Introduction

Global warming and the depletion of non-renewable resources have highlighted the importance of sustainable mobility and green technologies. Transport systems have significant impacts on the environment, accounting around 25% of world energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions from transport are increasing at a faster rate than any other energy using sector. On top of that, road transport is also a major contributor to local air pollution and smog. Due to these alarming scenario, International Conference on Sustainable Mobility 2010 (ICSM 2010) is aimed at providing opportunities for participants to exchange ideas, findings, promote knowledge sharing and co-operate in the field of sustainable mobility.

Objectives

The seminar objectives are:

• To provide an avenue to present ideas and studies related to the aspect of sustainable technology.

• To build networks, share experiences and best practices between universities, industries and government bodies.

• To contribute and share knowledge towards achieving excellence in automotive engineering.
