In our scenarios, transportation subsectors were shifted to electrified (plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs)) vehicles as much as deemed realistic. And the remaining non-electrified transport was made as efficient as possible to reduce the amount of liquid fuels needed. —Yang et al.
