Emil Frey Supports Mobility Center at the UZH

(CONNECT) UZH is locating its new Center for the Future of Personal Mobility at the Institute of Business Administration. According to the press release, the focus will be on the effects of transport and climate policy, new drive technologies, innovative mobility concepts, digital networking and the infrastructure for charging and refueling.

To this end, the research center will collaborate with experts from subjects such as geography, psychology and ethics and, in particular, with the various digitalization initiatives at UZH. "UZH has recognized the great need for research in this important and innovative market and has developed an interdisciplinary research agenda for it," says Dean Harald Gall. According to Rector Michael Schaepman, UZH is thus making a contribution to the future of private mobility.

The center for the future of individual mobility can be realized thanks to a donation of 12.7 million Swiss francs from the Zurich-based car dealership and mobility company Emil Frey Holding AG. "We are delighted to be promoting innovative mobility solutions with the research center," says Walter Frey, Chairman of the Board of Directors. "It is important to us to broaden the discussion about individual transportation in a fact-based and well-founded way." ce/mm
