Abstract
Transport currently accounts for about 28% of total UK energy demand by final users. It is wholly dependent on petroleum derived fuels and nearly 70% of the nation's use of petroleum fuels is taken by transport activities. Thus energy demand for transport has a major bearing on the energy market. This study was carried out in order to analyse the present and future patterns of energy use and to assess the scope for energy efficiency improvements in UK transport. The study covers from the 1950's to 1985. The forecasts of future energy use and energy efficiency is taken as the year 2010. Private and business motoring, service vehicles, road and rail transport of passengers and freight, air and water transport are each considered separately. These sectors are further disaggregated, for example into vehicle type and journey type as far the availability of reliable data allows. (TRRL)
