New mobility and data services at the heart of Digital Transport Days in Helsinki

Today Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc will officially open the Digital Transport Days in Helsinki together with the Finnish Minister for Transport, Sanna Marin. This year’s conference focuses on data-sharing, automation and digitally-enabled services, and how these digital opportunities can serve to reduce emissions from transport. It is a follow up to the declaration on Digital Transport adopted two years ago.

Commissioner Bulc said: “Digitalisation is reshaping European transport. New digital ways, such as integrated logistic services, U-Space, micro-mobility and ‘Mobility as a Service’, deliver on efficiency, Vision Zero and various new opportunities.”

In the margins of the conference, Commissioner Bulc will also attend the fifth ‘Mobility as a Service’ summit focusing on sustainable mobility. The three-day conference, co-organised with the Finnish Presidency of the EU, is expected to bring together close to one thousand actors involved in smart transport from all across Europe.
