Factors influencing CO 2 emissions and strategies for emissions reduction in Malaysian transportation sector

The rapid urbanisation and economic growth has led to unprecedented increase in CO 2 emissions, which led to a vital global issue due partly to the rise in demand from the transport sector. In the years ahead, the transport services demand is likely to increase further, which lead to intensification...

The transportation sector in Malaysia contributes for about 28% of total CO 2 emissions, of which 85% of it goes to road transportation mode.
