This executive summary argues that electric vehicles (EVs) are the most effective tool for reducing the European Union's reliance on imported oil and enhancing energy security. It proposes a five-pillar strategy—Deploy, Build, Power, Flex, and Protect—to transition road transport from oil dependence to electric security.

This policy brief summarizes a UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) assessment on reducing road transport emissions and improving public health in Indonesia through strategic policy pathways.

A research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute that develops a detailed road transport inventory for greenhouse gases and air pollutants in Kenya to analyze policy scenarios and project emissions from 2010 to 2050.

This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the implementation of Green Public Procurement (GPP) across eight EU Member States, focusing on the road transport and construction sectors. It identifies significant gaps between stated climate targets and actual procurement practices, highlighting barriers such as fragmented governance, lack of standardized data, and limited capacity among procurement officers. The document provides best practice examples from various regions and offers 17 policy recommendations to harmonize GPP across the EU to support the 2030 climate target of a net 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

This briefing by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the implementation of Green Public Procurement (GPP) in the road transport and construction sectors of Sweden and the Netherlands. It analyzes the governance structures, tools, and barriers that influence the adoption of low-carbon procurement practices in these two EU Member States.

This research paper by the World Resources Institute uses LEAP model scenarios to analyze the decarbonization of China's road transport sector, identifying peaking timelines for emissions and petroleum demand, long-term reduction potentials, and the necessary investment scales to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.

This research paper analyzes the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in Kenya, identifying barriers to adoption and comparing national efforts with international strategies to accelerate road transport electrification.
