Formed in 1969 by the two French automakers, the LAB is a laboratory for accident analysis, biomechanics and the study of human behavior. Its purpose is to observe, analyze and anticipate with a view to furthering road safety. The LAB has helped decrease the number of road fatalities in France by some 80% within the last 50 years. It brings together 20 road safety experts. In its 50 years of operation, the LAB has actively contributed to decreasing road fatalities. In France, the number has dropped from 16,881 in 1973 to 3,259 in 2018, representing a fivefold reduction within 45 years. The LAB is now more committed than ever to helping develop the technologies of tomorrow that will further reduce road fatalities.
The City of Turin's Department of Transport, Infrastructure and Mobility signed a cooperation agreement with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to pilot – in city traffic – the integration of electrified mobility with the restricted traffic zone (Zona a Traffico Limitato –ZTL) management infrastructure.The partners in the initiative are 5T (an in-house company of the City of Turin, which manages the access platform and gates to the ZTL integrated in the Mobility Central of the capital of the Italian region of Piedmont), the Centro Ricerche Fiat – the developer of powertrains, vehicle systems, materials, methodologies and innovative processes aimed at improving the competitiveness of FCA’s products – and GTT, the Turin public transport agency.The “Turin Geofencing Lab”, as the project is known, was created to grasp the opportunities offered by the fast-increasing transformation of cities into "smart" areas – which connect and talk to means of transport – and, most of all, into “green” areas, i.e. those whose environmental impact is reducing at a rapid pace. In this context, an important role is played by electric vehicles and (especially in the current phase 1 of deployment) by plug-in hybrid vehicles, proposed as key elements in the transition to a new urban mobility.

The Toyota stand at this year's Tokyo Motor Show is turning into a huge mobility theme park: Visitors catch a glimpse into the future - and can take action themselves.With real models as well as photos and videos on large screens, Toyota presents its vision of the future in which people are even more in the spotlight. Vehicles support the mobility of each individual and create a new form of driving pleasure. Those who follow the future path at the Toyota stand will encounter people, robots and mobility solutions for different fields of application. For example, the Toyota Micro range serves drinks, while the E-Broom ensures a unique flight experience. Visitors can earn points on their way through a total of four areas, which they can exchange for a small gift at the Toyota Convenience Store, a futuristic business at the exit of the mobility company of the future.
From the 14th October to the 8th November 2019, throughout the Paris-Saclay urban campus, a panel of some 100 people will use Groupe Renault’s on-demand car service as part of the ‘Paris-Saclay Autonomous Lab’ project.This daytime service, using electric, autonomous and shared Renault ZOE Cab prototypes, will allow panelists to move freely around the Paris-Saclay urban campus, for everyday mobility: go to one of the schools or laboratories on the campus, head to lunch, play sports, etc.The service will run Monday to Friday, from 11am to 6pm, to best coincide with the user’s needs.
