Sustainable mobility

To accelerate the transition to climate neutral mobility, the development of self-learning control systems for sustainable powertrains is crucial to guarantee minimal energy consumption and operational costs over life time and to minimize development time and costs.

'The shipping industry is like a big vessel: it takes time to change course, but when we are on route, we’re unstoppable'.

Jurrit Bergsma and his colleagues are looking for solutions to the challenges of making the shipping industry more sustainable. He does this as a business developer and a PhD candidate, both for the shipping industry itself and the world in which we live.

My research focuses on the development of models and tools to design resilient future mobility systems in such a way that cities and regions remain accessible and liveable.

My daily work is the determination of the true, real-world environmental and climate impact of specific mobile emission sources, such as vehicles, mobile machines, and ships. Combining this with the fleets, their normal usages, and effectiveness of policy and regulations, the total effect for the Netherlands is determined.
