Electro-mobility is an important key to decarbonize transport. In particular, battery electric propulsion offers the potential to effectively mitigate emissions in road transport. Nevertheless, to decarbonize maritime shipping, inland waterway transport and aviation, different approaches are needed. Green hydrogen from renewable energy sources, power fuels (e.g. Power-to-Liquid (PtL)) and innovative solutions such as catenary truck systems are viable options to effectively mitigate carbon emissions and make transport more sustainable.
The integrated and effective application of electric buses in public bus systems is an important key to making transport more climate- and environment-friendly by lowering carbon and air pollutant emissions. In recent years, the number of new energy buses has rapidly increased in China (including
Bus electrification is a systematic programme encompassing not only the procurement of buses, but also the adjustment and optimisation of related bus networks, their operation capacity allocation, as well as the design, construction, and operation of needed charging infrastructure. Covering, amongst other initiatives, all of
The electrification of large vehicle fleets, especially taxi fleets, is a necessary component for achieving international and national climate targets. This measure can also make an important contribution to reducing particulate matter and noise pollution in cities. In China, local governments are increasingly intervening in
The 5th Transport and Climate Change Week (TCCW) took place between 9th and 13th May, 2022. It is an international conference focused on knowledge-sharing and peer-to-peer exchange on the challenges and best practices for achieving sustainability goals and decarbonisation in the transport sector. Around 1,500 experts and decision-makers from around the world joined the week-long conference through its online platform, where they could follow and engage with the events, as well as connect in online networking spaces.
