2024
Mobility in Germany is becoming increasingly sustainable. However, the transport sector is yet to achieve its national and international climate targets. This is for the most part due to road traffic – cars remain Germany’s preferred mode of transport.
On behalf of the ADAC, Prognos compiled the ADAC Mobility Index 2024. In this third edition, we examined the latest available data on transport behaviour in Germany. The index provides a scientifically based data base giving a transparent overview of how the transport sector is developing. Equally, it creates a basis for objective discussion, which can enable sustainable changes in mobility.
The index is based on scientific methods and publicly available data that map mobility in individual and public transport. In the process, short as well as long-term changes are documented, evaluated and their origins analysed. Sustainability in the Mobility Index is based on ecological, economical and social aspects that are assessed across five areas: transport safety, climate and environment, availability, reliability, and affordability.
The year 2015 serves as the base year with an index value of 100. Around 85 percent of the data comes from public statistics, the remaining 15 percent were made available by trade associations and businesses.

As part of the Energy Efficiency Financing Coalition, Prognos has been selected as a member of the Austrian National Hub. There, we are involved in the working group for small and medium-sized enterprises and contribute our expertise on energy efficiency and its financing.
In the context of the energy transition, the role of combined heat and power is also changing. Prognos evaluated the development and developed recommendations for funding and legal bases.
For a public institution in Austria, Prognos developed a data-driven analysis tool that systematically assesses the performance of research, technology and innovation across the energy transition.
Our study for the European Environment Agency shows that the clean-tech industry is growing rapidly – yet a skilled workforce is becoming a crucial factor in achieving the EU’s net-zero targets.
Through the Industrial Transformation funding programme, Austria aims to drive forward industrial decarbonisation. Prognos has evaluated the programme’s impact.
Prognos and its partners support the preparation of the German government's 2025 to 2027 greenhouse gas projection reports.
The CCRI focuses on the implementation of a circular economy in European cities and regions. Prognos is supporting the initiative as a project partner in the associated Coordination and Support Office.
What will Switzerland look like in the future? A welfare state in a fair world or an energy guzzler in fortress Europe? We examined the potential impacts of different scenarios on greenhouse gas emissions.
Prognos is supporting the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of the Environment in organising, implementing and establishing the world's first trade exhibition for the climate adaptation industry.
A single heat day costs the German economy 431 million euros. Our study for the BMAS examines how preventive, climate-change-friendly occupational safety measures can help to limit the damage.
We combine economic research and strategy consulting for sustainable decisions in politics, business and society. Our robust data, precise analyses and scientifically based findings enable fact-based progress – financially independent, politically neutral.
