Mobility of the future

The Deau­ville Motor Show is much more than just a gath­er­ing for enthu­si­asts of fine motor­ing: it’s a show­case for the devel­op­ments and innov­a­tions that are rede­fin­ing the future of mobil­ity. Faced with the chal­lenges of the envir­on­ment and the energy trans­ition, man­u­fac­tur­ers are vying with each oth­er to come up with ingeni­ous solu­tions that are clean­er, smarter and more efficient.

Electrification at the heart of developments

The rise of 100% elec­tric vehicles is undeniable:

• Improved range thanks to new-gen­er­a­tion bat­ter­ies (sol­id, lith­i­um-sul­phur, sodium-ion).
• Ultra-fast rechar­ging: high-power sta­tions, wire­less rechar­ging and bid­irec­tion­al rechar­ging solu­tions (V2G).
• New mod­els ran­ging from com­pact city cars to ultra-high-per­form­ance elec­tric hypercars.

Hydrogen: a promising alternative

While elec­tric vehicles dom­in­ate the mar­ket, hydro­gen is play­ing an increas­ingly import­ant role. At the show, fuel cell vehicles will be demon­strat­ing their poten­tial, par­tic­u­larly for :

• Heavy-duty vehicles (trucks, buses, vans) requir­ing great­er range and short­er rechar­ging times.
• Pro­fes­sion­al fleets and tax­is, where hydro­gen offers high effi­ciency over long distances.
• Mobile rechar­ging sta­tions tailored to the spe­cif­ic needs of busi­nesses and loc­al authorities.

Autonomous and connected vehicles: towards intelligent driving

Advances in autonom­ous driv­ing and con­nec­ted vehicles:

• Cars equipped with arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence cap­able of ana­lys­ing the envir­on­ment in real time.
• V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) com­mu­nic­a­tion sys­tems for seam­less inter­ac­tion between vehicles, ped­es­tri­ans and infrastructure.
• Demon­stra­tions of autonom­ous shuttles, a concept that is devel­op­ing in urb­an envir­on­ments and on private sites.

Towards more sustainable, multimodal mobility

The new trends go bey­ond powertrains:

• Micro-mobil­ity, with elec­tric bikes and scoot­ers integ­rated into urb­an trans­port solutions.
• Syn­thet­ic fuels and bioen­er­gies, which could pro­long the future of intern­al com­bus­tion engines in a more envir­on­ment­ally-friendly form.
• Shar­ing and mobil­ity on demand, with plat­forms offer­ing self-ser­vice vehicles tailored to users’ needs.

With an approach that com­bines tech­no­logy, eco­logy and innov­a­tion, the Deau­ville Motor Show is posi­tioned as a ver­it­able labor­at­ory for the trans­port of the future.
