Decarbonisation of transport: options and challenges

The focus of this report is on EU policies for the decarbonisation of passenger and freight transport, on urban and inter-urban roads in the period from 2020 to 2050, when major changes are expected to result from replacing gasoline and diesel engine vehicles with low- emission vehicles, and from the continuing growth in the use of ICT. Key issues include the need to contain growth of transport demand, the need for more low-carbon electricity generation to support the electrification of vehicle powertrains in parallel with growing demands for electricity from industry and the buildings sector, new business models for road vehicle ownership and use, and the introduction of autonomous vehicles. The report reviews and analyses the available scientific evidence relating to the management of road transport demand, mobility and traffic, as well as driver behaviour and decision-making, clean vehicle powertrains and energy carriers (fuels), the implications of coupling with the electricity sector, and the overall design and operation of road transport systems. Policies relating to other forms of transport, including rail, inland waterways, maritime and aviation, are also briefly addressed.
