Summary

Transport is at the centre of many economic and social development challenges, accounting for about 60% of the global oil consumption. We are in the midst of a fundamental paradigm shift of how we power mobility. Mobility will be powered by a wide range of solutions, including electricity, hydrogen and renewable fuels. This paradigm shift is driven by an urgent need to reduce transport-related emissions, and only by combining all available solutions will we meet climate goals. The climate cannot wait. 

When aspiring towards more climate-friendly solutions, all emissions during the vehicle’s life cycle must be taken into consideration, from the manufacturing to the recycling. None of the alternatives available, e.g. electrification or renewable fuels will be sufficient alone, especially not according to the required schedule. Remaining to focus on a single solution would be a grave mistake. The necessary technical breakthroughs already exist. All we have to do is to create an operating environment and culture that allow us to make optimum use of technologies to combat climate change.
