"The mobility industry has experienced numerous disruptions in the past decades and is poised to face even more in the future. It is a pleasure to witness <b>Gilles Roucolle</b> sharing his invaluable insights on this sector and offering his strategic perspectives. He has a profound understanding of the global transportation industry thanks to his long-standing passion for the sector and extensive relationships network. <i><b>Transformations in Mobility</b> </i>will prove to be beneficial for industry players, advisors and anyone with an interest in the field of transport and mobility."
Scott McDonald, Chief Executive, British Council
"The North American freight rail industry has been under siege lately. <b>Gilles Roucolle</b> presents a terrific counter to this in his exhaustive and illuminating look at the overall mobility sector. In drilling down into rail freight, he shows the importance of long-term planning and the ability to spend capital, in contrast to the stop-and-go nature that has characterized US passenger and especially potential high-speed rail. In reading this, perhaps a better future can be envisioned."
Anthony Hatch, Leading analyst of Class I Railroads in North America
"<i><b>Transformations in Mobility</b></i> delivers a remarkable and comprehensive exploration of mega-trends impacting the transport sector. While <b>Gilles Roucolle</b> rightfully emphasizes the significance of decarbonizing transport as a major growth opportunity for the rail industry, what truly distinguishes this book is not just his wealth of experience but also the insights and perspective provided by 30 of the most influential leaders in mobility. This combination makes it a must-read for anyone interested in this field."
