In early 2020, the world faced an unprecedented situation as Covid-19 struck globally, placing most countries under lockdown and resulting in significant alteration of many government policies on energy demand, especially on the transport sector.
With many international borders closed and most people forced to stay home, transport patterns were reduced and consumption patterns changed. As a result, daily global CO² emissions of the transport sector decreased by 17% by early April 2020 compared to the 2019 levels.
