Future View of Automotive Technical Development with some Predictions

Drivers that shape the future:

• Urbanisation
• Environmental Considerations
• Concern for Safety
• Cost Concerns
• Availability of new Technologies
• Availability of Energy Resources
• Policy
• ………

Future View of Automotive Technical Development

Lifestyle 1980 Changed to Lifestyle 2014

Current Trends continue to move in predetermined directions

The Implication these Technological Advances have CO2 Emissions

Drive Train Trailers Tyres Fuel Type Fleet Management Infrastructure Fleet Renewal

= Better Fuel Economy

Future View of Automotive Technical Development with some Predictions

Trends as a Result of these Drivers

• Cars getting smaller
• Public transport modes develop
• Alternative Fuels such as

Electric Power or LNG or CNG

• More Fuel Efficient Engines
• Alternative Construction

Materials

• Technology Drive towards more

Comfort, Safety Features, ADAS

• Connected Cars

The Implication these Technological Advances have

• r may have on Legislation

Trends and Developments as a Result

• f these Drivers
• Cross-over from Motorcycle to Car
• More fuel efficient and greater

Payload Heavy Vehicles

• Multiple engine / motor vehicles
• Less Emissions or “no” Emissions
• Lighter and stronger Construction
• Driver assist Systems take over

Control of Vehicle

• Semi-automated Driving

The Implication these Technological Advances have

• n Legislation

Examples of Laws and Regulations that are affected

• Driver minimum Age, Power

and Speed regulation, allowed

• n which Public Roads
• Emission Regulations and

Taxes

• Licensing of Vehicles,

Homologation

• Driver assist Systems take
• ver Control of Vehicle –

Vienna Convention

• Semi-automated Driving

Liability Issues

Our inter-dependence on Worldwide Trends in Legislation

• New Technologies find their Way to

South Africa

• Developed Countries have a close

Relationship between Laws / Regulations and the New Technology Products

• Regulations are updated Regularly

and at ever faster Pace as Technology opens new Possibilities

• When we allow new Technologies,

do we automatically accept new Regulation?

Our inter-dependence on worldwide trends in legislation

Challenges of keeping up with the Trends

• How fast can we update our Laws?
• Do we have the capacity to interpret

changes and future Challenges and convert into relevant Regulation?

• Who will regulate which Laws /

Regulations?

• Does it make sense to align with other

developing countries to share Resources and Ideas?

Is Harmonisation of Regulation possible / desirable?

Developing Economies have other Priorities than most Developed Countries

• Affordability
• Road Conditions
• People Education

Are unique Regulations desirable?

• Not cost effective to develop own products –

reduce Manufacturing Complexity

• Parent Manufacturing Companies find it

difficult to interpret

• Difficult to Regulate different Standards

What are main Requirements to keep up with adequate Regulation

Balancing Act to get the best of both Worlds:

• Consumer Protection – Safety First.

Is it different for Developed and for Developing Economies?

• Resist Cost Pressures: Cost of

Regulation – Cost of Compliance. Maintain Competitiveness of Motor Industry

• Skills Base to be developed to

Regulate

• Faster Process Times to Change

Regulation, while giving sufficient Lead Times to OEMs
