- Abstract
Challenges related to mobility have generated a number of discussions among all sectors of society and have exerted a decisive influence on the decline in people's quality of life. At the heart of this discussion is the increasing difficulty in accessing the services and opportunities present in cities due to the barriers imposed by current urban mobility standards. Based on the understanding that the use of the current model of urban mobility is a very complex issue, since it is rooted in culture in some societies, the research uses a qualitative approach through a multi-cases study (AB Volvo; Daimler AG, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, PSA Peugeot Citroën SA, Renault SA, Volkswagen Group AG) to assess how the national automotive industry is positioned from a transition process in which urban mobility has been facing, in which sustainability is also a requirements of society. The framework provided by the MultiLevel Perspective (MLP) approach provides a theory that conceptualizes global dynamic patterns in socio-technical transitions by combining concepts such as trajectories, schemes and niches, and institutional theory from the positioning of players in contexts that are formed from their own actions.
