Transport

Future of Cars

Rethinking the Road - The Future of Transport

Transport does not have to mean traffic, pollution and streets dominated by private cars. The alternatives include cleaner fuels, electric vehicles, better public transport, shared bikes and cars, and autonomous technology. The solution is not simply replacing every petrol car with an electric one, but building a faster, safer and more efficient system that gives streets back to people and creates greener, more livable places.
