Welcome
It's common knowledge that the rapid rate of technological development in the transport sector is driven in large part by environmental concerns. This issue features two articles
exploring how the key transport sectors, rail and aviation, might use technology to deliver the government's 2050 carbon net zero commitment - On Track For Net Zero (pages 10-11) andDecoding Net Zero A
viation
(pages 28-29). The first looks at how rail
electrification could reduce carbon emissions and improve the service. The second details how hydrogen and changes to the way airports are managed might see the aviation sector meet its green commitments. But despite all this rapid change,
there are many car lovers with an eye on the past and our cover feature, about a company in the business of electrifying a classic Land Rover series, will be one for the classic car afficionados! The regular discontinuation of
automotive parts has long been a problem for car manufacturers, not least because each new model tends to contain more components than the last. Our feature, Overcoming Obsolescence (pages 38-39), looks at how choosing the right ASIC chip designer will help mitigate this issue. Those with an eye on alternative
design and new business models might enjoy our article on car manufacturer Canoo, A V Different Type Of V
ery ehicle (pages
20-21). The business, set up in 2017 by the CFO of Deutsche Bank and a senior BMW executive, operates using an innovative subscription model that may become the norm in years to come.
I hope you enjoy the issue!
