This study aims to track the EU’s shift from fuel dependence sustainable mobility, assessing current impacts and future efforts for low- zero-emission vehicles renewable fuels reduce crude hydrocarbon imports greenhouse gas emissions. The paper uses methods of composite indices emission intensity, decomposition analysis emissions, causal relationship between transport traffic mobility objectives. Empirical results indicate that deploying in EU saved 10 million tons oil prevented 49 tCO2eq Advancements were more effective curbing emissions (4.7%) than reducing (1.9%) 2013 2022. Projections 2025 objectives significant needed avoid an extra 61 tCO2eq, including adding over 13 units producing about 2 fuel. Both targets are currently at risk. highlights latent potential other hydrocarbons can be transformed non-fossil energy sources. Therefore, monitoring impact is a crucial task transport. It enables informed decisions strategy adaptations ensures environmental economic met both timely effectively.
