"It is surprising it has taken so long for a journal to emerge that deals
specifically

with sustainable mobility . . . The Journal of Sustainable Mobility is long
overdue."

Dr Paul Nieuwenhuis, Cardiff University, UK; author of The Business of
Sustainable

Mobility

 

We are pleased to announce the inaugural issue of the Journal of Sustainable
Mobility.

The Journal of Sustainable Mobility is the first of its kind, bridging
cutting-edge

engineering and technology developments with social science applications to
create

an interdisciplinary forum to debate and further the development of green
transport

for the future.

 

Focusing on the sustainable developments of the automotive industry and road
transport

management systems, the Journal of Sustainable Mobility explores the links
between

transportation, technological management and innovation, energy use, and
sustainable

development and responsible business, presenting academic research alongside
practical

application in order to inform policy and practice.

 

Topics covered include:

 

* low-carbon vehicles technologies,

* renewable/clean/green technologies;

* biofuels and other sources of renewable energy;

* transportation management systems;

* vehicle emission controls;

* sustainable transport policies and governance

 

The Journal of Sustainable Mobility is published by Greenleaf in association
with

Nottingham Trent University, Cranfield University and the Chinese Academy of
Sciences.

JSM is associated with the Annual International Symposium on Sustainable
Mobility.

The journal was launched on May 28 at the Second International Symposium on
Sustainable

Mobility, held at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China.

 

Editor-in-Chief Dr Michael Zhang is Reader in International Strategy at
Nottingham

Business School. He said:

 

"The continued collaborative effort from the three institutions (NTU,
Cranfield,

and CAS) means we will be holding the symposium annually. As the Chair of
the symposium

and Editor-in-Chief of JSM I am delighted to see it happening at a time when
the

world is witnessing increases in population, in the numbers of vehicles in
use,

and in the annual CO2 emissions and CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.

 

The contribution to those increases from large emerging economies cannot be
overstated.

I hope that both the annual symposium and JSM will become the home for
researchers,

policymakers, and businesses to exchange ideas, share knowledge, stimulate
learning,

and shed light on the evolving paradigm change of sustainable mobility."

 

JSM is essential reading for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and
others 

interested in the latest research and thinking on sustainable transport and
mobility.
