Transportation today is not sustainable. Yet, before we lose hope, the mobility industry has made large strides to becoming sustainable.

This paper explores the challenges that automotive engineers will face in the near future in the attempt to achieve sustainability. In doing so, this paper attempts provide automotive engineers to place their contributions to sustainability in an achievable framework.
