EU report of the seventh EU-US Transportation Research Symposium 2024 : global pathways to net-zero : behavioural, social and technological Research and Innovation (R&I) strategies for transportation decarbonisation

This report presents the outcomes of the seventh EU-US Transportation Research Symposium held in Washington, DC, in June 2024. Organized by the European Commission (EC), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Transportation Research Board (TRB), the symposium addressed decarbonising transportation through four key topics: electrification and alternative fuels, a just transition to net-zero transport, leveraging digitalisation and AI, and sustainable transportation systems. It outlines strategic recommendations for EU-U.S. collaboration, including key research questions and programming and policy-level initiatives. It does so by highlighting the current research landscape and suggesting pathways to overcome collaboration barriers, particularly in the area of Decarbonisation. This document serves as a guide for future joint efforts towards sustainable transportation systems.
