In a rapidly urbanizing world, societies become more and more conscious about their energy consumption and its impact on the environment. As a result, people feel the need to travel as efficient as possible and without the air pollution emitted by the combustion engine we use nowadays. Having the ambition to facilitate this global transition, FIER Automotive accelerate the development of the technology and platforms needed to create and establish the mobility solutions of the future.
What we believe in
From conventional to smart mobility
With societies turning into networks, their surroundings become networks too. Mobility used to take place on roads and highways alone. However, for their fuel electric cars can be connected to,
for example, solar panels on the roofs of houses and the power grid. This need for connection will integrate mobility with the surrounding buildings, transforming the human environment into a
mobility and energy network.

From combustion engine to electric driving
Considering the entire lifecycle, electric cars are three times more efficient than cars with combustion engines. To enable people and goods to move as efficient as possible, vehicles like bikes,
cars and trucks, will be electrified in the next two decades. With battery technology getting better by the day and large urban areas suffering from heavy air pollution, cities are about to
make this transition.

From car ownership to mobility as a service
Being a symbol of success and welfare, car ownership has been and still is very popular. However, future mobility is shaped by efficiency and sustainability, not the need for appearance. In
the near future most people will not own a car, but rather order it as a service from a mobility provider or fleet owner. This concept is known as ‘e-mobility as a service’ or ‘eMaaS’.

Getting the market ready: From selling to servicing
Retailers, dealerships and fleet managers connect the automotive industry with the end-user. For a smooth transition to sustainable mobility, this requires them to rethink their business models
and their very own role in servicing future mobility.

How real time energy prices could boost local storage
Harm weken, Managing Partner
Flip Oude Weernink, Manager New Mobility
With investments in renewables and electric mobility increasing, the need for storage capacity grows. Smart charging, local storage of renewables and shared e-mobility could balance supply and demand. A consortium supported by FIER Automotive wants to proof that this mix of technologies will be feasible, partly on the basis of real time energy prices.
