NanoData Landscape Compilation. Transport

This report offers a snapshot of the status of the environment for nanotechnology in the context of transport. Transport is defined here as a sector based on vehicles for transporting people and/or goods via the air, rail, road, water and space1, and is here divided into two main areas, vehicles and infrastructure. The industry generates about 5% of European employment and 7% of European GDP2. However, transport is also responsible for the emission of nearly 25% of greenhouse gases in the EU3.
