Mobility is entering a new age of innovation. A combination of technological advancements, regulatory changes, and shifts in consumer behaviour shaping the future of mobility. Mobility will become a more interconnected, efficient, and sustainable transportation ecosystem. We will see improvements in the overall quality and safety of transportation services while minimising negative environmental and social impacts.
The future of mobility challenges the status quo. Technological, environmental, economic, and social developments are reshaping how we think about mobility and revolutionise the way we move.
TÜV SÜD supports you with comprehensive services to ensure regulatory compliance, safety and security of your future mobility technologies and solutions.
Connected and autonomous driving solutions represent the convergence of advanced technologies to transform the traditional driving experience.
Autonomous driving is the force behind intelligent mobility solutions, where intelligent vehicles navigate independently without human intervention. Autonomous vehicles promise to improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and increase mobility accessibility by using advanced sensors and software, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. AI-enabled efficient driving will minimise emissions while anticipating maintenance needs. Consequently, car breakdowns are likely to become a thing of the past.
Connected and smart mobility solutions create a dynamic and responsive ecosystem that complements the autonomous driving paradigm. The seamless communication and flow of information between connected mobility systems is essential for the safe and efficient operation of autonomous vehicles in a complex and ever-changing urban environment.
The safe and secure operation of connected and autonomous driving solutions is key for their future adoption. Even after regular software updates this must be ensured. A combination of physical and scenario-based testing is therefore required. Cybersecurity must also be considered to reduce the potential for malicious exploitation of intelligent vehicles and transport systems.
This trend not only affects standard vehicles, but it also plays a crucial role in other transport solutions such as delivery robots or robotic solutions in the logistics sector.
TÜV SÜD helps you ensure a safe and smooth market introduction of automated technologies for connected and autonomous driving solutions. We support you with type approval and homologation of your highly automated vehicles.
E-mobility solutions are a transformative response to the zero-emissions targets set by governments around the world in response to climate change and global warming.
Widespread adoption of e-mobility depends on efficient battery technologies that improve quality, range, charging times, and overall performance. The availability of a robust and standardised charging infrastructure, recycling and disposal processes for batteries and other components, are crucial for minimising environmental impact.
In addition to passenger cars, e-mobility solutions cover a wide range of other transport modes, including electric bicycles, buses, scooters and trams. The integration of smart grids and renewable energy sources enhances the overall sustainability and efficiency of e-mobility solutions, contributing to a sustainable transition.
TÜV SÜD helps you to effectively launch electric vehicle technologies in global markets. This includes battery testing, training on battery regulations and the use of high-voltage components, testing and certification of charging infrastructure, and full vehicle homologation.
As we drive clean transport innovation to meet stringent global emission reduction regulations, the exploration of alternative fuel options becomes paramount.
Hydrogen mobility is emerging as a promising solution. This uses hydrogen as a clean fuel for vehicles, particularly in fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and vehicles with internal hydrogen combustion engines (H2-ICE). In combination with other technologies, such as batteries or fuel cells, it offers potential to provide a holistic sustainable mobility approach.
Ongoing advances in hydrogen mobility have the potential to revolutionise road transport and the rail industry. As hydrogen has a high energy density and fast refuelling times it overcomes some battery electric vehicles limitations. This has attracted attention for heavy-duty transport applications such as buses, trucks, and trains, where long-range capabilities and reduced emissions are critical. However, new future of mobility solutions that use hydrogen must be safe and comply with existing and new regulations, depending on the type of solution and vehicle.
TÜV SÜD offers comprehensive testing and certification services across the hydrogen value chain. From green production to transportation, safe storage, components, and infrastructure, we provide expertise at every stage. Our holistic approach ensures the integrity, safety, and efficiency of hydrogen technologies. We are also filling the blanks in the normative and regulatory framework, by leading technical committees on the international level, by developing new TÜV specifications for allowing hydrogen-specific product certifications.
