Mission

The International Council on Clean Transportation is an independent nonprofit organization founded to provide first-rate, unbiased research and technical and scientific analysis to environmental regulators. Our mission is to improve the environmental performance and energy efficiency of road, marine, and air transportation, in order to benefit public health and mitigate climate change.

Global demand for transportation is surging, and with it, inexorably, carbon emissions—not to mention other forms of air pollution.

Transforming the technologies and systems that move people and goods around the world is an urgent imperative.

Now, in little more than a generation, we must radically change a sector that almost exclusively depends on a single energy source—petroleum—operating on infrastructure that represents trillions of dollars of investment over decades.

The ICCT was established in 2001 as an independent source of technical and policy expertise on clean transportation.

In the last five years alone, we have worked successfully with regulators and lawmakers around the world and have played a significant role in 48 distinct regulations and policies.

Together, these efforts are projected to result in billions of tons of carbon dioxide reductions and prevent thousands of premature deaths over the next decade and beyond.
