CTAG: EV & 5G Networks, a Winning Combo for Tomorrow Transportation
Mobility is key for any urban area, and sustainable, efficient modes of public transport have long been the measure of a well-developed city. As the pressure to reach carbon neutrality mounts, electric vehicles stand out as one of the most popular routes for the future of transport. Alongside electrification, the 5G network is also expected to shape the transportation systems of tomorrow. Here to talk with us about an innovative and sustainable mobility solution is Francisco Sánchez Pons, Director of Electronics and Smart Mobility at the Automotive Technology Centre of Galicia.
