Our Transport & Mobility work is focused on researching how to reduce energy use in the sector. We are developing state-of-the-art models for transport energy demand in the areas of local fleets and plug-in vehicle charging strategies. Energy use in the transport sector is increasingly driven by the challenges of accelerating the adoption of affordable clean technology, whilst managing the effects on demand of changing labour markets, the growth of on-demand mobility services and increased digital connectivity. Despite the focus of much research on local commuter journeys, it is motorways, trunk roads, railways and airlines where energy demand volumes are growing. These long distance journeys account for a small share of trips, a larger share of travel distances and energy use, and an even larger share of climate impacts.<\/p>\n

To address these challenges, we are:<\/p>\n
