Accelerating towards <2°C - Solutions for clean mobility

Movin'On_LAB_actionable_clean_mobility_Solutions

As part of Movin'On LAB, our Community of Interest brings together a number of major companies in the mobility sector, all committed to making a positive contribution to the fight against climate change.

The ambition of this community is to build a shared vision of the mobility sector's contribution to a "beyond 2°C" scenario for freight and passenger transport. 

While all technological and behavioural solutions need to be considered and implemented according to local specificities, the aim of this study is to promote solutions that are within reach over the next decade and able to make a valuable contribution to reducing the mobility sector's carbon footprint

This study provides an overview of the implementation of seven clean mobility solutions:

  • Incentive programs for behavioural and modal change in passenger transport
  • Eco-driving technologies and training programs
  • Carpooling applications and the sharing economy in passenger and freight transport
  • Sustainable biofuels
  • Battery electric vehicles (BEV)
  • Natural gas vehicles (NGVs)
  • Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV)

Solutions focusing on societal and behavioural changes could have significant potential to mitigate CO2 emissions in the very short term by acting on today’s current vehicle fleet. They will help meet the growing challenges of air pollution in urban areas. They require meaningful political support, collaboration between local authorities and the private sector, and the implementation of new business models.

In the medium term, the potential of alternative fuels and low-carbon vehicles should be fully exploited, as this will have a significant impact on a global scale.

These solutions are almost or completely commercially mature, but their large-scale deployment is still hampered by several factors such as limited charging infrastructure, high production and purchase costs, etc.

This study provides concrete recommendations for policy-makers on the implementation and development of innovative clean mobility solutions. It also highlights the means available to industry players to support the implementation of these solutions.
