Digitalisation of Industry, Infrastructure, and E-Mobility

Digitalisation of industry, vehicles, planes, infrastructure, services leads to new system and software architectures, new standards to be followed, new uses cases, new service models, and so forth. The EU Blueprint project DRIVES came up with a set of major drivers of change which are used below as thematic paper topics. 

DRIVES (2018 - 2021) is a large EU project which implements the vision of GEAR 2030. Gear 2030 is a strategy pannel in Brussels where the association of car manufacturers in Europe and the association of all Automotive suppliers in Europe share an expert team to develop the vision of the future skills / job roles needed for the Automotive industry till 2030. The year 2030 marks a corner stone where cars are driving in a networked infrastructure and cars are developed with so much intellegence, electronics, sensors and software to offer self driving. Moreover, it is planned to network the entire infrastructure, with a production in an industry 4.0 environment and on the air uploads to update cars constantly. Also new energy concepts are planned to provide enough electric power and new service and business models are created. And new chemical and material research is done to allow leight weight vehicles, and vehicles that can reload batteries during drive etc. Members of DRIVES will share exeriences with contributing parties, and experts contribution papers can share their ideas with GEAR 2030 and DRIVES. DRIVES is continued by the Blueprint FLAMENCO (2022-2024) that established an Automotive Skills Alliance in Europe as the pact for skills partner in the automotive sector. And the new Blueprint TRIREME (2024-2028) started to support the future green mobility skills related strategy of Europe wide upskilling and reskilling.
