New Mobility

Transportation Electrification & the Road to Net Zero

 

How we live, work, and play is rapidly evolving, with the world experiencing an energy transformation in response to climate change. While transportation is the largest contributor of U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, achieving net-zero mobility will require more than electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure—it impacts all markets and sectors. Innovative solutions are needed for grid modernization resulting from the clean energy transition, for the associated land use driven by transportation electrification, and for decision-making that results in equitable community impacts and benefits.

VHB’s latest e-book examines challenges and opportunities associated with the ongoing journey toward net zero. Content includes global case studies, statistics, and insights on:

  • How the power grid will respond to shifting demands
  • Innovative transportation solutions to support new mobility
  • Forward-thinking and equitable land development options

Twentieth century cities developed around petroleum-based vehicles, requiring large infrastructure and construction to support their use. This shaped how our cities looked, operated, and felt. Over the next 30 years, cities will go through a major transformation as we progress toward net zero—reducing carbon emissions to an amount that can be absorbed and stored, leaving zero emissions in the atmosphere. Our industry plays a critical role in shaping new mobility, as both innovators and educators—and the time to act is now. New mobility solutions will allow cities and communities to focus more on sustainable, people-centric designs as we re-imagine the future.
