DEDICATED TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE Mobility 2030 Meeting the challenges to sustainability Overview Presented by Masayuki Sasanouchi Toyota Motor Corporation Buenos Aires Dec 16, 2004 The Sustainable Mobility Project
Mobility 2030 • Defines “sustainable mobility” and provides indicators for measuring it • Provides a frank assessment of outlook if present trends continue • Proposes seven goals for improving outlook • Describes the potential contribution of vehicle technologies and fuels • Identifies factors that ultimately will determine extent to which goals are realized

Sustainable mobility The ability to meet the needs of society to move freely, gain access, communicate, trade and establish relationships without sacrificing other essential human or ecological values today or in the future.
Indicators • Access to mobility • User costs • Travel time • Reliability and comfort • Safety • Security • Greenhouse gas emissions • Impact on environment and public well-being • Resource use • Impact on public revenues and expenditures • Equity Implications • Prospective rate of return to private business Mobility Users Society as a whole Mobility Providers
Outlook if present trends continue“We can’t live without mobility; but can we live with it?”
Mobility 2030’s conclusion regarding outlook When factoring in all the indicators, it appears that today’s system of mobility is not sustainable. Nor is it likely to become so if present trends continue. Mobility 2030, p. 58
Seven goals for improving the sustainability of mobility • Reduce conventional emissions from transport to levels where they do not constitute a significant public health concern anywhere in the world • Limit GHG emissions from transport to sustainable levels • Reduce the number of transport-related deaths and injuries worldwide • Reduce transport-related noise • Mitigate traffic congestion • Narrow “mobility opportunity divides” • Preserve and enhance mobility opportunities available to the general population
Limit transport-related GHG emissionsReference case projections – major regional grouping
Strategic elements are illustrated by “ASIF” identity Transport-related GHG emissions = A*S*I*F Activity (volume of passenger and freight travel) Structure (shares by mode, utilization factors, and vehicle type) Intensity (fuel use per unit of vehicle activity) Fuel type (GHG characteristics of fuel used)
Determinants of “A” and “S” Transport demand characteristics – volume, mix, utilization
Determinants of “I” and “F” Vehicle and fuel characteristics – potential, rates of adoption, in-use performance
Focus of SMP members’ expertise Road Transportation
Assessment of potential for vehicle technologies and fuels to limit GHG emissions from road vehicles Even if implemented worldwide, diesels and hybrid ICEs fueled with conventional gasoline and diesel fuel, or fuel cells fueled by natural gas-derived hydrogen, can no more than slow the growth in road transport CO2 emissions during the period 2000-2050. Only the use of carbon-neutral hydrogen in fuel cells and advanced biofuels in ICE-powered vehicles can largely or totally offset the growth in CO2 emissions produced by the growth in road travel during the period 2000-2050.
Call for action Important progress can be made during the next two or three decades. Prior to 2030, where economically practical and politically acceptable, SMP members believe that the following actions aimed at “bending the transport-related GHG emissions curve downward” should be undertaken: • The energy efficiency of transport vehicles should be improved consistent with customer acceptance and cost-effectiveness. • The technological foundation should be laid for the eventual elimination of the effects of fossil carbon in transport fuel.... • Where new fuel infrastructures are required to permit the eventual elimination of the effects of fossil carbon in transport fuel, planning should be undertaken and, if practical, construction should begin.
Mobility 2030’s conclusion: • Mobility can be made sustainable, but . . . • There is no single “magic” technological solution; portfolio of solutions required • It will take longer than three decades • It will require coordinated efforts, starting now, by all elements of society – business, government, public • It cannot be achieved without the active involvement of the developing world

How significant are transport GHG emissions? (Data for 2000) Source: IEA WEO 2002; SMP calculations
Source: IEA While conventional public transport systems will continue to play a vital role, should develop new mobility systems • Systems should combine flexibility provided by private vehicle with cost and efficiency characteristics of public transport • Goal should be to fit characteristics of mobility systems to the needs and desires of people rather than the reverse • Bus Rapid Transit systems • Advanced paratransit • Shared-use vehicle services (car sharing) • Future fully automated systems
