To preserve the benefits of mobility, climate-friendly solutions must also be found for this sector. GES believes that the decarbonisation of road transport requires an open-technology and scientifically grounded approach. Alongside battery-electric powertrains, hybrid solutions (including range extenders) and internal combustion engines running on climate-friendly fuels will also play a role in the long term. In this regard, GES advocates technological competition \u2013 rather than bans. We propose a cost-effective and socially acceptable transformation pathway. We are planning further, concrete proposals for the implementation of this far-reaching programme.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/global-energy-solutions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/260514executive_sammary_final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in the short version<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/global-energy-solutions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/260526_positionspapier_dekarbonisierung_strasenverkehr_final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in the long version<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Individual mobility is a central component of modern societies and a prerequisite for economic participation, social equality of opportunity and personal freedom.
