Simplifying the transition to safer, more sustainable transportation

The ecosystem of personal and industrial transportation is undergoing a technology revolution. Advanced connectivity and interoperability technology enhances safety and efficiency, while fully electric vehicles generate power and send it back to the grid. It’s a whole new world.

We support the automotive industry, including OEMs and suppliers, as it rapidly pursues the goal of electrified transportation while keeping safety, security and sustainability in focus.

Explore the services, software and support we offer to help fulfill our shared sustainable future.

What’s the state of decarbonized transportation?

In 2023, the IEA issued a scathing report (“Tracking Clean Energy Progress”) that noted a decided lack of progress toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.

Some key points:
  • Passenger and cargo transport rebounded after the first two years of the COVID crisis, leading to a 3% increase in GHG emissions.   
  • Between 1990 and 2022, emissions from transportation grew at a rate faster than any other sector except for industry.   
  • 91% of the fuel used by the transportation sector comes from oil products, a reduction of a measly 3.5% since the ‘70s — more than 50 years ago!
