Transport is the only sector that has not reduced its greenhouse gases (GHG) in recent years. To meet the European and global targets to reduce GHG in industrialized countries by 80 to 95% until 2050 compared with 1990 requires that the transport sector is put on a pathway to drastically reduce its emissions. This chapter demonstrates that with a combined R&D and transport policy strategy, reductions of 60 to 70% of GHG until 2050 will be achievable for the European transport sector. Three different approaches have been combined by GHG‐TransPoRD for the analysis of how innovations are emerging in the transport sector and how well positioned would be the European transport industry to develop GHG reduction technologies: a quantitative assessment of R&D investments; the analysis of patents; and the qualitative description of the innovation system transport.
