The Future of Transport in Asia
Mobility in Asia is at a crossroads - rapid urbanisation, a growing middle class, and the decreasing costs of electric vehicles (EV) are creating renewed demand for better transportation.
COVID-19 and social distancing have increased digital adoption, changed consumer habits and disrupted transport. Climate change, traffic congestion and pollution are still key concerns. Against this backdrop, evolving customer demands, digitalisation and sustainable recovery are critical frictions at the heart of Asia’s mobility challenge.

The report provides a snapshot of five countries: China, India, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Most importantly, it explores how successful partnerships between governments, industry and society can improve transport for everyone.
