SWEDISH car
manufacturer Volvo Group has submitted a report to United Nations
Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon containing ten recommendations on how sustainable
transport can advance sustainable development.
CEO Martin
Lundstedt,
in his role as co-chair of the High-Level Advisory Group on Sustainable Transport,
delivered the report with ten recommendations, which calls for increased
international development funding, supportive legislation and incentives to
promote new transport technologies.
The
report also highlights ElectriCity, the Volvo Group's full-electric bus route
in the city of Goeteborg, as an innovative collaboration in the field of new,
clean public transport.
As
one of two co-chairs, Volvo has led the work of the advisory group, which
includes leaders from the public and private sectors and represents all modes
of transport, the vehicle manufacturer said in a statement.
Sustainable
transport is a driver of sustainable development and a precondition for
economic growth, eradicating poverty and combating climate change. The shift
towards sustainable transport represents great opportunities for our
industry," Mr Lundstedt said.
The
report concludes that technology will drive progress and that all types of
transport should be made as efficient as possible in the areas where they are
most effective.
