EC JRC study “On the energy intensity of road transport in the presence of CCAM services”

The CCAM Partnership initiated a study in March 2024 with the support of the European Commission Joint Research Centre to address uncertainties regarding the potential impact of CCAM on road transport energy intensity. The results were presented at the EUCAD 2025 Conference during the session “Potential CCAM implications on road transport energy intensity” on Day 2.

The EC JRC study “On the Energy Intensity of Road Transport in the Presence of CCAM Services” is available for download. This study aimed to determine the energy consumption of Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) services in both urban and highway settings. It analysed various scenarios, including urban applications such as robotaxis, automated shuttles, and high-frequency buses, as well as highway applications. The study also examined the impact of these services on traffic flow.

Discover the findings presented by the JRC team that can help advance CCAM technologies and support measures for achieving safer and more energy-efficient transportation systems.
