New modelling by Clean Cities reveals transport emissions can be cut by over 90% by the 2030s with swift implementation of well established urban transport measures.
This is the key take-away from a first-of-its-kind study modelling five cities from across Europe (Madrid, Greater Manchester, Milan, Brussels and Warsaw). The measures include: introducing low- or zero-emission zones, greening urban logistics fleets, electrifying the public transport network, expanding cycling infrastructure, and introducing traffic-calming measures.
The report (E)Mission Zero models four different scenarios representing a range of common decarbonisation strategies – the first prioritising active and public transport, the second electrification, the third combining those two and the fourth being a high-ambition scenario that takes cities close to zero-emission mobility. In the most ambitious scenario, cities would need to go as far as possible on implementing zero-emission zones, electrifying the vehicle fleet and overhauling urban logistics services.
