How international standards can support the development of "the car of the future" and the intelligent transport systems that will support it will be among the main items on the agenda at the next Fully Networked Car workshop.

The seventh edition of the workshop will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, on 7-8 March 2012 at the Geneva International Motor Show.

• Electric vehicles and electromobility
