Resume:
Die Broschüren der Challenge Bibendum wurden konzipiert, um zu "innovativem Denken" anzuregen und den Dialog zwischen Experten, Unternehmern, politische Entscheidungsträgern, Journalisten und anderen Personen im Bezug auf die Mobilität der Zukunft zu fördern. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie Ihre Kommentare und Anregungen unter diesen Artikeln veröffentlichen. Wir werden Ihre Anregungen in den Heften, die wir in Kürze entwickeln, berücksichtigen.

The introduction of an electric component in the drivetrain of a vehicle - from the very simple stop and start to all-electric motorization - will be the most pertinent evolution of the next twenty years in efforts to achieve fuel savings, to diversify the energy mix, to mitigate CO2 emissions and to improve the quality of life in cities.
Current discussions have done little to explain the issues at stake, be they economic, ecological or societal, concerning the inevitable transformation to achieve an invigorating and harmonious development for road mobility worldwide.
This Challenge Bibendum booklet covers the key aspects of the topic.
Biomass refers to all natural plant or animal material rich in carbon that is renewable over a short period of time (fewer than 10 years).
Liquid or gas fuels obtained by transforming this biomass are called biomass fuels (or biofuels). Nearly all motor vehicles run on oil fuels. Rich in energy, easy to extract and transport and until recently economical, oil has gradually taken precedence over other primary energy sources. However, the hegemony of oil would appear to be compromised due to its forecasted rarity, its negative environmental impact, and the continued growth of transport traffic and the increasing demand for energy.
Today it becomes necessary to explore all alternatives to oil. As one of the energy sources that could be substituted for oil biofuels have a promising future.
This Challenge Bibendum booklet covers the key aspects of the topic.
The debate in the face of climate change aims at indentifying solutions to stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent a dangerous upset in the climate system. Another topic of discussion is to look at how setting a price on carbon could be a powerful incentive to orient the choices made by decision-makers towards goods and services that emit less greenhouse gas.
The rapid increase in traffic and its heavy dependence on fossil fuels is such that transport has become a particularly sensitive issue. The industry,which until now has remained somewhat at a distance from the new carbon economy, must become a more active player; because of the volume of road transport, it is a priority area for action. In order to better curb emissions, we need to look towards a shift in the mobility offer, change our behaviors and find alternative energies.
Connected vehicles and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) provide one of the technical and economic solutions to the transportation challenge facing the 21st century.
Today’s growing, worldwide population wants to be more mobile and in total safety, all of this in a context of limited energy resources and the need to protect the environment. While many programs are currently under way, we are still at the threshold of this new era, both in terms of implications and implementation. Connected mobility heralds a revolution for the “digital traveler”, which will pave the way for new economy of time and space. Moreover, ITS raise sensitive political issues that lead to heated debates, such as “How can the transparency of the data, without which ITS cannot function, be guaranteed whilst respecting privacy?”, “How is it possible to manage the daily transport of a vast majority of the population without depriving individuals of their freedom of choice?”
In 2010, after years of constant increase, 1.3 million people died on the roads and tens of millions were injured, often suffering serious and permanent harm. The financial cost is huge: it is estimated that the economic cost of road accidents represents more than 500 billion dollars annually, or close to 1-3% of GDP with variations from country to country.
Road safety is an important component of public health, quality of life and economic prosperity. By designing safer vehicles and roads as well as promoting a real awareness and a genuine road safety culture, it is possible to significantly reduce the number of road accident victims. The very scale and complexity of the measures to be implemented at a global level constitute a huge challenge.With proactive policies associating all the stakeholders of mobility and enabling them to work together on national and international action plans, the situation can and must change.
