The study, published by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre on 5 May 2025, explores the energy implications of Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) in urban and highway settings. It finds that with technological optimisation, the additional energy demands of CCAM systems — such as sensing and communication — can be reduced by over 80%. Shared automated shuttles and high-frequency buses are identified as the most energy-efficient urban solutions, while automated traffic systems on highways can significantly ease congestion and lower energy use. The study highlights the importance of careful implementation and supportive policies to ensure CCAM contributes to a more sustainable transport future.
