Transportation & Logistics

As global greenhouse gas emissions have been rising, including direct emissions from the transport sector, an increasing focus is placed on this sector to become more sustainable across transportation modes. This shift shapes the global transportation field as policies and regulations have been put in place to decarbonize the industry. New technologies are disrupting traditional aviation as well as maritime transport. These have also led to investments in connected and autonomous vehicles. This commitment to research and development is forecast to fuel market growth in the following years.

These opportunities and challenges affect passenger and cargo transport and have led to changes in the logistics industry, already disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Evolving consumer behavior leads to a larger emphasis on last-mile logistics, which is widening the space for new logistics solutions for urban areas.
