Knowledge and innovation for a sustainable mobility system Sample Clauses

Knowledge and innovation for a sustainable mobility system. Achieving a fully sustainable mobility system by 2050 will require radical system changes and the implementation of a large number of carbon reduction measures, for which the mission-driven Multi-year Knowledge and Innovation Programme lays the foundations. Providing a precise blueprint of the exact pathway that will lead to the realisation of the 2050 target is an impossible feat, as there are significant uncertainties in relation to, among other things, the development of the potential and the costs of existing and new types of solutions, the acceptance of those innovations and actors’ responses to policies. These uncertainties and the level of complexity involved require adaptive programming for the management of the necessary transitions in a targeted manner. The knowledge required for adaptive programming should be objective and independent and must come about in a transparent, reproducible and consistent manner; having a knowledge infrastructure is key in this regard. Global developments over time The trends in the mobility sector are unfolding along a variety of patterns and at various paces. It is not possible to predict what the future will look like with certainty. Nevertheless, it is safe to assume that mobility will be cleaner, smarter and different to what it was in the past. The key trends have been summarised in the table below. 2019 – 2030 2030 – 2050 Cleaner (means of transport) Electric passenger cars will become competitive (around 2025). Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles will be rolled out further, including possible modifications to the grid. Zero emissions will be the standard; driverless cars see a breakthrough onto the market. Rapid growth of electric vans, public transport buses and light lorries (zero-emissions environmental zones in many inner cities by 2025). Zero emissions will be the standard; driverless cars see a breakthrough onto the market. An increasing number of electric alternatives will be used for heavy road traffic (battery electric and hydrogen). In the interim, heavy road transport will use sustainable and synthetic biofuels/biokerosine/bioLNG as a transition measure toward zero-emissions energy carriers. Sustainable biofuels, preferably for means of transport for which there are no alternatives as yet (shipping and aviation).In addition: rise of electric (incl. hydrogen); adaptation of charging and refuelling infrastructure Zero emissions to dominate (hydrogen electric) and become the standard in goods...
