answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2023 answer text <p>The Department maintains a wide interest in research relating to all elements of transport, including shared mobility solutions. The research paper in question was one of several to inform the International Transport Forum’s report <em>Good to Go? Assessing the Environmental Performance of New Mobility</em>, which policymakers and analysts have considered in detail. The ITF report notes that the carbon emissions of shared mobility solutions are significantly affected by the factors shaping the construction of vehicles and operational practices.</p><p> </p><p>The report also states that significant progress has already been made in increasing the durability of e-scooters, reducing emissions per-kilometre from 122gCO<sub>2</sub> to 106g in a relatively short period of time, with the potential for known techniques to reduce this to as little as 37g.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 26/06/2023 11:56:49 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
