Rapidly increasing urbanisation is driving a shift in mobility needs, and Club Car is responding with vision and innovation, according to the company’s Vice President EMEA, Marco Natale. In a new video, Natale, who was recently invited to be part of a roundtable discussion on urban mobility at the World Economic Forum in Davos, explains how Club Car has evolved over its 60-year history from a golf car business to a global leader in sustainable low-speed vehicles.
“Two hundred years ago ten per cent of the population lived in urban areas,” says Natale. “Today, it’s about half and by 2050 it is estimated to be 75 per cent. That will lead to big challenges but also generates major opportunities.
“Mobility is much more than just getting from A to B. It encompasses electric vehicles, infrastructure, shared services and autonomous solutions. We are committed to shaping the future of mobility, not just with products but with solutions that redefine how people move around cities and towns.”
Club Car reached a significant milestone in 2022 with the launch of its first road-legal vehicle, Urban. A versatile, zero-emissions vehicle that can reach speeds of 50kmph, Urban is the preferred choice of many private- and public-sector organisations around the world.
“The introduction of Urban is not just a simple product addition to the Club Car portfolio,” continues Natale. “It’s the evolution of 60 years of expertise, legacy and investment beyond the golf sector and into a landscape that is going to make a difference in the way people move around now and in the future.”
