Climate Change Responding (CCRUTT) Research Group
About Our Research Group
Research Group on Climate Change Responding (CCRUTT)
The Research Group on Climate Change Responding (CCRUTT) at the University of Transport Technology is a multidisciplinary research team dedicated to addressing climate change challenges in the transport sector. Established in 2016, CCRUTT brings together a strong core of experienced academics and young researchers, including Associate Professors, PhD holders, doctoral candidates, and Master’s degree holders, while actively collaborating with national and international experts and engaging students in research activities.
CCRUTT focuses on cutting-edge research on environmental pollution from road transport, climate change mitigation and adaptation in transportation and smart infrastructure, new fuels and alternative energy, emission reduction technologies, electric and hybrid vehicles, green mobility solutions, transport policy, and gender issues in transportation. Through applied research, policy-oriented studies, and international cooperation, CCRUTT aims to contribute practical solutions toward sustainable, low-carbon, and inclusive transport systems in Vietnam and beyond.
