Planes, trains, and automobiles! But, make it sustainable.
With the current landscape, the majority of our transportation methods rely on diesel, gasoline, and jet fuels. According to Project Drawdown, the transportation sector accounts for roughly 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions each year.
The challenges in this sector are threefold — it’s key to find alternative forms of mobility (hey MicroMobility), improve efficiency, and electrify.
By reducing the demand for fossil-fuel-based transportation, we can alleviate emissions, save money, reduce pollution, and improve living conditions.
Companies like Culdesac, EVgo, Flock Freight, ChargePoint, Bolt Mobility, Alstom, Neste, and many more are making these goals far more achievable.
