The webinar saw senior Nissan executives examine the role of sustainable transport solutions
The pivotal role of electrification and smart mobility in creating a sustainable future took centre stage at ‘Electrification & the Future of Mobility’, a virtual session hosted by Nissan recently as part of the Expo 2020 Dubai’s Climate and Biodiversity Week.
“With a focus on opportunity, mobility and sustainability, Expo 2020 is a key platform to facilitate these discussions amongst thought leaders. We look forward to sharing our expertise and working towards the joint development of sustainable mobility ecosystems that benefit local communities,” explained Guillaume Cartier, Vice Chairman and SVP, Marketing and Sales, Nissan AMIEO and President, Nissan AMI.
“Making the switch to an electric vehicle is an absolute necessity if we want our world to shift to a low-carbon economy. While every single stakeholder has a role to play in building, the right infrastructure and scaling up electric mobility with engagement is key,” noted Friederike Kienitz, Regional VP Legal, External Governmental Affairs and Communications, Nissan AMIEO.
The discussion concluded with insights from Francisco Carranza, Managing Director, Nissan Energy, who discussed how vehicle-to-grid technology is key to unlocking the full potential of electric vehicles, while educating attendees on common misconceptions and consumer questions related to EV usage and clean mobility.
