The electrification of cars brings new opportunities for efficient and environmentally friendly transportation of people and goods. With the technological shift, the proportion of traditional internal combustion engine cars in the vehicle fleet will change in the coming years. Developing and utilizing new technology, including in the aftermarket (e.g., maintenance and resale), will bring significant changes to the entire industry. In this transition, TAMK is a strong expert.

The electrification and automation of work machines enhance efficiency and introduce new use cases on worksites. TAMK is actively involved in this wave of technological development. We collaborate with other universities, companies, and municipal actors on issues related to safe, emission-free, and quiet worksites.
