Within the ‘Transportation’ zone, the DICE (Digital Curated Expertise) private mobility platform, the S-A2 next-generation airframe, the SPACE-Mobility public system, the demand-responsive Shucle service, and others are on show.
DICE is a private mobility platform that gives personalized companies by way of software program know-how optimized for people by synthetic intelligence (AI). It permits for a extra immersive journey expertise by way of a three-sided show.
Unveiled at CES 2024, the S-A2 next-generation airframe is a sophisticated air mobility (AAM) gadget able to vertical takeoff and touchdown. Group subsidiary Supernal is creating the S-A2 airframe to fly at a cruising pace of 200 km/h at an altitude of 400-500 meters within the metropolis. The corporate goals to commercialize S-A2 in 2028.
The SPACE-Mobility public system permits anybody, together with these with transportation difficulties, to take pleasure in unrestricted motion. It gives optimized area and customised seats in response to person situations and helps comfy boarding and alighting for wheelchairs, micro-mobility units, pets, and so on., by way of floor management capabilities.
Within the ‘Logistics and Robotics’ zone, the Metropolis Pod logistics mobility gadget, Parking Robotic and Straightforward Swap are on show.
Metropolis Pod is an unmanned, giant logistics mobility gadget that surpasses the bounds of present methods primarily based on software program know-how. It’s outfitted with an automated logistics classification system that strikes organically and actively in any respect levels. It makes use of hydrogen power know-how and is predicted for use diversely in every day life and industrial websites, together with logistics, public transportation, industrial uncooked supplies and waste transportation, and hydrogen power transportation.
Straightforward Swap is a know-how that enables customers to interchange life modules in response to the buyer’s model. Customers can detach the enterprise module from the mounted platform, known as the driving force module, by way of the boarding and alighting gadget and mix it with one other module appropriate for the aim. This enables one car for use as an workplace, luxurious limousine, camper, and so on.
The Parking Robotic, developed by Hyundai WIA, is a pair of skinny, extensive robots that go underneath the car, raise the wheels, and transfer them.

By way of the infographic stand put in on the outskirts of the park, the picture of a sustainable future metropolis that considers not solely individuals and nature, but in addition future generations are conveyed. That is primarily based on the hydrogen worth chain from the manufacturing, motion, and storage to utilization.
Subsequent, the Group plans to construct a sensible metropolis platform that seamlessly connects mobility options and infrastructure. The core of a sensible metropolis is to attach all infrastructure and companies within the metropolis into one to handle them effectively and supply a greater way of life. In keeping with the Group’s strategic route of reworking into software-oriented mobility, it’s going to construct an city ecosystem the place knowledge may be interconnected and operated to create a extra handy and safer city atmosphere.
