Transport and mobility

Portfolio overview

Transport is a pillar of our society. It sustains international exchanges, has fuelled unprecedented economic growth, and underpins the functioning of our economic and social systems. Yet the transport sector faces significant challenges. As it strives to become more energy-efficient, climate-resilient, safe, sustainable and fair, it must also remain competitive in the global industrial ecosystem. 

This portfolio aims to anticipate and support the design and implementation of EU policies on transport and mobility. Building on independent and evidence-based scientific expertise, it will support research and promote innovation.
