As shown earlier in Fig. 1-3, the transportation sector represents 28% of primary energy consumption. In 2016, the emission of greenhouse gases from the transportation sector surpassed that of the electric power sector in the United States. Therefore, electrifying transportation is of extreme importance where electric motors are used. This is true for all modes of transportation:

1 Ground transportation using automobiles in the form of electric vehicles for personal transport but also in trucks and buses. These could be in the form of electric, hybrid‐electric, or plug‐in hybrid or hydrogen fuel‐cell vehicles.

2 High‐speed trains and metro transit systems.

3 Aircrafts that all use electric generators and motors.
