Abstract

The transport system is fundamental to both meeting social needs and providing the lifeblood for the economy. In recent years, transport and especially the automotive sector has had to respond to increased competition and environmental concerns. Technological innovations in transport appear particularly important since they could provide competitive advantage for providers of transport technology and also address environmental issues. This article considers both short‐term and long‐term policy implications which emerge from analysis of national foresight studies in the area of transport.
