This study examines the effect on greenhouse gas (GHG) and pollutant emissions of various measures to reduce the emissions of road transport and accelerate electromobility in Germany.
Electrification is an essential lever for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in road transport. Road transport is responsible for 96% of the GHG-emissions in the transport sector. There is concern that the transport sector will be primarily responsible for failing to meet the 55% cross-sectoral reduction target by 2030.
If the EU holds firm on the 2035 target, the European auto industry has a real chance to be competitive global EV players.

Car, aviation and shipping industries would require 2-9 times the advanced biofuels that can be sustainably sourced in 2050.
