2. Transport is also undergoing one of the most radical upheavals of
any sector.
The stresses and strains of this upheaval manifest themselves in
a plethora of issues and controversies, ranging from industrial
disputes to radical technology development, from restructuring
huge manufacturing systems to conserving scarce resources,
and from integrated transport systems.
3. Ten key issues impacting the transport
sector
1. Decarbonization
2. Air quality
3. Electrification
4. Infrastructure
5. Congestion
6. Efficiency and productivity
7. Disruptive technology
8. Safety and services
9. Trade and jobs
10. Transparency, ethics and trust
4. 1. Decarbonization
• Decarbonisation will continue to be one of the major forces
restructuring transport for the next twenty years, with profound
consequences for consumers, retailers, manufacturers, policy-
makers as well as transport operators.
• The focus to date has been on road transport, but as the regulators
wrestle with delivering reductions, the big guns will swing to cover
two modes of transport relatively un-touched so far: aviation and
shipping.
Recent government data showed UK transport emissions are rising,
driven largely by commercial vehicle traffic volumes, much of which is
associated to the delivery of online products and services.
Paris has banned petrol and diesel cars from 2030.
London will cease buying purely internal combustion engine public
transport vehicles.
