The car and the city of the future aren’t just concepts; they’re realities taking shape today in Coventry and Warwickshire. As a global hub of Intelligent Mobility innovation, this region is powering the revolution in how people and goods move, creating smarter, safer, and more sustainable transport solutions that are transforming the world.
Intelligent Mobility the seamless, optimised movement of people and goods is set to become a £900 billion global market by 2025. At its core lie connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) and intelligent transport infrastructure, and nowhere in the UK rivals Coventry and Warwickshire’s unique blend of technological creativity, investment, and automotive R&D expertise.
Home to industry giants like Horiba MIRA, a world-leading authority in CAV technology, the region is witnessing the development of a groundbreaking 2 million square foot R&D campus just outside Nuneaton. This cutting-edge facility will accelerate innovation and cement the area’s role as a global centre for autonomous vehicle research and testing.
Coventry and Warwickshire’s roads are already buzzing with the future: driverless vehicles like the Coventry-built Lutz Pathfinder by Aurrigo are undergoing rigorous trials locally and in nearby Milton Keynes, alongside mass-produced connected and autonomous vehicles from automotive leaders such as Ford and Jaguar Land Rover.
Driving this innovation forward is the £7.1 million UK Connected Intelligent Transport Environment (UK CITE) project, which creates a unique real-world testing ground for automotive, infrastructure, and service companies. Over two-and-a-half years, this initiative enables cutting-edge connected vehicle technologies and smart infrastructure to be trialled on Coventry and Warwickshire’s roads transforming the region into a live laboratory for the mobility solutions of tomorrow.
Coventry and Warwickshire don’t just dream about the future they build it, test it, and make it a reality. For businesses and innovators ready to be part of the Intelligent Mobility revolution, this region offers unmatched expertise, world-class facilities, and a vibrant ecosystem dedicated to redefining transport for generations to come.
