Sustainable Transport: A Systematic Literature Review

Sustainable transport research includes a range of real-life issues related to low-carbon/carbon-neutral mobility. To our knowledge, sustainable transport offers an interdisciplinary approach, where relevant solutions are developed, such as in the environmental, industrial and energy areas. As the research areas in transport are vast, in this paper we present the key concepts with the greatest potential for growth within the academic community. The disclosure of key concepts may enable researchers to justify their options in sustainable transport, deepen their knowledge and move forward with their research. To do so, this paper performs a systematic literature review using PRISMA statement. The research findings identified six dimensions and focused on electromobility, micromobility and intermodal transport, which have played a pivotal role in sustainable transport. The need to deepen knowledge on the aforementioned topics should be considered timely, as it can influence the mitigation of climate risk and can have positive implications in the operationalization of the dynamics of cities.
