Primary topics

  • Climate neutrality in transport

    Transforming the transport sector is crucial for the success of the clean-energy transition. Transforming transport requires decarbonisation and sustainable mobility. The guiding principles are ecological effectiveness, economic efficiency and social justice.

  • Social justice

    The transport transition has added value for society beyond climate protection. It also serves to enable participation, improve health and quality of life and distribute the costs and opportunities of the transformation fairly.

  • Transformation of the automotive industry

    The transport transition secures Germany as an industrial location. The future belongs to suppliers of climate-neutral vehicles. Shaping structural change is an opportunity for employment. The financial sector plays a decisive role in the transformation.

  • Mobility in urban and rural areas

    The mobility transition has already begun in cities. Fewer private cars are creating valuable space for walking, cycling and public life. The countryside will also benefit from the mobility transition. In the countryside, the private car remains important.

  • Public transport & mobility services

    Public transport is part of public services of general interest and the backbone of the transport transition.  Sharing services and flexible on-demand services complement scheduled services, especially in rural areas. The smartphone is the key to networked mobility.

  • Corporate mobility & commuter traffic

    Companies in all sectors are part of the transport revolution. They are promoting electric mobility with electric vehicle fleets and charging points. They are developing sustainable options for business trips and commutes. Some journeys can be avoided by working from home and holding digital meetings.

  • Electromobility & sector coupling

    Electromobility is the key to the energy transition in transportation. Battery electric vehicles are the benchmark for efficiency and costs. Power supply and transportation benefit from sector coupling. Electromobility offers flexibility to the electricity sector.

  • Digitalization & autonomous driving

    Digitalization in transport contributes to the mobility turnaround and expands the political scope for action. Autonomous vehicles are shared and integrated into public transport to counteract an increase in mileage.

  • Raw materials & circular economy

    Electromobility requires an environmental and resource strategy. Internationally harmonized procedures are needed to calculate greenhouse gas emissions in supply chains. Material-specific recycling reduces the need for primary raw materials. 

  • Freight transport & logistics

    The following applies to freight transport: strengthen rail, decarbonize road. Competitive rail freight companies exploit the potential of rail. European policy points the way to climate-neutral trucks.

  • Fuels & air and sea transport

    Climate-neutral fuels complement electricity from wind and sun. In aviation and maritime transport, they will be indispensable for the foreseeable future in order to advance climate protection. Sustainability standards ensure the integrity of electricity-based fuels.

  • Financing & infrastructure

    Transport infrastructure is being rethought, planned and financed. The planning of transportation routes supports the reduction of emissions. The infrastructure of the future is more than just concrete and steel. New ways of financing are steering the traffic turnaround.
