Drive Sweden joins International Communication and Cooperation Committee of ICV Roadmaps

In recent years, organizations and governments from China, Europe, Japan, US, and other countries and regions have released diverse ICV roadmaps, playing an important role in driving the development of future transport systems.

International collaboration has the potential to maximize our combined efforts in creating connected, efficient, safe and more sustainable systems. So on the 7th of June, the International Communication and Cooperation Committee of ICV Roadmaps was launched. The cooperation has the goal to promote international communication, conduct joint research, and boost multi-lateral collaboration among the different roadmaps.

The committee will conduct the communication and discussion of the ICV roadmaps among different countries and regions in the future, as well as promote cross-regional cooperation and intensify a global development consensus. Recognizing regional differences, the committee will focus on promoting the cooperation on technology innovation, standards and regulations, as well as test and pilot programs on the basis of roadmaps, to reduce the waste of resources, improve the development efficiency and promote the global development activities of ICV industry.

“A relevant global aligning of roadmaps is important for a smooth and successful commercial deployment of the next generation ICV technologies. Drive Sweden is happy to contribute to this effort, as one of just a few designated national organizations”, says Jan Hellåker, Chairman of Drive Sweden.

Following the official establishment of the Committee, the 1st International Conference of ICV Roadmap will tentatively be held in Beijing in August 2022, (subject to local pandemic restrictions). A White Paper about global ICV roadmaps will also be launched to reach deeper global consensus in ICV industry.
