He also presented Spain’s current challenges in mobility, focusing on the safety of vehicles with less than four wheels and pedestrians, on the transport of goods due to the boom in the online ordering business, and on adapting to the culture of carpooling and the demands of young people in terms of sustainability.
He also highlighted Spain’ s excellence in Road Safety, Infrastructure and Automotive and the pending issue of uniting all this to change the concept of «traffic» to «mobility». He also unveiled the DGT’s big bet: the connected car.
