The green transportation is pivotal in addressing climate change and urban sustainability. In this paper, the components crucial for the successful implementation of green transport systems, including electric cars, hydrogen technology, and smart mobility, were examined. This study employed a systematic literature review in accordance with the PRISMA framework. This paper analyzed 29 peer-reviewed studies to derive the first finding on the critical factors that shape sustainable mobility in terms of technological readiness, supportive policies, social behavior, and economic feasibility. It also analyzes the environmental benefits of carbon emissions reductions, a decrease in air pollution, and energy intensity. While there are optimistic signs, challenges remain, including high costs, lack of infrastructure in certain areas, and weak public involvement. This paper emphasizes the importance of cohesive frameworks that connect innovation, governance, and public engagement to facilitate a faster shift toward sustainable and resilient urban transport systems. Future exploration in green transportation may examine how the pieces of each weather and encompassing socio-acoustic manufacturing attitudes affect people’s travel mode selection, and long run benefits persisted by people whenever they flow into to the green exercises of walking and riding in unique maturity organizations.
