Emerging mobility technologies present tremendous potential for safety and accessibility improvements in urban mobility—but only if the public and private sectors work together to adopt them in a thoughtful and balanced way.
BCG’s extensive resources—delivered by experts in our Center for Mobility Innovation—help our clients in the public and private sectors shape the future of mobility.
We partner with cities around the world to solve urban mobility problems. BCG works with automotive industry clients and providers of emerging mobility technologies to help shape mobility solutions for people and goods, bring them to market, and embed them in cities’ mobility strategies.
Around the world, urban mobility problems contribute to pollution, safety concerns, and disparities in job, health care, and education access. To solve these problems, mobility strategies must integrate with a host of emerging mobility technologies, be customized to a locale, and account for such key factors as population density, public transport options, and street network type.
BCG’s Center for Mobility Innovation collaborated with Detroit and a conglomerate of local public and private stakeholders to help improve mobility in the city. Over a 12 week innovation sprint, partner organizations brainstormed more than 100 ideas for tackling Detroit’s mobility challenges. The options were whittled down to six projects that ran as 12 month pilots, ranging from a revolutionary car-sharing approach to dynamically-scheduled public transportation.
We’ve modeled mobility scenarios in dozens of cities around the world and have worked one-on-one with many of these cities to put mobility solutions in place. In Paris, we helped city leaders develop a new mobility strategy with the goal of reinventing mobility in the city by 2030. In Tongzhou, we created a ten-point action plan designed to create a smart city that deploys shared mobility, autonomous mobility, and mobility as a service. And in Boston, we partnered with the World Economic Forum and municipal leaders to assess Boston’s mobility status and conduct simulations using autonomous mobility.
Our Center for Mobility Innovation works with leaders in the automotive, transportation and logistics, and mobility industries, including governments, new and incumbent mobility providers, investors, and other stakeholders. Recent client success includes designing a car-sharing company with a leading insurer, conceptualizing a peer-to-peer e-scooter company with a leading automotive supplier, collaborating with a leading vehicle manufacturer on a sharing program for electric LCVs, and formulating strategy for a mobility service provider to drive top- and bottom-line growth.
BCG has a comprehensive view on the consumer and industry value pools and business model archetypes across the mobility ecosystem.
This tool helps ideate and design mobility solutions that address city-specific frictions by bringing together local mobility stakeholders and city administrations.
BCG taps data and simulations to create city archetypes and forecasts that predict the uptake and share of various modes of mobility within a city or region.
We bring our detailed data and deep insight to help mobility providers and governments evaluate the implications of various battery demand scenarios.
BCG is proud to partner with our clients, specialty partners, and with other organizations seeking to advance mobility solutions, including:
EV adoption is shifting into overdrive—generating fresh challenges for automakers and fueling creative solutions.
E-bikes, e-mopeds, and e-scooters can go from fad to fixture—and win over commuters—if cities consider ways to bundle these modes with public transit.
The latest study by BCG and the World Economic Forum explores how thoughtfully designed mobility systems can play a crucial role in everything from a community’s health to socioeconomic gains.
Airlines, rail operators, and car manufacturers must be ready for consumers’ changing travel preferences. Here’s what they should focus on in the years ahead.
BCG’s Center for Mobility Innovation is a hub of cross-sector mobility consulting expertise, bringing the best of BCG’s automotive; infrastructure, cities, and transport; public sector; and digitization and analytics acumen to our clients.
