The president of Dekra Italia, Toni Purcaro:"An area that must also involve micromobility"

MILAN – Safety, sustainable mobility and more were discussed at the entitled #ForumAutoMotive 'Motorized mobility looks ahead', which was held at the Enterprise Hotel in Milan.Guest of the event, the president of Dekra Italia Toni Purcaro, executive vice president Dekra Group and president Dekra Italia, who spoke during the debate “The 'Car System' and the battle for the environment.Union is strength."

“In an era where mobility is constantly evolving and technologies are advancing at an unprecedented pace, Dekra, leader in the safety and quality sector, recognizes the importance of adapting to changes to meet the ever-increasing needs of our customers and the market in general", underlines Purcaro.For Purcaro, two clear guidelines, that of road safety and that of sustainability understood as responsible management of the company, which must assume "a central role in the discussion on innovative mobility, especially regarding micromobility and the use of shared vehicles".In this sense, for the number one of Dekra Italia it is necessary to maintain an overall vision of the entire chain, "promoting innovations, taking responsibility for collaborators and the environment, through the promotion of road safety".These themes are crucial for the work of Dekra, which as Purcaro underlines "performs 28 million inspections worldwide annually and evaluates the physical and digital safety standards of the latest generation vehicles" through "automated, connected driving assistance systems and autonomous".

A radical change, a new world that is advancing for which we must be ready.“To keep up with the revolution in mobility technologies, Dekra takes a proactive approach that focuses on several key areas.“First of all – explains Purcaro – we invest significant resources in research and development to fully understand the new emerging technologies in the mobility sector, from autonomous driving to electric mobility”.After that, Dekra “promotes the adoption of global standards and regulations to ensure harmonization and consistency in the implementation of mobility technologies”.Not only that:“The company invests in the skills and training of its employees to ensure they are fully prepared to face the challenges and seize the opportunities offered by the mobility technology revolution.”

In essence, therefore, to safely use new generation cars and, more generally, all the means of transport involved in new mobility such as scooters, bikes and electric scooters, according to the number one of national Dekra it is essential to educate young people in the conscious use of new technologies and new means, to drive them safely.“Vision Zero undoubtedly represents the primary objective for Dekra, that is, zero victims on the roads as a social responsibility shared by all”.Also because, "although technology, including driver assistance systems such as emergency braking and lane keeping, play an increasingly crucial role - concludes Purcaro - we must never forget the importance of human behaviour".
