(1) Introduction: Transportation logistics play a pivotal role in facilitating both individual mobility and supply chain operations on a global scale. However, conventional transportation systems have contributed significantly to urban congestion and environmental degradation. In response to these challenges, there is growing momentum to investigate the potential of renewable energy to power electric vehicles (EVs) and flying automobiles, aiming to reduce fossil fuel dependence and carbon emissions. (2) Objectives: By analyzing key drivers and opportunities for integrating flying vehicles into existing infrastructure through dynamic modeling, this study seeks to accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation. (3) Methodology: A mixed-method approach, combining literature review and causal loop diagram analysis, is employed to understand the factors influencing EV and flying car adoption. (4) Results: Findings highlight the significant potential of renewable energy in reducing emissions and reliance on fossil fuels through widespread EV and flying vehicle adoption. The major drivers and challenges in infrastructure, safety, and airspace management are also identified. In addition, this research emphasizes the importance of sustainable transportation in addressing urban congestion, pollution, and energy security. (5) Conclusions: By leveraging renewable energy and embracing technological advancements, a low-carbon future for transportation can be achieved, benefiting both the environment and society.
