T-2D4-TE-3 - Efficient use of mobile machinery

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: .

By using existing mobile machinery more efficiently, for example by different actors sharing machines, the climate impact is reduced by the fact that fewer machines need to be produced.

Sustainability Category: Amber

Amber

This transition element has only moderate climate impact but may be necessary for maintaining urban needs, with a clear pathway to decarbonization. While not aligned with net-zero targets, this transition element is actively improving the emissions profile and represents intermediate performance on the path to sustainability.
