Abstract
The previous chapters in this publication explored specific issues relating to the future of mobility, such as efficiency improvements, modular change and electrification. Rather than looking at technical and structural issues, this paper will concentrate instead on global resource constraints and how behavioural change will be a vital element of the solution.
