It examines the historical development in sustainable transportation and the way forward for future sustainable transportation models and strategies.

The choice of these 12 nations is based on sustainable progress in enhancing environmentally friendly means of mobility. The literature reveals that the emphasis on sustainable transportation system in Western European nations is worthy of discussion primarily because of the dramatic improvement attained in reducing emission of carbon dioxide.
