CharIN featured in new online engineering hub

Recently launched at the ICE’s London headquarters, The Future of Engineering (www.engineeringtv.org) is a comprehensive online hub that hosts a selection of exclusive, industry-related films, interviews and features.

As a leading advocate for the adoption of the Combined Charging System (CCS) and the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) for electrical vehicles of all kinds, CharIN shares its insights and expertise in one of the initiative’s documentaries, entitled Putting the Smart into Cities.

The documentary (viewable at www.engineeringtv.org/putting-the-smart-into-cities) explores the ideas, innovations and individuals at the forefront of the development of sustainable, smart cities across the globe. Including commentary and analysis from a host of leading industry organisations, Putting the Smart into Cities addresses the present and future challenges of urban living, from transport and communications to the built environment, work and leisure.

The Future of Engineering also features a dedicated profile of CharIN and a film about its current ideas and operations, which can be found at www.engineeringtv.org/partners/charin.

Michael Keller, Treasurer at CharIN, says, “To support the sustainability of all the mobility sectors, the different stakeholders work together from industry, governments and regulators. CharIN’s aim is to bring them all together in a way that topics around e-mobility can be aligned considering all players of the ecosystem and thus, push the deployment of e-mobility on a global scale.”

Addressing the smart city challenge, David Porter, Vice President of the ICE, says, “The ICE’s vision for the future is really embodied in the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, and we work very hard to try and support the delivery of those. We need to deliver all those SDGs in a way that helps people and the planet to thrive.”
