The mobility transition opportunity

However, road transport remains accountable for 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions – and personal passenger vehicles account for nearly half of that impact. In addition, we’re experiencing changing consumer preferences and regulatory requirements. As an industry, we must therefore continue to support a sustainable and long-lasting mobility transition, while addressing our own emissions.

At Inchcape, we recognise that the mobility transition is unfolding at different speeds across different markets. Globally, we operate in 40+ markets, which enables us to have a deep understanding of the differences across markets. While some are moving rapidly towards full electrification, others require a more phased approach — blending low- and zero-emission technologies in line with their unique contexts. Importantly, the automotive industry is rising to the challenge and today’s cars are significantly more fuel-efficient and emission-efficient than ever before, regardless of the powertrain, Inchcape proudly works with more than 60 OEM partners, enabling us to offer a broad range of vehicles across price points and technologies to address the diverse needs in each one of our markets.

In addition to diversifying vehicle offerings to include more low-emission and electric models, the automotive industry is also focused on reducing its environmental impact through ambitious emission reduction targets. At Inchcape, since 2019 we have made strong progress in reducing emissions across our operations and portfolio by driving emissions reductions and efficiencies across our value chain.
