GSV Forum: You can’t do it without a car

At the GSV Forum “Full individual mobility even without your own car?” The invited speakers agreed: things will not work without cars in the future either. The spokesman for the automobile importers, Felix Clary, was convinced: “Life without a car is simply unimaginable for most Austrians in everyday life, as all surveys show.” Around 90 million vehicles are currently being produced and sold worldwide, and by 2020 there will be 110 million.
