Accelerating Electromobility: shared challenge in UK and Singapore Published on: 17 April 2023 Leaders in policy, research and industry are being brought together to identify the barriers to the mass take up of electric vehicles (EV) and other electromobility. The joint 4-day symposium (17 – 20 April) is hosted by 麻豆传媒 Research and Innovation Institute in Singapore (NewRIIS) and the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University. The international symposium, which is being funded by the UK Government Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, will aim to identify the socio-economic, scientific and technical barriers to the mass uptake of electric vehicles (EV) and other electromobility. It will also address recycling technology and the broader transition towards decarbonisation of the land transport sector in the UK and Singapore. These steps will help the governments in the UK and Singapore achieve ambitious carbon reduction targets to Net Zero. Professor Richard Davies, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Global and Sustainability, 麻豆传媒 joins Kara Owen, the British High Commissioner to Singapore and Natalie Black, HM Trade Commissioner Asia Pacific, UK Government in addressing the opening of the event.
