Technological Solutions
Soft Technologies
Mobility system efficiency enhancements for the demand and traffic flow e.g. urban planning, public transport
Intelligent transport systems (ITS)
e.g. Traffic control, VMS
Aircraft management measures
e.g. Girds for departure, smoother descent
Vehicles usage and lifestyle measures, including telecommuting and avoiding unnecessary journeys

Specific Example: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)
Uses energy stored in rechargeable battery packs
Not internal combustion engine but electric motors
No fuel tank or fuel cell
Purchased over 350k BEV globally by September 2014

BEV Life Cycle Assessment
UK Based Research
In the worst case scenario with high
lifetime km (requiring one battery
replacement), BEVs still have almost
44% reduction on the by 2050
Recharging infrastructure could be
potentially much more significant in
longer term

Conclusion
Integrated Approach is important with other type of solutions
Technological solutions will still have higher costs
Production of electricity should be more cost competitive for EVs
Technological solutions should be deployed in all modes of
transport to reduce conventional energy
