About the Event

In the difficult time of the Covid 19 Pandemic, our “Mobilty Disruption Panel” scheduled live last April will now happen on Zoom on September 2nd, 2020 from 6.00pm to 7.30pm PST. The event will be free.

We refocused the event around the theme of how COVID-19 affects the evolution of mobility.

Our Panel will address the questions that arose from the pandemic: 

  • How are new mobility players adapting their business model? (Concept, Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain)
  • How does the shared vehicle concept evolve to accommodate for protection recommendations? (Contactless, distancing, Self driving vehicles)
  • How are transportation players optimizing their solutions? (Flexibilization, Flat-bed/Top Hat concept…)

3 experts have kindly accepted to participate to our Panel discussion:

  • Marc Amblard, Managing Director, Orsay Consulting, Strategic Advisor on Mobility
  • Gilbert Passin, Chief Operating Officer, Wrightspeed, Former VP Manufacturing at Tesla
