In addition, because electric buses are an international trend, the Ministry of Transport expects to fully replace electric buses by 2030, hoping to improve the urban air pollution problem, and at the same time create a domestic-related electric bus industry chain, including self-driving technology, charging issues, etc., And at the same time think about how to establish verification standards to keep pace with international standards. - Smart sea and airport + smart logistics service industry group: towards quality, safety, efficiency, and sustainability
Because the investment in the smart sea, airport, and smart logistics is second only to railway construction, it is expected that the future will be able to create an output value of up to 500 billion. In terms of specific actions, in addition to making good use of technology to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and sustainability of sea and airports, including ship dynamic management systems and smart customs clearance systems around sea areas, technology can also be used to enhance services and create advantages; most importantly It is indeed industrialization, localization, and digitazion.
Secondly, in the part of smart logistics, integrating upstream, midstream, and downstream industrial platforms and planning free trade port areas to fully meet the needs of industrial development; also hope to comply with the current latest omnichannel logistics trend to assist in the upgrading of the logistics industry. - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Technology Industry Group: Accelerate the experimental field and management
In response to the current application of drone technology and the future of the industry, through cross-domain cooperation and collaboration, we hope to base ourselves in Taiwan and look at the world to play the World Cup together. At present, the domestic industry is leading in technology, but what is lacking is the opportunities and experimental fields for practical application and technical trials, so it needs to be integrated and provided by various ministries. The second point is the relevant regulations. How to regulate management through amendments will become the focus, such as How to coordinate and cooperate with the navigation channel of the drone is worthy of attention.
In addition, the attitude of the local government will also affect the future industrial development, hoping to promote good communication and help promote management energy; finally, there is the acceleration of the cultivation of R&D and management talents, which will inject more kinetic energy into the industry. - 5G Smart Transportation Experimental Field + Transportation Big Data Technology Industry Group: Practice 5G imagination and build an ecological laboratory

Greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion in the transportation industry have caused extremely high economic losses. Therefore, improving transportation through six revolutionary trends has become the top priority. The following is a summary of six revolutionary changes in the transportation industry:
- Virtual Reality
To achieve the purpose of admiring the scenery through virtual reality, this is the least environmentally polluted travel method. In the future, people can easily enjoy the beautiful scenery through very realistic 3D vision and VR hardware. - Micro-mobility
According to data from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2018, nearly 60% of cars went less than 6 miles in 2017; even up to half of the cars were less than 3 miles away, and up to three-quarters were less than 10 miles away. . This means that many cars are idle, and there are not many opportunities for humans to use personal cars for their daily trips. Only bicycles and scooters with micro-mobility characteristics can achieve the same purpose as driving. - Electric vehicles
According to statistics, the sales of electric vehicles in 2017 exceeded 1 million for the first time, and in 2018 it doubled to 2 million. It is estimated that by 2040, electric vehicles will account for more than half of all new car sales.
To encourage manufacturers to develop electric vehicles, some countries have even begun to formulate policies to prohibit the import of traditional cars. For example, Norway announced a ban on the import of cars with internal engines by 2025, India also announced a ban on imports from 2030, and France and the United Kingdom banned imports by 2040. - Hydrogen-powered ship
Propelled by the combination of renewable energy and hydroelectric power, the ship is favored by environmentalists because of its zero greenhouse gas emissions. - Rail transportation combined with a high-speed rail network
Traditional railway transportation is a very environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Nowadays, combined with the high-speed railway network, it can exert its influence even more. Compared with traditional cars, the greenhouse gas emissions per kilometer of railway transportation will be reduced by 80%. In addition, the amount of manpower that can be transported is larger and faster, which can solve the problem of traffic congestion, save traffic time, and facilitate travel between different places. - Flight taxis and autonomous driving taxis
Both Boeing in the aviation industry and Porsche in the automotive industry will enter the market of flying taxis. Boeing has always led innovation in the aviation sector; although Porsche is not known for its sales volume, its high profits have always been impressive. Therefore, the advent of future flight taxis is very worth looking forward to.
