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

27 May 2025

The CCAM Partnership initiated a study in March 2024 with the support of the European Commission Joint Research Centre focusing on uncertainties regarding the potential impact of CCAM on road transport energy intensity. The results were presented at the EUCAD 2025 held in Ispra on 13-15 May 2025.

The EC JRC study “On the Energy Intensity of Road Transport in the Presence of CCAM Services” is available for download from the JRC website.

This study investigated the energy consumption of Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) services in urban and highway environments. It evaluated different scenarios, including urban use cases like robotaxis, automated shuttles, and high-frequency buses, along with highway applications. Additionally, the study assessed how these services affect traffic flow.
