eVTOL Insights to moderate panel at MOVE 2022 on integrating Advanced Air Mobility into connected transport

eVTOL Insights will be attend­ing MOVE 2022 at Lon­don’s ExCeL from June 15th — 16th, where Exec­u­tive Edi­tor Jason Pritchard will mod­er­ate a pan­el on how Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty can be inte­grat­ed into con­nect­ed trans­port.

MOVE is a spe­cialised and focused event ded­i­cat­ed to mobil­i­ty, not an add on to a tech or elec­tron­ics show. It will fea­ture more than 600 speak­ers, 5,000 atten­dees, over 350 exhibitors, 250 star­tups, 33 con­fer­ence stages, inter­ac­tive round­ta­bles and peer-to-peer net­work­ing.

It is where dis­rup­tive tech­nol­o­gy and inno­va­tion dri­ve change with OEMs, trans­port oper­a­tors, tech com­pa­nies, ener­gy com­pa­nies, fast-grow­ing star­tups and pol­i­cy­mak­ers gath­er­ing to dis­cov­er next gen­er­a­tion tech­nolo­gies being brought into the mar­ket­place.

As part of this year’s event, MOVE has cre­at­ed an AIR + Water sec­tion, with pre­sen­ta­tions and pan­els to add more detail to emerg­ing tech­nolo­gies such as eVTOL air­craft. It will start on June 16th from 11.05am, with Andy Wall, Coun­tries Man­ag­er at PAV‑V Fly­ing Cars, giv­ing a 25-minute pre­sen­ta­tion enti­tled ‘Reg­u­la­tion and Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion: How far are we from an eVTOL World?’. Kai-Tse Lin, co-founder and Chief of Oper­a­tions at Bell­wether Indus­tries, will then talk at 11.30am about ‘An ele­va­tion of dimen­sion and cul­ture to day-to-day mobil­i­ty’.

From 11.55am — 12.20pm, Yasuhio Soshi­no, Direc­tor of the Inter­na­tion­al Med­ical Relief Depart­ment at Japan­ese Red Cross Kumamo­to Hos­pi­tal will give a pre­sen­ta­tion called ‘The Ambu­lance Drone Project: How drones can save rur­al areas in case of nat­ur­al dis­as­ters.

Jason will then mod­er­ate the first pan­el, which is between 12.20pm and 2.30pm, with Tim John­son, Pol­i­cy and Strat­e­gy Direc­tor at the UK’s Civ­il Avi­a­tion Author­i­ty, Sam Mor­ris­sey, Exec­u­tive Direc­tor at Urban Move­ment Labs and Andrew Chad­wick, Avi­a­tion Tech­nol­o­gy Inno­va­tion Lead at Con­nect­ed Places Cat­a­pult.

This pan­el will be fol­lowed by anoth­er ses­sion which will be called ‘Ver­ti­ports: Cre­at­ing the infra­struc­ture for eVTOL trans­port’. It will fea­ture Alex McCord, Ver­ti­port Plan­ning Lead at Sky­ports and Mar­tin Reeves, Chief Exec­u­tive of Coven­try City Coun­cil, with Jere­my Kahn, Senior Writer at For­tune, mod­er­at­ing.

The final ses­sions, which are from 3.20pm — 4.20pm will move to the ground and focus on water trans­port, start­ing with a pan­el dis­cussing the future of pub­lic trav­el on water, to pre­sen­ta­tions on build­ing the UK’s first hybrid high-speed pas­sen­ger fer­ries and hydro­foil boats, with the route to net-zero mass trans­porta­tion.

Oth­er sec­tions of MOVE include Elec­tric Cars, where the auto­mo­tive industry’s giants will debate what the future holds for the per­son­al elec­tric vehi­cle. The mod­ern auto­mo­tive sup­ply chain is being reshaped to unblock bot­tle­necks and ensure last­ing strength and resilience.

The lat­est in cut­ting-edge trans­port tech­nol­o­gy will be fea­tured, includ­ing data ana­lyt­ics, start-up pro­grammes and city and OEM inno­va­tion strate­gies. The Autonomous Vehi­cles track will show­case progress from lev­el 3 auton­o­my to lev­els 4 and 5.

The map­ping track will dis­cuss lat­est advances in data col­lec­tion, map­ping and dig­i­tal twins. Mobil­i­ty as a Ser­vice (MaaS) will cov­er how cities are work­ing with tech­nol­o­gy providers to inter­con­nect trans­port modes.

Busi­ness mod­els will help under­stand­ing of how more dynam­ic part­ner­ships can be formed in the light of chang­ing mobil­i­ty own­er­ship struc­tures. The issues sur­round­ing new mobil­i­ty insur­ance will be high­light­ed at the reg­u­la­to­ry land­scape.

Ener­gy and charg­ing will focus on how cities and ener­gy com­pa­nies are part­ner­ing to dri­ve the surge of EV infra­struc­ture around the world, as well as wire­less and pop up charg­ing and elec­tric roads.

Del­e­gates will hear how new bat­tery chemistries and mate­ri­als are dri­ving lighter and longer last­ing bat­ter­ies. They will also hear how bio­fu­els, hydro­gen and Liq­uid Nat­ur­al Gas (LNG) are con­tribut­ing to a clean ener­gy future.

They will also hear best-in-class case stud­ies of new trans­port plan­ning, dig­i­tal high­ways and hubs and smart infra­struc­ture design. They will see lead­ing inno­va­tions in traf­fic man­age­ment, enforce­ment, arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI) and smart sig­nage.

Glob­al smart city lead­ers will dis­cuss their lat­est mobil­i­ty projects and how they ensure cit­i­zens buy in. They will also hear how cycling and active mobil­i­ty lead­ers are rid­ing this momen­tum to dri­ve change.

MaaS providers will fea­ture the world’s most inno­v­a­tive bus strate­gies and tech­nol­o­gy, while the cru­cial role of metro rail will be with infra­struc­ture, mul­ti­modal part­ner­ships and improved pas­sen­ger flow.

Tick­et­ing, rev­enue and pay­ments will be designed for mul­ti­modal trans­port, while used cars have become the next e‑commerce bat­tle­ground, with car rental com­pa­nies, deal­er­ships and online retail­ers carv­ing out their place.

Del­e­gates will hear the lat­est in elec­tric and hydro­gen fuel cell trucks, dynam­ic rout­ing, autonomous tech­nol­o­gy and ‘pla­toon­ing’. Fleet and deliv­ery lead­ers will dis­cuss how elec­tri­fi­ca­tion, route opti­mi­sa­tion and smart deliv­er­ies are reduc­ing emis­sions and con­ges­tion.

As part of our involve­ment at MOVE, we are able to offer­ing 10 free tick­ets to the event. Any­one inter­est­ed can email Jason at editorial@evtolinsights.com. This will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
