2. Sustainable Transportation:
Transportation is an integral part of our daily lives,
connecting people, places and economies. It has been a
long cornerstone of modern civilization, enabling trade,
travel and cultural exchange.
Transport has a big impact on the environment since it
consumes a lot of energy and burns most of the worlds
petroleum, thus, its contributes significantly to global
warming by emiting carbon dioxide and causing air
pollution.
As the world grapples with the pressing issues of climate
changes, there’s a growing realization of the need for a
more sustainable approach to mobility.
3. Sustainable Transportation:
Sustainable transportation is not just about moving from
point A to point B; its about doing so in a manner that
minimizes environmental impact, promotes social well-
being and supports economic growth.
4. Sustainable transportation
Is a means of travel that is safe and
has a little impact on the environment.
it is often referred to as “green environment”
5. Sustainable Transportation seeks to:
Provide efficient, safe, and accesible means of
transport for all while significantly reducing
environmental footprints.
This involves a shift from fuel-dependent vehicles to
cleaner modes of transport, optimizing public
transportation systems fostering urban designs that
promotes non-motorized transport like walking and
cycling.
6. Sustainable Transportation:
Sustainable transportation is a crucial piece of puzzle,
offering both challenges and opportunities in our quest for
a more sustainable world thus, it requires a hollistic
approach mobility, explore the innovations and strategies
that can pave way for a more sustainable transportation
and prioritizes environmental health, social equity, and
economic viability.
7. Sustainable Transportation:
With the following principles, we can pave way for a
transportation system that meets of the present without
comprimising the future by;
Promoting Public transportation: Buses, Trains, and
Trams;
Encouraging Non-Motorized Transport: Walking and
Cycling;
Urban Planning and Design for Sustainable Mobility;
and
Transitioning to cleaner fuels and Energy Sources.
8. Innovations in Sustainable Transportation:
As the urgency to combat climate change intensifies the
following innovations to reduce carbon footprints of
transportation, moving to a sustainable future;
Electric (EVs) and hybrid vehicles;
Hydrogen-Fueled Vehicles and their Potential ;
Car-sharing and Ride-Sharing Platforms;
Smart Transportation system and infrastructure;
9. It’s benefits:
A
Reduces carbon footprints:
By reducing the volume of
vehicles on the road, public
transit produces fewer
emissions per passenger mile
than single-occupancy vehicle.
It decrease air pollution.
B
Reduces Congestion:
Less traffic will allow people
to reach their destination on
time, and more spaces and
roads will help protect our
habitat.
C
Good for public health:
It can improve the public’s
general health.
10. It’s benefits:
D
Pocket-friendly:
Taking public transport to
work is less expensive than
maintaining and fueling a
personal vehicle. Cities may
reduce maintenance costs
for roads and parking lots.
E
Reduces Noise pollution:
Less roads congestion
means less noise and better
living conditions for people.
F
Economic benefits:
Fuel efficiency and cost
savings. Job creation on
green tech sectors.
12. Introduction:
Electric vehicles are regarded as energy transition technology towards
more sustainable and environment-friendly transportation systems.
Despite the benefits of reducing the dependence on fossil fuels and
greenhouse gas emissions, the adoption of electric vehicles faces several
obstacles ranging from financing issues, government policies, and public
acceptance.
Environmental problems relating to air pollution and greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions from combustion of fossil fuels have
prompted different countries and regions to find more sustainable
modes of transportation. Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as
highly promising technology that are expected to play a major role
in energy transition towards a sustainable transport system in the
next decades.In 2018, over two million EVs were sold worldwide
and this number is expected to rise to 56 million by 2040 .
13. What are Electric Vehicles:
An EV is defined as a vehicle that can be powered by an
electric motor that draws electricity from a battery and is
capable of being charged from an external source. An EV
includes both a vehicle that can only be powered by an
electric motor that draws electricity from a battery (all-
electric vehicle) and a vehicle that can be powered by an
electric motor that draws electricity from a battery and by an
internal combustion engine (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle).
EVs are vehicles designed in such a way that they dont use
gasoline, instead of gasoline tank, EVs come with large
batteries used to power their motors. EVs run on batteries.
14. How does it reduces traffic related-emission:
Producing the electricity to power electric vehicles
can generate emissions. But those emissions
levels are far lower than the pollution emitted by
conventional vehicles, and could be even lower as
the electric power sector cleans up over next few
decades.
15. How does it reduces traffic related-emission:
Electric vehicles are an essential part of a clean
energy future.
Electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions,
curbing the pollution linked to congested urban
traffic. They run quietly, reducing noise pollution,
and are often more energy-efficient than internal
combustion engine vehicles.
16. Some Approaches towards renewable Energy:
Electric buses: Electric buses are becoming increasingly
pupolar in many cities worldwide. With zero on site
emissions, they provide a clean mode of public
transportation, reducing noise pollution and improved air
quality and reduced helath risks associated with air
pollution.
Solar Powered Charging Stations: Solar powered charging
stations can help power electric buses or trains, utilizing the
abundant energy from the sun. These stations offer a
sustainable solution to recharge vehicles. It offers long-term
cost savings and increased energy independence for public
transportation authorities.
17. Some Approaches towards renewable Energy:
Hybrid systems: Hybrid systems combine renewable energy
sources, such as solar or wind power, with conventional
energy sources, providing a more reliable and flexible
solution to meet the energy demans of public transportation.
It plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emmission
and combating climate change.
Energy storage solutions: Advances in energy storage
technologies enable the efficient utilization of renewable
energy
18. Advantages and Disadvantages of EVs
1 Energy Efficient
2 4 hour SLA
3 Paid add-on to existing plans
4 No change to existing users
19. Advantages of EVs
1 EVs are desisgned with smart system and regenerative
braking to make it more energy-efficient;
2 It is rechargeable from home, so your home can serve as your
own fuel station;
3 Compared to gas-powered cars electric cars are so much easier
to maintain. There’s no more need to deal with oil changes, spark plug
changes and the upkeep of combustion-related parts;
4 They’re are environment-friendly so they dont contribute to noise pollution;
20. Disadvantages of EVs
1 They’re expensive- Compared with gas-powered vehicles. electric
vehicles in the Philippines come with a hefty price tag;
2 Commercial recharging stations are rare- EVs are new in the Philippines,
which means charging stations are scarce;
3 They have shorter driving ranges- Entry-level EVs have short driving ranges
in between charges, so you’d want to use your EVs only for short trips; and
4 Charging takes times- Some electric cars in the Philippines takes approimately
5 hours to a day reach a full charge, which could be a problem if you have
last minute travel plans. Some models may have a fast charging feauture,
but recharging them still takes about 30 minutes to 2 hours.
