USAGE OPPORTUNITIES OF SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT

Abstract

The concept of sustainable development combines social, environmental and economic considerations to ensure that resources are used responsibly and do not harm future generations. The transport sector, including aviation, shipping and road transport, is one of the largest sources of CO2 emissions and consumes a significant share of energy. Sustainable transport aims to ensure accessibility, safety, reduce environmental impact and increase efficiency. The EU Green Deal promotes the shift towards smart and sustainable mobility, with an emphasis on increasing the sustainability of transport, the development of multimodal transport and the use of zero emission vehicles. The development of sustainable transport reduces GHG emissions by promoting the use of longer and heavier goods vehicles (LHVs), the integration of artificial intelligence, the electrification of transport and hydrogen technologies. Intermodal transport and alternative fuels such as biodiesel contribute to greener solutions. Effective implementation requires not only technological, but also political and managerial solutions that ensure long-term sustainability.
