Abstract

The article deals with problems in the area of consumption fuel and energy resources and energy efficiency of the Odesa regional transport complex. To solve the problems of energy consumption of road transport, the volumes of consumption of fuel and energy resources for transport work are analyzed. Reserves for reducing the consumption of fuel and energy resources, possible areas of innovative development and energy efficiency of road transport are identified, because the transport component is significant in the cost of goods and services, and in the cost structure of transport work the share of fuel and energy resources is about 70%. The study of the volume and structure of consumption of fuel and energy resources for road transport allowed to determine the basic level of consumption, in relation to which it is necessary to develop measures to implement innovations to improve energy efficiency, as well as to provide energy estimates to determine possible prospects. At this stage, the largest share of energy consumption in road transport falls on diesel fuel and gasoline. Given that the consumption of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) is less harmful to the environment, these fuels have a lower cost and the share of consumption of these fuels at this stage is insignificant, the policy to improve the energy efficiency of road transport in the short term, it can focus on reducing the consumption of motor gasoline and gas oils (diesel fuel). The main priorities for improving energy efficiency in road transport are the introduction of innovations, which include: the introduction of smart and integrated transport technologies, the transition to clean, green, energy-efficient rolling stock, in particular, vehicles with electric power plants, charging infrastructure and maintenance of vehicles with electric power plants, creation of intelligent parking systems, optimization of public transport systems, digitalization of vehicle operation processes. The results of the article can be used in practice to develop measures to improve the efficiency of road transport, as well as for further research and development in terms of innovative development of transport systems. Key words: energy consumption, energy efficiency, road transport, innovative development, transport system.
