On November 1, at 11 am, IEA’s Innovation and Competitiveness Observatory - NAP (OIC) will hold the meeting ‘As Novas Tecnologias de Motorização e os Desafios da Mobilidade Urbana’ (‘New Motorization Technologies and the Challenges of Urban Mobility’).

At the event, that will take place in the Auditorium of USP’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC), production engineer Roberto Marx will make a presentation on the scope of the new motorization technologies in the context of the challenges of urban mobility and discuss the eventual end of combustion engines.
