granted. Not only that, but we must do it quickly and in ways which are practical and affordable enough to be integrated into the millions of new vehicles which will soon be on the roads of the fast growing markets like China, India, Russia and Brazil. Hence our theme for FISITA 2010 of Automobiles and Sustainable Mobility.

The technical solutions needed to square this circle, in terms of alternative power sources, new materials, approaches to testing & development, advanced electronics and a connected approach to personal mobility, will have to be more radical than anything in the evolution of the automobile so far. Success will also depend upon greater cooperation among the worlds engineers and automotive companies.
