The inaugural Vehicle Tech Week Europe, held at Messe Stuttgart on June 23-24, 2026, saw the launch of several new initiatives to encourage peer-to-peer discussion. Among them was a program of VIP Executive Club Roundtables, hosted in the VIP Lounge in the Hall 1 Gallery. These 90-minute sessions enabled senior professionals from OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to exchange insights across sectors and disciplines.

On June 24, Vehicle Tech Week association partner ASAM hosted the ‘Standardization in the age of AI’ roundtable attended by representatives from passenger and commercial vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, software companies and autonomous-driving firms to discuss a challenge facing every industry: the impact of AI.

This year’s EuroBrake highlighted the role of brake technology as a fundamental safety-critical component, alongside its expanding function in next-generation mobility engineering – from the development of safer vehicles and intelligent systems architectures to cleaner, more sustainable mobility.

Organized by FISITA and the EuroBrake Steering Committee, and held in Mainz, Germany, on June 1-3, the 14th edition of EuroBrake gathered speakers, 110 exhibitors and 1,100 delegates to explore brake emissions, Euro 7 readiness, software-defined braking and integrated system design in a rapidly evolving field.

A clear message emerged: braking is no longer a standalone component, but central to safety, sustainability, vehicle performance and intelligent system architecture.

At the inaugural Automated Mobility Summit, which took place at Innovation Park Zurich on May 4-5, 2026, discussions focused on integrating autonomous mobility with public transportation. Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo’s Charlotte Iggulden spoke with Vibeke Harlem, director – radical innovation at Ruter, about Norway’s new service to scale autonomous mobility and achieve fully driverless operations by 2027.

What is your involvement with PAVE Europe? 

I’ve been a board member for over two years and now serve as vice chair, invited due to my experience in autonomous mobility.

What motivated you to participate in the Automated Mobility Summit?

Europe is close to scaling the deployment of autonomous vehicles as it moves from pilots to commercial operations, with a projected roll out of hundreds, if not thousands, of AVs within five years. This progress was evident at the inaugural Automated Mobility Summit, which was held on May 4-5, 2026, at Innovation Park Zurich, and hosted by SAAM and PAVE Europe.

With 300 attendees, 30+ speakers and live demonstrations, the summit predicts a promising autonomous future. Many technical and regulatory barriers have been addressed, legislation is advancing and institutions increasingly recognize the benefits of automated mobility – from improved safety and accessibility to reduced emissions and addressing driver shortages in logistics and freight.

During the inaugural Automated Mobility Summit, which took place at Innovation Park Zurich on May 4-5, 2026, Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo’s Charlotte Iggulden sat down with Lukas Neckermann, board member and co-founder, PAVE Europe, and co-founder of the Urban Places Lab, to discuss the complexities of the autonomous vehicle value chain and why the industry is at an inflection point – while technical and regulatory barriers have been addressed and legislation implemented, public acceptance remains the defining challenge

What is your involvement with PAVE Europe?

I was a co-founder and now serve on the board.

As regulators increasingly recognise the benefits of autonomous mobility, industry leaders stress that the technology must also be commercially viable to achieve widespread adoption.

At the 2026 Automated Mobility Summit, which took place on May 4-5 at Innovation Park Zurich, Switzerland, Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo’s Charlotte Iggulden spoke with Christian Lichtmannecker, head of business development – autonomous mobility at Mobileye and co‑founder and board member of PAVE Europe, about the economics of Mobility as a Service, the evolving AV value chain, and why the traditional automotive industry needs to keep an eye on the new kid on the block.

Although manufacturers undertake extensive technical evaluations, there is a lack of objective assessments from customers to ensure that their needs and expectations are incorporated into ADAS development. This information gap led e-mobility market research firm Uscale to conduct a large-scale study of user perspectives on ADAS.

At this year’s Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo Conference in Stuttgart, Uscale managing director Axel Sprenger will highlight key findings from the study, including usage patterns, satisfaction and trust, differences between vehicle segments and brands, and recommendations for developers.

AAVI asked Sprenger to give us a taste of what to expect during his presentation on June 25.
