Overview of current registrations

The celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw University of Technology's Faculty of Automobiles and Automotive Machines took place on May 26. The celebration was attended by Jakub Faryś - President of the Polish Automotive Industry Association, who during his speech emphasized that the new motorization will be shaped, among others, by students of the Warsaw University of Technology.
He drew attention to the legislative amendments that have set the direction of automotive development. Beginning in 2035, every new car registered in the EU will be electric, hydrogen or powered by synthetic fuel. The development of electromobility also applies to heavy trucks. The automotive revolution that is taking place now is forcing the adaptation of education faculties to the new reality, and this is a challenge for the staff of the Warsaw University of Technology and other universities
