About Us

About Us

Organized by the Association of Automobile Manufacturers and Importers together with PwC and Pirelli, as main partners, BCR, OMV Petrom, Hidroelectrica and E.ON as secondary partners, Spark and Eldrive as standard partners, the Sustainable Mobility Forum promotes green technologies, reducing carbon emissions and improving the quality of life in cities from the perspective of private companies but also of the public sector, also taking into consideration European Union initiatives such as "Green Deal" and "Fit for 55".

What sets us apart is
our holistic approach.
We understand that sustainable mobility is not just an automotive industry issue; it is an intersectoral effort. Thus, we gather top executives of companies in the broad field of mobility alongside representatives of the Commission and the European Parliament, the Government of Romania and the Ministries relevant to mobility, in order to shape together a sustainable and innovative future of mobility in Romania.
Through the Sustainable Mobility Forum
we will develop communication bridges
between the private and public sectors, thus creating a platform for dialogue and communication, focused on finding sustainable and innovative solutions. We will deal together with the decarbonization of internal combustion engines up to the electrification trend of mobility and the impact on other business sectors in Romania, up to the infrastructure of charging stations for electric vehicles.
