Energy Transitions in Transportation: Is it a Technology or a Policy-driven Process?

Last decades observed an outstanding increase in traffic generated by mobility needs, both in passenger and freight. This is largely a consequence of the global trend of last years when we moved from a stock economy to a flow economy and with it substantial change was introduced in logistic processes and transportation became of the production process in most industry and also in services. Mobility was transformed into an opportunity factor both for industries (business opportunity) and for individuals (personal opportunity) and today transport is a key factor of any vigorous economy.
