How green mobility is reshaping the Midlands’ skills requirements

Green mobility in the Midlands

The automotive industry across the UK is changing to meet the Government’s decarbonisation policies and changing consumer demand. 

The Midlands is at the forefront of that shift towards future mobility technologies and is starting to transform the sector’s skills landscape in the region. While many automotive skills transfer across from internal combustion to low-carbon vehicles, new components, and manufacturing processes require new skills.

The Midlands has a history of adapting to change and a strong engineering expertise foundation, making it well-positioned to lead the way in low-carbon mobility.
