Apr 24, 2024 · The Special Collection showcases some of the latest advances in research towards sustainable and technology-enabled transport. Transport has always played a major role in shaping society.
- Guarantee Reliable Access to Safe and Modern Mobility
- Reduce Avoidable Vehicle and Air Travel
- Shift to Public, Shared and Non-Motorized Transport
- Transition to Zero-Carbon Cars, Trucks and Buses
- Transition to Zero-Carbon Shipping and Aviation
- Transforming A Global System
Future transportation systems — in addition to being low-carbon — must be safe, modern and center around improving health. For example, expanding the infrastructure around public transportation systems with dedicated walkways or bike paths will not only combat vehicular congestion and reduce air pollution, but will also encourage more physical acti...
The switch from internal combustion to low- and zero-carbon technologies is vital but also unlikely to happen fast enough to decarbonize the entire transportation sector at the necessary speed and scale. Even a complete electrification of cars, buses and trucks would pose challenges due to the increased electricity demand. We need solutions that wi...
Currently, almost three quarters of transport carbon dioxide emissionscome from road travel —largely from cars, vans, buses and trucks. Convincing drivers to shift to more efficient modes will require fundamental cultural change around the car-centric design of many cities. This, alongside holding back car adoption in places where cars are not as p...
We need to phase out fossil-fuel-powered vehicles as fast as possible. Fortunately, electric vehicles (EVs) provide a similar service without directly emitting carbon dioxide or air pollution. While EV uptake numbers are surging, it’s not fast enough. To stay on track to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C by 2030, all new cars sold globally need...
Both shipping and aviation are seen as hard-to-decarbonize sectors, where zero-carbon technologies are still in infancy. Each is responsible for around 3% of global greenhouse emissions. However, both sectorshave pathways to a greener future. Decarbonizing shipping and aviation will require a combination of technological solutions such as zero-emis...
Together, these five shifts can transform our global transportation system. They offer a new system where opportunities and services are easily and equitably accessed through clean, safe mobility from walking to electric buses to bike share programs; a system where planes run on clean fuel and road crashes are not the leading cause of death in chil...
Nov 20, 2015 · In the most ambitious case, total emissions in the transport sector will be 4.2 Gt CO 2 in 2050, within the range of the 430 to 480 ppm CO 2-eq scenarios. But which transport sector developments substantiate mitigation scenarios?

May 24, 2021 · Sustainable transport includes public transportation, such as electric buses and trains and BRT systems that can carry people far more efficiently than cars. Notably, while electric cars pollute less and reduce individual carbon footprints, they do not reduce congestion.
