This brochure presents the result of ERTRAC’s work to develop a "Road Transport Scenario" and follows on from the publication ERTRAC Research Framework: Steps to Implementation (published in March 2008). The 2008 Research Framework presented an overview of the major technological challenges that lie ahead, and which must be addressed in order to ensure that society’s expectations continue to be realised for a greener, safer, and smarter European road transport system. On this basis, ERTRAC identified four ‘Strategic Research Priorities’ and established Working Groups in each area to address major challenges for the future: 1) Energy, resources and climate change, 2) Urban mobility, 3) Long-distance freight transport, and 4) Road transport safety. ERTRAC’s Road Transport Scenario 2030+ presents a forward-looking guide to these challenges, together with the opportunities that will arise for research, development and innovative technologies through 2030 and beyond.
