6/7

Low carbon transport study forASEAN

Measures:

Avoid: avoid motorized VKT

(includes NMT); avoid freight VKT

Shift: urban public transport;freight from road to rail

Improve: fuel economy;

alternative fuels; alternative

vehicles; ITS

Two scenarios: mix of avoid, shift,improve measures is needed

under both technologies alone

wont make it!

Public Transport and NMT must be part of solution to a

clean energy and low emissions future
