If you'd asked us where to look for low carbon transport innovation just a few years ago, the answer would have been simple: the automotive sector. And whilst there's little doubt that car makers remain the most visible and -arguably - enthusiastic adopters of environmentally clean technologies (see this issue's news story on JLR's ramped up electrification plans page 8) they are no longer alone. Today, engineers in every imaginable area of the transport and mobility sectors - from rail and aerospace, through to marine and even defence - are playing an increasingly prominent role in addressing the defining technology trend of our time: the push for zero carbon. In this issue we take a look at two areas of low carbon transport innovation that have received relatively little attention so far, starting with the subject of this issue's cover story: marine technology (Page 12).
