The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) inaugurated SIAM Sustainable Mobility Week in New Delhi, a first-of-its-kind initiative by the auto industry body that brings together policymakers, industry leaders, researchers and global stakeholders on a single platform to deliberate on sustainability issues spanning decarbonisation, road safety, circularity and material compliance.
The four-day programme until February 19, opened with the 4th edition of the International Symposium for Thriving Eco-Energy in Mobility (ISTEM), themed ‘Partnering for a Sustainable Future: Accelerating India’s Multi-Fuel Mobility Transition.’
Marking a key highlight of the programme, SIAM also unveiled the Sustainable Mobility Zone, a curated exhibition space presenting a cross-section of next-generation mobility innovations.
