Sustainable Mobility
Sustainable Mobility Matters
As more countries reach for an improved standard of living, the demand for personal mobility continues to grow, increasing the pressure on resources today and into the future. This growing demand causes valid concerns covering environmental questions as well as energy-security issues, road-safety worries or the prospect of a “crowding effect.” A new, more sustainable model of transportation is needed, not only to address climate change, but also other challenges such as oil dependency and the strains of urban mobility.
What does Sustainable Mobility look like?
“Sustainable Mobility is the ability to meet society’s need to move freely, gain access, communicate, trade and establish relationships without sacrificing other essential human or ecological values, today or in the future.” (www.SustainableMobility.org)
For automakers, Sustainable Mobility means delivering on our global priorities: convenience for consumers, energy efficiency and safety. And it means doing all of this while minimizing the impact on the environment, using the earth’s limited resources responsibly, relying on renewable sources of energy and fulfilling the industry’s fundamental role in moving world economies forward. To deliver on our global priorities, we need to make sure that vehicles and technology remain affordable, and that a partnership of industries, governments and consumers is in place to advance Sustainable Mobility together.
