Transport technology might get around consumption habits

The transport industry, given its role in the increase in greenhouse gases, is at the forefront of the movement to drive change through technology.

It generated 23 percent of global CO2 emissions from fuel combustion in 2013, and that rate is forecast to grow.

Its leaders are conscious of the need for change, and they gathered last month for the International Transport Forum Annual Summit in the German city of Leipzig to talk about ways of doing this.
