Um die mittel- und langfristigen Klimaschutzziele Deutschlands im Verkehrssektor zu erreichen, ist neben der Verkehrsvermeidung und Verlagerung auch der Einsatz von alternativen Antrieben und alternativen Kraftstoffen notwendig. Ausgehend von heute verfügbaren durchschnittlichen Fahrzeugen, Antrieben und Kraftstoffen wird eine plausible Entwicklung untersucht, die sowohl die Fahrzeugeigenschaften als auch die steigende Beimischung synthetischer, strombasierter Kraftstoffe umfasst. Endpunkt ist eine weitestmöglich defossilisierte Welt im Jahr 2050. Untersucht wird jeweils durchschnittliche Pkw, leichte Nutzfahrzeuge und Lkw der Baujahre 2020, 2030 und 2050. Die Umweltwirkungen je gefahrenem Kilometer werden durch eine umfassende ökobilanzielle Analyse ermittelt, welche sowohl die Fahrzeugherstellung, -nutzung, -wartung und -entsorgung umfasst, als auch die Bereitstellung von synthetischen, biogenen und fossilen Kraftstoffen und Fahrstrom. Insgesamt zeigen sich die batterieelektrischen Fahrzeugkonzepte für alle Fahrzeugtypen und Baujahre als überlegene Lösung bezüglich der Treibhauswirkung und des kumulierten Energieaufwandes. Mittelfristig ist für sie die Nutzung des deutschen Strommixes aber noch mit deutlichen negativen Wirkungen bei anderen relevanten Umweltwirkungen verbunden. In einer defossilisierten Welt liegen alle Technologien auf niedrigerem Niveau bezüglich ihrer Umweltbelastung, doch die meisten Umweltwirkungen gehen nicht so stark zurück wie das Treibhauspotenzial. Während dieses je Fahrzeugkilometer bei den Pkw durchschnittlich um 96 % gegenüber 2020 sinkt, verringern sich etwa Versauerung und Feinstaubbelastung nur um 40-60 %. Auch durch ihre Sensitivitätsanalysen zeigt diese Studie zentrale Stellschrauben zu kurz- und langfristigen Verbesserungen. Diese betreffen vor allem die Rohstoffe zur Herstellung der Fahrzeuge und die Erzeugung des Stroms - auch für synthetische Kraftstoffe.
