Creating great solutions for all with profitable and successful jobs
________________________________________________________________________
Podcar City believe in an innovative strong industry. It is also important that everything PCC programs and projects are in sync with the needs of technology, smart people and a reliable workforce. We reach out all major players in the industry – manufacturers, consultants, planners and more. For over 40 years the Advanced Transit Association (ATRA) has been the most loyal and supportive organization to move forward and share innovation on ATN – Automated Transit Networks. Therefore the PCC organization are partnering with ATRA and share our work with them.
Three important parts of our collaboration:
- The ongoing work on reviewing and supporting SFFM projects
- Regular joint meetings with the PCC Tech board
- Classification of ATN technologies against the PCC Framework
We also join forces at meetings, invite representatives from the industry and see how PCC can support their work and agenda, most common in creating student projects for their needs.
Mr Peter Muller is responsible for all Podcar City Industry activities.
