“…Danish, Baloch, and Suad () reveal that transport energy consumption is the main determinant of growing CO 2 emissions from the transport sector and income decrease CO 2 emissions from the transport sector. In addition, Saleem et al () found that population density, transport, and energy demand contribute to CO 2 emissions in Next‐11 countries.…”

“…To summarize, transport and real income are widely investigated factors of CO 2 emissions (Azlina et al, ; Nassani, Aldakhil, Qazi Abro, & Zaman, ; Saboori, Sapri, & Baba, ). Apart from it, population density is considered a potential determinant of CO 2 emissions that degrade environmental quality (Saleem et al, ). Therefore, the expected sign of α 4 is positive.…”

“…The transport sector accounts for nearly 20% of the world's energy consumption and is accountable for almost a quarter of world's total energy‐related CO 2 emissions (Belloumi & Alshehry, ). Overall transportation considers the highly volatile sector that deteriorates the environment with CO 2 and greenhouse gas emissions (Saleem et al, ).…”

The transport sector due to growing population significantly contributes to greenhouse gases, and its share in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are increasing around the world. Therefore, this study investigates the linkage between research and development (R&D), transport, real income, and transport's CO2 in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries from 1990 to 2015. The study uses long‐run robust panel estimation methods such as mean group, fully modified ordinary least square, and DK standard regression that allow for heterogeneity and cross‐sectional dependence in the panel data analysis. The study finds that real income and population density contributes to CO2 emissions. Furthermore, transport infrastructure has an insignificant impact on CO2 emissions. However, R&D has a diminishing negative impact that lowers CO2 emissions. The control over the high population density and investment in R&D in clean energy production projects are necessary to combat the high rate of transport's CO2 emissions in OECD countries.

“…Coal, oil and natural gas are the essential sources of conventional energy and globally 74% of the total population's fuel consumption depends on these sources [1,2]. The conventional energy sources are depleting day-by-day simultaneously the rate of proliferating is also high which has resulted in an imbalance between the supply and demand for global energy [3][4][5][6]. Hence, there is a scarcity of conventional resources to meet the present energy demand and additional energy is needed to keep the present mankind development [7].…”

Conventional energy resources are depleting very fast and to meet the global energy demand, the scarcity of these resources is the most crucial factor in the present era. One of the major contributors to carbon emissions is transportation sector which survives mostly on conventional energy resources. In the Indian context, the transportation sector contributes about 18% of CO 2 emissions of total emissions. To decarbonize this sector, the vehicles utilizing renewable resources such as solar PV technology would be a sustainable step. Solar energy which is abundant in nature and present everywhere can prove to be a great alternative to conventional resources. In the present study, solar PV technology is integrated with electric and hybrid vehicles. Additional literature review of solar electric vehicles including three-wheeled as well as four-wheeled is carried out. Autonomous vehicles and robots utilizing PV technology are also studied and presented. Finally, the foremost barriers and challenges to adopting PV technology in electric and autonomous vehicles are identified and presented.

“…Acid rain or deposition has its adverse effects on plants and soil, surface water and aquatic life [11]. The accelerated population increase is accompanying by increasing demand for transportation and increasing in levels of the ambient air pollution [12]. Reducing levels of air pollutants from traffic activity becomes a recent challenge for most urban areas in the worldwide.…”

Traffic-related air pollution abatement will remain a challenge because of increasing demand for transportation. This study was aiming to assess the effectiveness of different actions and policies in improving urban air quality. Levels of five air pollutants were simultaneously measured at three locations with different human activities for continuous six years starting from 2010 to 2015 at Dammam City in Saudi Arabia. Data of road traffic policies and administrative actions was obtained from several governmental authorities. Levels of the five pollutants were gradually reduced from year to year with different percents and trends. As for PM10 and VOCs, levels of the industrial and commercial areas were still higher than their recommended air quality guidelines (AQGs) (150 µg/m3 and 0.24 ppm respectively). The traffic management policies and administrative actions appear to be effective to produce significant decreases in traffic-related air pollution concentrations and improve the air quality of urban areas.
