Pathways to sustainable road transport: A mosaic of solutions

Abstract

Mobility means access-access to markets, to jobs, to education, to economic opportunity, to extended communities. Road transport is therefore fundamental to economic growth and improved living standards, enabling trade and social interaction through the movement of goods and people. It is also fundamental to Shell's business. Most of our products enable some form of mobility. This includes the fuels that power vehicles, such as petrol, diesel and biofuels. It also includes less obvious products, such as lubricants to help engines and drive trains run smoothly, bitumen that paves roads and petrochemical-based plastics that make up more than 10% of the average new car.
