Why it matters in Europe
The EU's 2035 combustion engine ban and ambitious Fit for 55 targets are forcing a wholesale reinvention of how goods and people move across the continent. This regulatory clarity — unusual in a global context — is a gift to mobility and logistics startups: the direction of travel is set, and the market for solutions is enormous. Companies that build the software, charging infrastructure, or route optimisation for the electric age are playing for very high stakes.
