Today we are happy to welcome Prof. Dr. Harry Wagner, distinguished mobility researcher and expert in smart, sustainable mobility concepts with a focus on intermodal transportation chains. Prof. Wagner emphasizes the need to prioritize human-centric mobility solutions over product-centric approaches. From innovative teaching methods, such as conducting lectures on spinning bikes, to entrepreneurial ventures like founding the Future Mobility Solutions GmbH, he explores diverse avenues to rethink and develop mobility solutions.

In this episode you’ll learn:

1. Intermodal mobility is under-promoted, with only 5% of travel in Germany currently being intermodal.
2. There is a critical need to focus on the digital layer and foster collaboration among providers - shifting from the default focus on physical layer and capacity measures.
3. A successful mobility turnaround is impossible without the significant involvement of public transport.
