Marc Alochet - Technological breaks and industry dynamics. The transition towards electro-mobility .
Report of the Gerpisa monthly seminar. Report of the Journée n° 256: Marc Alochet, Polytechnique, i3-CRG, " Technological breakthroughs and the dynamics of an industry, the transition to electromobility ".
Marc Alochet intervenes at the Journées du Gerpisa. This year, they focus on how the Covid-19 crisis is changing the trends that were already present in the auto industry, including electrification.
His starting point is the fact that electrification is on the move. However, this is not a voluntary transition. As we saw the previous Journée with Tommaso Pardi, there is strong regulatory pressure on manufacturers by the European Union. Other elements must also be taken into account, such as the suppression of internal combustion vehicles in city centres, or carbon neutrality objectives in certain cities. For example, over the last 2-3 years, most manufacturers have started manufacturing electric vehicles (EVs). These will be available on a massive scale around 2022. read more
