Significant global investments are being made into smart urban mobility technologies but there is limited evidence of the potential co-benefits for reducing carbon emissions, environmental pollutants and human health impacts at scale over long-term. We use conservative estimates vehicle electrification grid decarbonisation to focus specifically on information communication technology (ICT) inte...
