TRA 2020 Rethinking transport
Conference I 27-30 April 2020 I Helsinki Electrification of road transport is progressing at rapid growth rates. Viable electric mobility technologies and solutions are being introduced and deployed in many transport modes. Electrification is a key measure to reduce total energy use and carbon footprint from the transport sector. Also, it helps mitigating air quality problems in urban areas. The session will present and discuss the status and outlook of transport electrification in the global setting, in terms of technology, market, procurement, finance, and the multitude of local and regional implementations |

European perspective in urban transit systems is discussed through the European clean bus deployment initiative and the APOLLO project. Global EV outlook gives status of policy and market diffusion in the global context, whereas approaches to sustainable electrification in large urban areas is addressed through recent activities of the EU-funded SOLUTIONS+ project, which, together with UN Environment and the International Energy Agency, establishes a global platform for shared, public and commercial e-mobility solutions.
