3.5 Road infrastructure for road transport decarbonization

On-road freight and passenger transport represent over 75% of global inland transport and must decarbonize to achieve the goals of The Paris Agreement. Technical Committee 3.5 "Road infrastructure for road transport decarbonization" shares information from road agencies to accelerate deployment of best practices and avoid missteps by sharing lessons learned. The purpose of this TC includes sharing knowledge on the modern technologies and policy consideration to introduce electric roads.
There is also needs to produce more green energy among the nations, and the road sector has the possibility to contribute to the energy production by deploying smart energy solution on and along the roads. It is important to learn more about these possibilities. (extract from the Strategic Plan)
