T-1B1a-10 - Shift to electric cargo bikes

TBD

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: TBD.

Electric vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions. They are also significantly more energy efficient and quiet than fossil-fueled vehicles. The shift to electric cargo bikes reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps create a better urban environment.

Transition Element

• Type of shift: Type Shift
• Activity: TBD
• Operation: TBD
