Driving the Future of Electric Mobility: Innovation, Standardization, and Market Insights
Join us for an engaging webinar exploring the latest developments shaping the future of electric mobility. Bringing together experts from across technology, research, and industry, this session will provide valuable insights into key trends, innovations, and market dynamics driving the transition toward electrified transport. The program features a series of thought-provoking presentations, including:
-
The impact of connectivity and automation on energy consumption and affordability;
-
The role of standardization in accelerating electromobility adoption, with insights from the Stan4SWAP case study;
-
Advances in AI-based optimization and NVH-oriented design of traction electric motors;
-
New paradigms in automotive engineering.

Mr. Aymeric Rousseau
University of Chicago, USA;
Aymeric Rousseau is the Transportation Program Director at Argonne National Laboratory. He received his engineering diploma at the Industrial System Engineering School in La Rochelle, France in 1997 and an Executive MBA at Chicago Booth in 2019. For the past 25 years, he has been evaluating the impact of advanced vehicle and transportation technologies from a mobility and energy point of view including the development of Autonomie (vehicle system simulation), RoadRunner (connected and automated vehicle and powertrain control) and POLARIS (large-scale transportation system simulation). His responsibilities include business development for government offices and programs and state agencies including U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Transportation section, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state and local organizations that represent transportation systems and systems management, and private industry in the transportation and mobility segments.
In addition to leading numerous projects for private companies and US Department of Energy, Aymeric Rousseau has been providing vehicle energy consumption analysis for the US DOT NHTSA and has authored or co-authored more than 250 papers related to transportation technologies.
