The New Drive is an initiative of Limburg entrepreneur Arthur Vijghen . Under the motto "Making Belgium cleaner together," he aims to accelerate the transition to uncompromising, zero-emission mobility and energy in Belgium.

As a senior e-mobility consultant, Arthur guides governments, market players, and fleet owners on strategic, tactical, and implementation issues related to e-mobility. His specializations include supervising charging infrastructure projects (charging strategy, RFIs, RFPs, stakeholder management) in the public and semi-public domain, TCO analysis, process management for greening fleets, and business cases for public charging infrastructure. Combining his background as an electromechanical engineer and experience in the communications sector with his entrepreneurial mindset and e-mobility expertise, he advises multinationals and SMEs on developing their e-mobility businesses and offerings and writing winning tenders. This includes all types of companies in the value chain, such as charging service providers, manufacturers, energy companies, retailers, real estate companies, leasing and car-sharing companies, bus companies, and transporters.

As a result of the above, Arthur has built up an extensive international network of market parties and governments in the entire e-mobility chain and is a much sought-after speaker at events
