What We’re Learning About Mobility Tech (and Having Fun Doing It)

The future of mobility isn’t arriving — it’s already here.

At Marklytics, we live at the intersection of engineering, AI, sustainability, and mobility. Every day we’re deep in the weeds of simulation models, ESG dashboards, and regulatory frameworks. But between all the data points and dashboards, we’re discovering something else: this space is one of the most exciting, fast-moving, and strangely fun places to be.

So here’s a quick look at what we’ve been learning lately — and why it’s keeping us on our toes (and smiling).

Lesson 1: AI Is Changing How Vehicles Are Designed — Not Just How They Drive

We used to think of AI in cars mostly in terms of autonomous driving — but that’s just scratching the surface.

What we’re seeing now is a deeper shift. Engineers are using AI not just for automation, but for designing better systems from the inside out.

From predicting how a battery will degrade in a certain climate, to fine-tuning driveability during virtual test cycles — AI is speeding up development while reducing costly rework.

And here’s the kicker: it’s making engineering more creative again. Less firefighting, more forward-thinking.

Lesson 2: ESG Isn’t a Report — It’s a Lens

When you hear “ESG,” you might think spreadsheets, scores, and checkboxes. But for the teams we work with, ESG is becoming something more vital: a way to see the full lifecycle of a vehicle — from the mine to the motor — through a lens of responsibility.

We’re helping clients not just track emissions and sourcing, but understand why it matters at every step.

It’s not about compliance for the sake of it. It’s about creating vehicles people can trust — and investors can believe in.

Lesson 3: Data is Only Useful if It Connects

We’ve had some big wins (and learnings) around one key idea: traceability.

In a world of battery passports, recycled materials, and cross-border regulations, it’s no longer enough to “have data.” You need connected, reliable, traceable data — the kind that tells a story from start to finish.

This is where mobility tech is heading: systems that talk to each other, across design, production, logistics, and regulation. Our job is helping make that language seamless — with AI helping connect the dots.

And Yes — We’re Actually Having Fun

We’re nerding out on Digital Product Passports.

We’re swapping Slack messages about EV emissions vs lifecycle CO₂.

We’re testing AI workflows that sound like science fiction — but are very real.

And through all of it, we’re staying curious. We’re asking big questions. And we’re celebrating the little moments — like when a simulation actually matches test data, or when a client emails to say, “You just made compliance less painful.”

Why This Matters

Mobility tech isn’t just about the vehicles of tomorrow. It’s about the tools, ethics, and people shaping how we get there.

At Marklytics, we’re committed to making that journey smarter, cleaner, and a little more human — one insight at a time.
