The world around us has changed since the COVID-19 outbreak that started in early 2020. Lockdowns have been imposed in several countries, social distancing is being followed in public places and many other changes that we can notice. COVID-19 has also changed the way we commute and travel, with public transport and shared mobility taking a big hit. As a result, mobility looks challenging in the short term. But how does the future of mobility look after COVID-19?
Besides the pandemic, we also have the world economic crisis that has impacted businesses and consumers across the globe. Considering some people will avoid public transport for a while, there is an increasing need for a personal vehicle. But has that improved the car sales? The pandemic has also forced businesses to go digital, so what are dealers and automakers doing to push sales? We answer these questions and more in our new podcast.
In the latest episode of ‘The Counterpoint Podcast’, host Peter Richardson and senior research analyst Aman Madhok discuss the future of mobility after the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion covers topics including emerging mobility options such as e-bikes, e-scooters and electric vehicles. We have also touched upon the types of investments and partnerships that are happening in the industry, and how they will benefit the future of world mobility.
