Transforming Mobility: Hitachi Rail’s Vision for Smarter, Greener Journeys
Why is Sustainable Mobility significant?
- The transport sector is the world’s second-largest source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, contributing 23% of global CO2 emissions.1
- In India, while the transport sector accounts for just 5% of gross value added (GVA), it is responsible for 12% of the nation’s CO2 emissions from energy use.1
Decarbonising transport is critical for India’s Net Zero journey, and rail mobility holds the key to driving this transformation
