The transportation sector is at the cusp of significant disruption, with new technologies, services, and business models coming on the scene.

To examine these trends and Hitachi’s role, we invited experts who have worked in the transportation domain and helped shape it over time: Professor Daniel (Dan) Sperling, Founding Director of the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis, Jian Sun from Hitachi Rail STS – Americas, Dean Bushey from Global Social Innovation Business-Americas, Hitachi, Ltd. and Yushi Akiyama from Corporate Strategy and Business Development at Hitachi America, Ltd.
