Innovate UK seek feedback to their vision for the UK transport system in 2050
01 September 2021
Innovate UK recently launched a new study which outlined its vision for the UK transport system in 2050.
The report, UK Transport Vision 2050: Investing in the future of mobility, said, “Our vision is for a 2050 transport system that enables the movement of people and goods from one location to another through seamless, safe, net zero, connected, cost effective, accessible and reliable means.
“The transport system will maximise use of UK design, innovation, manufacturing and deployment. Industry will provide high-quality and skilled employment and remain a major contributor to UK GDP and to UK innovation”.
It also highlighted the following trends:
- The powering of transport in the future will radically change, bringing significant opportunities and risk for UK design, production and supply chains.
- Electricity, hydrogen, ammonia and sustainable fuel will replace petroleum and create new opportunities for generation, production and distribution.
- Greater connectivity, autonomous systems, new business models and robotics will transform transport.
Innovate UK is seeking feedback to help refine and improve this vision – you can have your say here.
Chief executive officer at Innovate UK Indro Mukerjee said, "We will use this vision and our assessment of the UK’s relative strengths to determine where we invest our efforts over the coming years.
"We hope it will also inform and guide our partners in the public sector and in industry when they are making their investment decisions.
"We also welcome feedback to help us refine and improve this work."
