A sustainable transportation policy for ASEAN
Southeast Asia’s roads are home to over 20 million cars. This number is expected to rise to 62 million by 2040 according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). At the same time, new high-speed rail systems are being built all over the region, resulting in the recent infrastructure boom. The growth of the transportation sector is a welcome sign as it indicates that the region is catching up economically with the rest of the world.
