The age of the internal-combustion engine (ICE) looks to be drawing to a close. But is the future of transport dominated by zero-emission vehicles? Autovista24 deputy editor Tom Geggus is joined by editor Phil Curry and journalist Rebeka Shaid to discuss e-fuels.

Technology is playing an increasingly important part in today’s automotive industry, but the market relies more on people than anything else. There is a concern that new technologies may lead to job losses while finding the right people for the vacancies is becoming increasingly difficult. Autovista24 editor Phil Curry and deputy editor Tom Geggus discuss the automotive skills crisis.

Electric-vehicle (EV) incentives appear to have been a resounding success in many European countries. However, consumer popularity, socio-economic pressures, and government financing is leading some countries to reconsider these grants. Autovista24 editor Phil Curry and deputy editor Tom Geggus, consider the different schemes used across Europe’s major automotive markets.

The automotive world has seen numerous safety milestones. Seatbelts, airbags, and crumple zones have all helped protect lives. But why stop at reactive measures when proactive capabilities might help prevent collisions?

Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) look to promise just that. But the technology needs to be properly assessed so the industry knows what works. Enter Euro NCAP. Autovista24 deputy editor Tom Geggus and Adriano Palao, technical manager for ADAS and automated driving at Euro NCAP, discuss the future of automotive safety.
