The research for this thesis relates to the assessment of the material needs for the vehicle fleet for global passenger and freight transport. The specific vehicles in these two categories that were assessed are: maritime vessels, inland shipping vessels, trucks, planes, buses and trains which will be divided into smaller categories of vehicles. First the global stock of the vehicles will be assessed, which is followed by a global dynamic stock and flow MFA (Material Flow Analysis) of these transport vehicles between 1970 and 2050. The MFA will base the stock and flows on the baseline and 2°C scenario of the SSP2 (Shared Socioeconomic Pathway). In these scenarios the extent to which the fleet is electrified is assessed as well as the material consequences thereof.
