Foresight Vehicle is the UK’s prime knowledge transfer network for the automotive industry involving collaboration between industry, academia and Government. The R&D programme aims to promote technology and stimulate suppliers to develop market driven enabling technologies for motor vehicles. Future products and technologies must meet social, economic and environmental goals, satisfying requirements for mobility, safety, performance, cost and desirability, with the objective of improving the quality of life and wealth creation in the UK.
The Foresight Vehicle Technology Roadmap has been developed to identify technology and research themes for road transport, aiming to support UK industry in the globally competitive market for transport products and to provide sustainable mobility for UK citizens. Version 1.0 of the roadmap was published in 2002 and brought together more than 130 experts from across the road transport sector, from more than 60 organisations. The roadmap structure was used to capture and share the rich set of views about how road vehicle markets, products, systems and technologies will (and could) evolve in the future. A substantial review took place in 2004, and a new version, 2.0, is now available. This version has considered in more detail the major priorities associated with the trends and drivers, to give more focus to the technology development needs over a 20 year timescale. Both versions of the roadmap are available here for download.
