Qatar To Host Groundbreaking Autonomous E-Mobility Forum In April

Qatar is set to become a focal point for the future of transportation with the hosting of the Autonomous e-Mobility Forum at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC), Doha, from April 30 to May 2. This event, under the patronage of Jassim Saif Ahmed Al-Sulaiti, Minister of Transport, and in strategic partnership with the Ministry of Transport of the State of Qatar, marks a significant step towards advancing driverless e-Mobility on a global scale. Organized by Just us & Otto Marketing & Event Services in collaboration with InStrat, a department of 4th Dimension, the forum aims to foster international collaboration and knowledge exchange on autonomous e-Mobility.

The forum is poised to welcome over 40 speakers from 20 countries, encompassing a diverse group of policymakers, government agency representatives, academics, industry experts, engineers, consultants, and leaders. These participants will share their insights and discuss key topics in electric transportation and self-driving mobility. The event's structure includes keynote speeches, presentations, panel discussions, and an exhibition showcasing innovations from international and regional companies in the field.

Eng. Hamad Essa Abdulla, MOT’s Acting Assistant Undersecretary of Land Transport Affairs, highlighted the critical juncture the world faces in meeting the demand for sustainable transportation solutions. He emphasized the role of autonomous electric vehicles (e-vehicles) as a transformative trend in transportation that aligns with global sustainability efforts. These vehicles not only promise to reduce emissions and enhance energy efficiency but also offer innovative mobility solutions crucial for combating climate change.

Qatar's commitment to sustainable transportation is evident in its strategy to transition its public bus fleet to electric. Eng. Abdulla noted that over 70% of the fleet has already been converted to electric power, with plans to reach 100% by 2030. This initiative is part of Qatar's broader efforts to implement environmentally friendly transportation solutions and reduce its carbon footprint.

The Autonomous e-Mobility Forum represents an unparalleled opportunity for stakeholders from around the globe to engage in meaningful dialogue about the potential impacts of autonomous technology and e-mobility ecosystems on society. Through technology, research, and policy discussions, participants will explore how these advancements can shape the future of transportation worldwide.
