Our society places great value on mobility. Well-developed infrastructure and flexible, reliable systems of transport are fundamental requirements for a functioning economy. About 95 percent of today’s transport depends on fossil fuels.
The consequences—air pollution and climate change—lead to negative impacts on the environment, health, and quality of life. The transport sector is the fastest-growing greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sector, expected to reach a share of more than 30% of total GHG emissions in the future.
It is also a leading emitter of short-lived climate pollutants and contributes greatly to air pollution. Electric-powered transport has become one of the main drivers worldwide to mitigate our impact on the environment and the effects of climate change.
