Transport systems are one of the cornerstones of any environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive modern society. It is therefore of critical importance to improve their performances under both these viewpoints. This contribution is presenting a selection of recent research activities carried out by the Transport research group at the Politecnico di Torino – Dept. DIATI that touch at some of these key issues: starting from a closer look at the opportunities and challenges of electrification and the use of shared vehicles the paper lands to a broader view on how transport planning processes can be supported by researchers to limit environmental impacts and promote inclusiveness.
