The challenge

The transportation sector accounts for nearly one third of greenhouse gas emissions. Recognizing the urgent need to reduce such emissions, our program is committed to transitioning from traditional fossil fuels to clean and renewable energy sources. This transition is not only about adopting new technologies but also about reimagining the future of mobility systems and the necessary adjustments to urban infrastructures to support these changes.
