Environmental impact reduction strategies Impact = Transport volume * environmental efficiency Reduce transport volume Fewer trips Shorter trips Increase environmental efficiency More efficient vehicles More efficient transport modes Higher load factors Cleaner fuels
Reduce transport volume Fewer trips Activity level in society ICT developments Shorter trips Increased specialisation Spacial development driven
Increase environmental efficiency More efficient vehicles Cars and CO2 regulation Smaller vehicles NEDC More efficient transport modes Collective vs. Individual Flexibility Higher load factors Depends on fleet size and price Cleaner fuels Biofuels and electricity
Environmental impact reduction strategies Impact = Transport volume * environmental efficiency Reduce transport volume Fewer trips +/- Shorter trips - Increase environmental efficiency More efficient vehicles +/- More efficient transport modes - Higher load factors +/- Cleaner fuels +
EEA transport scenarios: - a user perspective Transport users do understand the challenge Transport users more ready to alter daily commute than long distance travel habits Transport users worried about equity impacts of higher transport prices Transport users asks policy makers to show leadership and be less concerned about a four year election cycle
