"It is indeed an honour to have Mr. Baker join our event," says Partner and Global Practice Director Automotive & Transportation, Mr. Sarwant Singh.

We are proud of our efforts to bring the private and public sectors closer together."

The two-day event will debate and discuss new urban mobility concepts, how latest trends can provide opportunities for government, public sector and corporations to align their future mobility vision, products and services toward customers' unmet needs. The event will also debate the role of public transport, specifically bus and rail, and electric vehicles as a sustainable transport of now and the future.

Mr. Baker's keynote address will open day one of the conference which focuses on the issue: "Personal or Public?: Mega Cities and the Sustainable Transport of the Future". The debate will be facilitated by a panel of parliamentarians and industry as well as academic representatives and will take place at the House of Lords in the House of Parliament.
