Energy Saving and CO2 Mitigation as a Result of Reshaping Transportation in Jordan to Focus on the Use of Electric Passenger Cars

Just over half of the energy consumed in Jordan is consumed by transportation, of which passenger cars account for 57 %. This has increased fuel bills and elevated CO2 emissions, creating social and economic pressures. However, these can be ameliorated by enhancing the efficiency with which energy i...
