About Us
The Mobility Centre for Africa (MCA) NPC is a committed advocate for the development of future mobility solutions in collaboration with its partners in government, industry and academia.
MCA is driven by what we refer to as the “wicked 4” problems associated with the transport industry which are road crashes, affordability, emissions and traffic congestion.
MCA was borne out of a need to start a dialogue about and plan for the disruptive forces that are shaping the mobility in Africa. Thus, we are driven by taking the African dialogue forward with respect to Connected, Autonomous, Shared and/or Electric mobility and championing a collaborative space wherein relevant and appropriate interventions, technologies, regulations and policies are explored together.
In the past, MCA has convened a number of roundtable meetings, conferences and workshops to deliberate on various topics that affect mobility in South Africa.
