A desire for improved speed, comfort and convenience, combined with the need to adapt to meet climate change targets has led to rapid advances in automotive aerospace and defence technologies. Developments in these sectors are vital in maintaining and enhancing national security, as well as providing commercial and personal benefits.
The transport sector accounts for almost 30% of global energy consumption. In recent years, the desire to reduce harmful emissions has become front and centre. New innovations in energy sources have become vital, as governments mandate ever stricter environmental regulations.
Much of the innovation in this sector is centred on the vehicles themselves, with airlines and aviation innovators, motorcycle and automobile manufacturers and aquatic vehicle manufacturers forming a large portion of the sector. However, this industry also comprises related technologies and the supply chain, including shipping and fleet management, autonomous and unmanned vehicles, navigation and communications systems, security modules, asset management and tracking, and more.
