TECNALIA promotes advanced mobility and industrial cybersecurity at MUBIL Mobility Expo 2026

 

During March 25 and 26, 2026, the technology center TECNALIA will exhibit in FICOBA (Irun) its cutting-edge smart mobility solutions within MUBIL Mobility Expo 2026The organization seeks to enhance the competitiveness of the industrial value chain through scalable technologies in propulsion, cybersecurity, and advanced automation.

 

Innovation and technology transfer in the mobility of the future

 

As part of MUBIL Mobility Expo 2026, a reference point in the south of Europa, TECNALIA will deploy a catalog of solutions geared towards industrializationThe research center's approach is multi-sectoral, integrating everything from the physical vehicle to smart infrastructure and secure connectivity. As highlighted... Joana Gracia, responsible for the mobility area in TECNALIA"Our goal is to support the industry in developing scalable, market-ready solutions. The mobility of the future is built by combining advanced technologies and a comprehensive understanding of its entire value chain."

 

One of the key points of their presentation will be the real-time demonstration of the validation systems Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL). This technology allows for the absolutely precise verification of electric propulsion control systems for aircraft through dynamic simulation, which drastically reduces risks and accelerates time to market before the manufacture of physical prototypes.

 

Strategic lines and key developments

 

The technical proposal of TECNALIA This edition is structured around five fundamental technological axes that respond to the current demands of the sector logistic and Services:

 

• Skybot: An omnidirectional drone designed for industrial inspection and maintenance. Its ability to physically interact with infrastructure allows for non-destructive testing in hard-to-reach environments.
• Electric propulsion for micromobility: High-efficiency drive system developed in conjunction with EGILE, which optimizes pedal assistance on bicycles through embedded control.
• CyberBox: Comprehensive platform of ciberseguridad for connected fleets, facilitating secure telemetry and remote updates from the cloud.
• Collaboration with ITP Aero: Presentation of the electric propulsion control system (hardware and software) validated using HIL tools.
• Perception from the infrastructure: Technology that externalizes vehicle sensors to the road to simplify architectures and reduce operating costs.

Leadership in the electric mobility value chain

 

In addition to the exhibition area, active participation in the conference program reinforces the role of TECNALIA as a thought leader in the sector. The senior researcher Eneko Otaola, a specialist in electric propulsion systems, will participate in the round table entitled “Industrialization of electric mobility: transformation of the value chain”This forum will discuss the challenges of electrification and the impact of the new industrial processes needed to ensure more efficient and sustainable global mobility.

 

Key points and frequently asked questions about TECNALIA at MUBIL 2026

What is the Skybot system presented by TECNALIA?

It is a state-of-the-art omnidirectional drone designed for industrial inspection and maintenance. Unlike other drones, it can physically interact with structures to perform non-destructive testing in complex environments.

How does Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) technology help businesses?

It allows for the validation of electric propulsion systems through real-time simulations. This reduces technical risks, accelerates industrial development, and ensures the reliability of components before investing in physical prototypes.

What cybersecurity solutions will be showcased?

The platform will be presented CyberBoxwhich allows managing the security of connected vehicles and fleets, offering secure telemetry and remote updates protected against external attacks.
