while no-one can predict the future, it’s safe to say the future of
mobility is versatile: from using different means of transportation in a
single trip or to travel the same road, to becoming more sustainable.
While this evolution is reshaping the outlook of mobility, it also
offers the opportunity to make mobility more fun.
