Kodak moment for the European car industry?
The global shift to electric vehicles, including heavy-duty transport and commercial fleets, is advancing rapidly worldwide
China leads in technological development, setting new records almost every week.
The range of electric cars is increasing, and fast charging times are approaching those of conventional refueling. Purchase prices are falling as battery costs decrease, making electric cars affordable across all segments.
Technology: How does Formula E drive technological advancement and demonstrate that electric vehicles can outperform combustion engine cars? How will AI and self-driving technologies influence the transportation of people and goods?
Market: Can European OEMs keep pace with the competition, or will some face the same fate as Kodak?
Policy: Do political beliefs influence car purchasing decisions, and does the politicization of electric cars pose a threat to the EV market? Would delaying EU CO2 emission targets help or hinder the survival of European car manufacturers?
EV fleets: Will mobility as a service and vehicle fleet operators drive the transition to electric vehicles as the total cost of ownership becomes increasingly competitive?
Heavy transport: Will we see an even faster transition in heavy-duty vehicles, where fuel savings are even greater than for passenger cars and vans?
These are some of the questions we will highlight and discuss during the Nordic EV Summit 2026!
