D2.2 Different transport modes and their sustainability

The present report is the Deliverable from task 2.2 of the ADMIRAL – Advanced Marketplace for Low Emission and Energy Transportation project, funded by the European Union under the HORIZON-CL5-2022-D6-02 with Grant Number 101104163. Task 2.2 – Different transport modes and their sustainability now and in the future, is centred on the identification of the main current transport modes, their sustainability impact and what are the new modes arising at the macro and micro levels. Overall, the research methodology used to develop task 2.2 included the following:a) Knowledge Discovery in scientific databases and data mining techniques are used to identify the main technologies under development and their expected impacts and applications.b) A survey tool was developed on transport technology options addressing reduction of CO2 emissions and energy efficiency measures that targeted worldwide companies (macro level). The QR code of this survey (new tool for mobile connections) was delivered to partners before the Transport Innovation Forum 2023 in Vilnius held on 23-24 November 2023.c) Semi-structured interviews were conducted between 12th December 2023 and 5th March 2024 at the micro level, aiming to engage a representative sample of companies at each Pilot level. The engagement of these stakeholders enables us to assess in each specific context their needs and actions to reach Net Zero (synergies of WP2 and WP5), focusing on the role of transport and technology along with other non-technology factors and perceived sustainability impacts. Results are important to advancing analytical tools in research and innovation studies and are useful for policy makers and foster the dialogue across the whole community of stakeholders across pilots to converge to sustainable transition pathways towards Net Zero.
