Zero emission
No traffic jams and other bottlenecks
No accidents
Our programs
Green mobility
The automotive industry faces many challenges in terms of sustainable objectives and green mobility. A key driver behind sustainability is the growing societal demand for climate neutral solutions, as driven by the European Commission and the Paris Agreement.
Smart mobility
Worldwide, over 1.3 million people die in traffic accidents every year. Among young people, traffic accidents is the number one cause of death. In addition, congestion, especially in the urbanized area, causes great social costs. Digitization and automation of the mobility system and vehicles can make major contributions to reducing these societal challenges.
Manufacturing
New, natural, lighter materials, as well as, more intensive use of existing materials (such as high-grade steel and aluminum) - and their smart processing - are the key ingredients to achieve the desired CO2 reduction.

New, natural, lighter materials and a more intensive use of existing materials (such as high-quality steel and aluminum) - and their smart processing - are the most important ingredients to achieve the desired CO2 reduction.
Human Capital
The automotive industry invests in education and a lifelong development of its employees. This program is created in cooperation with ACE Mobility - Automotive Center of Expertise.
International Business Development
The Dutch automotive industry is highly dependent on exports. Of the total annual turnover, about 20 billion euros, almost 90% comes from exports. RAI Automotive Industry NL is committed to supporting its members internationally. This involves building and maintaining relationships, promoting innovation, and trade relations with a special focus on Germany, France, and the United States.
