Environmental Benefits of C-V2X
There is increased interest in the potential environmental benefits of C-V2X, given that substantial transport emissions reductions are required to help mitigate climate change, and the upcoming EC Strategy on Sustainable and Smart Mobility which intends to propose matching measures to the “unprecedented ambition to achieve 90% reduction in emissions by 2050”. The question is to what extent connected driving, with increasing levels of automation, can lead to environmental benefits. 5GAA, the 5G Automotive Association, asked TNO to conduct a study into the environmental effects of V2X communication as it is currently used in transport and as it can be used in future implementations.
