Sustainable solutions for future-compatible mobility
Mobility is a basic need of any society, and essential to its development. Sharply rising travel activity is resulting in an exacerbation of the climate issue and scarcer resources. The transportation sector is responsible for around 25% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions – on a rising trend. This is compounded by other significant negative effects on the environment and society, such as air pollution, the fatalities and injuries caused by accidents, as well as noise pollution. Various strategies are being used to lessen the impact on the environment and society caused by the volume of travel and to satisfy the growing need for mobility in an optimum manner: greener powertrain systems, changes in the modal split – that is, dividing mobility between different transportation modes – and new mobility concepts.

The greening of private travel is being helped by more efficient and less polluting engine technologies, for example, as well as the electrification of powertrains as in the case of hybrid and electric vehicles. The change in the modal split, in particular from road to rail traffic, is being assisted by the promotion of public and non-motorized transportation. To reduce private travel, this will need to be combined with alternative forms of mobility and intelligent mobility concepts. Video conferences can replace business travel, while intelligent mobility concepts offer an ideal way to combine public transportation service with private travel. Efficiency improvements and greening are bringing a reduction in environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions.
