London's recent two-day MOVE exhibition on urban mobility featured everything from electric cars and delivery vans to scooters, family tricycles cycle-hire operators and ride hail on-demand companies.There were dozens of start-up companies offering a myriad of fleet management solutions, drone delivery, traffic data management platforms and electric vehicle charging systems. The exhibition hall was alive with the youthful enthusiasm of young employees who believe that they and their products can make a real improvement in urban mobility. They can help make cities more liveable, with cleaner air and more green spaces. And do this while having fun getting around in. Also exhibiting was Volvo Construction Equipment. The company had a zero tail-swing electric excavator ECR25 on their stand. Meanwhile, their latest all-electric wheeled loader L25 was in the demonstration area, trundling around among electric scooters, delivery and rental bicycles and autonomous urban tricycles. But what on earth is a global construction equipment manufacturer doing at an urban mobility solutions exhibition? Excavator operators don't drive home in their machines and use them for pleasure for the weekend. |
