The transport sector accounts for around 16% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to 8.6 gigatonnes (Gt) in 2020. Achieving 50% reductions in emissions in each of the next three decades to reach net zero by 2050 means removing 4.3 Gt of CO2 from total annual transport-related emissions over the next 10 years.

This analysis focuses on the role that mobile and digital technology can play in helping companies in the transport sector lower emissions. It provides illustrations of use cases mapped to the broad technology groups of IoT, cellular connectivity, and cloud and analytics.

This research accompanies our main report "Industry pathways to net zero: mobile and digital technology in support of industry decarbonisation", which outlines a high-level quantification of decarbonisation and associated strategies for four key industries that account for 80% of global emissions – manufacturing, power and energy, transport, and buildings.
