Abstract Mobility and national wealth are closely connected [1]. Growing national wealth leads to a growth of Transportation of goods and people. Moreover, mobility is also one of the human basic needs in our society. Growing demands on mobility has yet its negative impacts on environment (e.g. greenhouse effect, air pollution, lack of fossil fuels etc.) and on our society (exhaust gas and noise emissions, accidents, etc.). In order to reduce CO2 emissions and air pollution, stricter air quality laws have been issued by the governments all over the world, e.g. the European Union legislation sets mandatory emission reduction targets for new cars: The fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 g/km by 2021, phased in from 2020 [2]. On June 30th 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China (NDRC) submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), including the target to peak CO2 emissions by 2030 at the latest and increase the share of non-fossil carriers of the total primary energy supply to around 20 % by 2030 [3]. Shortage of fossil fuels is another global issue faced by all humanity. According to [4], until 2040, transportation will still be the sector in which fossil fuels are mostly consumed.
