Halving emissions from transport calls for more environmentally friendly cars and fuels. VTT helps with the pursuit of climate targets by innovating alternative solutions.

According to Finland’s National Energy and Climate Strategy, emissions from transport need to be cut by as much as 50 per cent by 2030. The target must be attacked from all angles – by introducing not only electric cars and hybrid vehicles but also better and greener fuels. The rapid deployment of renewable diesel and biogas requires a more extensive supply and distribution network. New financing options are needed to lower the average age of vehicles in Finland and new MaaS solutions to discourage driving.
