Project Description
The road transport sector directly contributes approximately 21-23% of man-made GHG emissions depending on the exact metrics and boundaries used (ICCT, 2025). The future trajectory of road sector emissions will depend on many factors, including behavioural, operational and technological developments.
The Automotive sector emissions come primarily from vehicle usage (tailpipe emissions). This is the largest source of CO2 emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels:
Passenger Cars: responsible for about 45% of global transport emissions.
Trucks & Buses: account for around 30% of transport emissions.
Motorcycles & Other Vehicles: contribute smaller fractions.
Hence why the Automotive sector (comprising automakers and auto parts manufacturers) plays a decisive role in shaping the future emissions trajectory. The efficiency and emission intensity of new vehicles and components brought to market will determine which emission reductions are technically feasible. New vehicle technologies will also determine the extent to which complementary actions taken in the energy supply sector and by vehicle users, in response to external policy and financial signals, can result in real future emissions reductions.
