Transport, and in particular road transport, represents a
significant global threat to long-term sustainable development, and
is one of the fastest-growing consumers of final energy and sources
of greenhouse gas emissions. In this book, long-term
energy-economy-environment scenarios are used to identify the key
technological developments required to address the challenges
passenger car transport poses to climate change mitigation and
energy security. It also considers possible targets for policy
support and examines some of the elements that contribute to the
significant levels of uncertainty - particularly social and
political conditions. The book then builds on this long-term
scenario analysis with a broad review of recent empirical examples
of relevant policy implementation to identify near-term options for
the passenger transportation sector, which may promote a shift
towards a more sustainable transport system over the longer
term.Sustainable Automobile Transport will be of particular
interest to those in the policy process who are striving to address
the automobile-derived challenges associated with climate change -
a growing rather than declining problem. It will have a worldwide
audience as every developed and rapidly growing society struggles
to address the dynamic growth in greenhouse gas emissions from
automobiles.
