5GAA Releases 2025 Annual Report Highlighting Progress in Connected Mobility
The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has released its 2025 Annual Report, highlighting the association’s continued progress toward the global deployment of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology and the realisation of connected mobility solutions. The report outlines 5GAA’s milestones and achievements over the past year across strategic areas such as policy engagement, standardisation, technical innovation, and global collaboration.
Strategic Framework: Four Clusters, One Direction
A major milestone has been the updated 5GAA Strategy, built around four key clusters, among them two new areas of expansion. These clusters bring clarity to how C-V2X and advanced connectivity will shape the future of mobility, enabling safer roads, new business opportunities, seamless global connectivity, and the technical foundation for next-generation vehicles.
Shaping future automotive connectivity standards
5GAA remained closely engaged in 3GPP activities around 5G‑Advanced and the first steps towards 6G, with a clear objective: ensuring that future releases reflect the realities of the automotive sector. As connectivity evolves, 5GAA advocated for an orderly transition that supports long vehicle lifecycles and the continuity of services entering the market.
Engaging with Policy Makers and Local Ecosystem
From Europe and the Americas to China, Korea, Japan, and India, 5GAA is working closely with national authorities, standards bodies, and regional partners to foster global harmonisation.
Voices, Visibility and Impact in 2025
5GAA also showcased, through real-world demonstrations, the potential of connected mobility. During the Meeting Week in Paris, members delivered for the first time emergency calls using Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and 5G-V2X Direct for advanced use cases like Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) protection in real traffic and road conditions. In the United States, C-V2X partnered with 5GAA members to demonstrate how C-V2X Direct and network communications complement each other at the Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center, and the first ‘Day One Deployment District’ in Atlanta demonstrated that large-scale connected vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) implementation is a deployable reality. In China, the Meeting Week in Shanghai highlighted rapid C-V2X advancements across vehicle-road-cloud integration for larger-scale deployment. These events underscore how global collaboration accelerates innovation and supports more consistent deployment across markets.
Expanding Global Presence and Strengthening Industry Collaboration
In 2025, 5GAA brought together over 110 member organisations from across the globe, reflecting a truly international footprint in advancing connected mobility. The membership spanned Europe (44%), Asia (30%), and the Americas (26%), and included 10 of the top 15 global automakers, 8 of the top 10 mobile network operators, and 2 leading smartphone manufacturers.
Beyond its core membership, 5GAA also strengthened ties with more than 40 external organisations.
