In the National Platform Future of Mobility, experts from all parts of society are represented in order to jointly develop a strategy for affordable, competitive and sustainable mobility. A sustainable transport system does not restrict mobility, it should enable more mobility with less traffic and less environmental pollution. Digitalisation in the transport sector holds the potential to turn the transformation of the mobility system into an innovative boost for our economy, to meet individual mobility needs better than before – especially in regions that have thus far been underserved and geared to the needs of an ageing society – to make a contribution to climate and environmental protection and to increase road safety. Digitalisation may, for example, make the flexible use of different modes of transport (multi-modality) and the change between different modes of transport during a journey (inter-modality) more convenient and user-friendly in the future. This will make it easier to switch from private cars to more environmentally-friendly alternatives. I am therefore very pleased that the WG 3 highlights this topic in its first interim report and points out the potential and needs for action. Thus, it makes an important contribution to the holistic consideration of mobility in the NPM.
