The future of sustainable Mobility as a Service

Read more

Steel E-Motive is developing virtual concepts for fully autonomous mobility-as-a-service solutions (MaaS), with a safe, convenient, and comfortable user experience at the core of its design. Cost-effective, safe, and sustainable – our design is enabled by state-of-the-art engineering and Advanced High-Strength Steel technologies.

With more countries committing to net zero emissions by 2050, it is important that future transportation solutions address this problem. Autonomous vehicles provide a step in the right direction whereas ride sharing will undoubtedly be a game changer with regards to sustainability.

Steel E-Motive is delighted to partner with Zemo to sponsor this year’s 20th anniversary event, where we will reveal how Steel E-Motive concept designs and Advanced Steel technologies create sustainable solutions across the full product life cycle for Mobility Service Providers and the communities they serve. We look forward to meeting everyone joining us.

Flat and Flush On street EV Charging

Read more

Trojan Energy was formed in 2016 with one mission: to ensure everyone benefits from the energy transition. With total focus on enabling the switch to eMobility, the company has developed the Trojan Electric Vehicle Charging System. A system that finally offers an equal chance for EV drivers without a driveway to charge effectively at home, while eliminating residual clutter on the pavement. A system that doesn't require municipal authorities to zone off parking spaces and gives network operators the ability to manage power demand in real time. A system smart enough to offer a convenient way to charge that's greener, cheaper, more immediate - or a combination of all three - at up to 22kW. A system that delivers flat and flush chargepoints in hubs of up to fifteen, or single units powered by the home, to leave the streetscape uncluttered for everyone. Trojan Energy wants to give drivers the confidence, convenience and practicality they need to go electric.
