The world is changing, and these changes affect the way people get around. Technological innovations, the fight against climate change, new societal needs, and more recently the COVID-19 pandemic have completely reshaped #mobility. The latest episode of #seat S.A.’s #podcast Moving Forward explores these new trends with #seat MÓ Managing Director Lucas Casasnovas and John Moavenzadeh, Executive Director of Urban #mobility at MIT.

Mobility after COVID-19. COVID-19 has not only changed our lives, it has also influenced the way we get around. “The situation today is completely different from before COVID-19” explains Lucas Casasnovas. “The pandemic has accelerated the changes in #mobility for 2025-2030 that we predicted in 2018” he adds. For John Moavenzadeh, this change is a logical consequence: “An interesting way to frame the question is not how did COVID-19 change #mobility, but how did COVID-19 change things for which we use #mobility. #mobility means being able to quickly and easily access essential services for society such as workplaces, educational establishments or healthcare facilities.”

The road to electrification. Long before the pandemic, electrification was one of the key trends in #mobility, but Moavenzadeh insists there is still a long way to go, with the improvement of charging infrastructures as the main challenge: “We need to create a public-private electric charging infrastructure so that the landscape of transport systems can make the switch to electricity.” In this sense, Casasnovas adds two more challenges: “People will have to get used to the idea of driving electric cars and commit to shared electric #mobility.”
