The European transport manufacturing industries are currently well positioned on the worldwide market. However, global economic shifts, societal trends and environmental challenges may put their leadership role into question. SCORE will assess and forecast how progress in R&D and future demand changes will affect the global competitive position and illustrate the findings for companies and policy makers in an interactive scoreboard. The analyses will focus on the four major transport manufacturing industry’s segments automotive, aeronautical, ship-building and rail rolling stock and has a time horizon up to 2030 (partly 2050).
VDI/VDE-IT will lead the European research project as coordinator and will furthermore contribute to all kinds of conceptual work as well as analyses with focus on the automotive industry sector, facilitate the stakeholder involvement approach and be strongly involved in networking as well as establishing international relations. VDI/VDE-IT will also bring in their expertise in the compilation of roadmaps and be responsible for the development of the project scoreboard.
