Data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) reveals that the transport sector is responsible for approximately 24% of global CO² emissions, which corresponds to 36.8 billion tons. This volume brings to light the discussion of the 2030 window, regarding the urgent need for changes to mitigate environmental impacts and improve quality of life, such as the issue of urban mobility. Mobs2, scale-up specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) and adaptive education solutions, points out that the search for more sustainable and intelligent alternatives is driving the adoption of solutions that not only reduce pollutant gas emissions but also make cities more connected, efficient, and safe.
In this scenario, Rebeca Bezerra, co-founder and partner-director at Mobs2 highlights the five main trends that will shape mobility in 2025 and positively impact the environment:
- Automation and advanced telemetry
- With increasingly higher costs, companies will need to invest in technologies that enable smarter and more automated fleet management. Advanced telemetry will continue to be the primary tool for monitoring vehicle performance and identifying points of savings, such as fuel consumption and preventive maintenance.
Continuous education to reduce costs
Driver qualification will be a crucial differentiator in 2025. It’s of little use to have vast amounts of data if the vehicle operator is not properly trained. Therefore, training drivers to adopt defensive and fuel-efficient driving practices can lead to significant reductions in fuel consumption and part wear. Moreover, well-prepared drivers help avoid accidents and other unforeseen costs.
Sustainability
With rising operational costs and pressure to reduce carbon footprints, sustainable practices gain prominence. Route optimization, the use of clean and alternative fuels, and fleet modernization with more efficient vehicles can help companies maintain their competitiveness in an increasingly demanding market.
Data integration and Artificial Intelligence
The use of AI and big data analysis will allow organizations to better understand their fleet behaviors and make more assertive decisions. The integration of telemetry with Artificial Intelligence tools will be essential for predicting issues, planning maintenance, and optimizing operations.
Smart infrastructure
Smart transportation infrastructure will be one of the major transformations by 2025. Sensors, connected traffic lights, and integrated public transport systems will create a more efficient network, connecting vehicles, roads, and control centers. These systems can optimize traffic flow and improve the quality of public transport while promoting the use of electric vehicles and sustainable technologies. For companies, this infrastructure will enable seamless integration between electric fleets and mass transit solutions, creating a more efficient, safe, and sustainable ecosystem.
“The trends we are observing this year go beyond technological innovation. They represent a true transformation in urban mobility. The challenge is to find the balance between efficiency, sustainability, and safety, creating more connected and accessible cities for all,” concludes Rebeca Bezerra.
