Moving Without Oil: How New Energy Is Rewriting the Future of Transportation
Transportation has depended heavily on petroleum for more than a century, but the energy landscape supporting movement is becoming increasingly diverse. Batteries, hydrogen, biofuels, sustainable aviation fuels and alternative marine fuels are being developed for different mobility requirements. This edition examines the transition across cars, commercial vehicles, aviation, shipping and other transport modes, exploring why no single energy solution fits every journey and how infrastructure, economics, range and efficiency influence the choices ahead.
The New Age of Mobility: How the Movement of People and Goods Is Being Reinvented
Mobility is entering a period of profound change across road, rail, air and water. New propulsion systems, connected infrastructure, digital platforms and intelligent machines are changing how people travel and how goods reach their destinations. This edition examines mobility as one interconnected ecosystem rather than a collection of separate transport industries. It explores the technologies, infrastructure and operational changes reshaping vehicles, aircraft, trains, ships, logistics networks and the movement systems that connect economies and communities.

Mobility in 2026: The Technologies and Transitions Changing How the World Moves
The mobility landscape continued to evolve throughout 2026 as electrification expanded, transportation became more connected and infrastructure investment changed how people and cargo moved. Developments across automobiles, aviation, railways, shipping and logistics reflected a broader transformation in mobility. This edition brings those changes together without ranking technologies or companies, examining how energy, digitalisation, automation and infrastructure influenced transportation during the year and what those shifts reveal about its direction.
The Mobility Outlook 2027: A World Moving Faster, Smarter and More Connected
Transportation enters 2027 amid continuing changes in propulsion, infrastructure, connectivity and automation. Road vehicles are becoming more intelligent, rail networks are expanding, aviation is pursuing greater efficiency and shipping and logistics are adopting new technologies. This edition examines the mobility environment at the beginning of the year across road, rail, air and water. It connects the major technological and operational forces influencing how passengers and cargo move while considering the infrastructure required to support them.
The Electric Journey: How Electrification Is Expanding Beyond the Passenger Car
Electrification is spreading beyond passenger cars into two-wheelers, buses, commercial fleets, rail systems, marine vessels and emerging aircraft concepts. Each application presents different requirements for batteries, charging, range, payload and operating cycles. This edition examines electric mobility across the wider transportation ecosystem and explores where electrification offers practical advantages, where technical challenges remain and how charging networks, battery development and energy infrastructure will influence its adoption across different modes of movement.
The Software-Defined Journey: When Code Becomes Part of How the World Moves
Software is becoming an increasingly important layer of transportation. Cars receive digital updates, fleets are coordinated through connected platforms, aircraft depend on sophisticated computing and railway and logistics systems use software to manage complex movement. This edition examines how code is becoming part of the mobility infrastructure across road, rail, air and sea. It explores software-defined vehicles, navigation, fleet management, digital logistics and connected transport systems while considering the growing importance of cybersecurity and reliability.
