[EN27] Energy efficiency and energy consumption in the transport sector
Driving forces

Key message
Bad

The most of energy in transport is used in cars, followed by trucks, the share of which is growing very fast. Efficiency of energy use with excluded influence of transit transport is improving, but too slow.

The indicator shows distribution of energy use in transport regarding type of transport (road transport, rail transport, air transport) and further on also distribution of energy use in road transport regarding types of vehicles (cars, trucks, buses and motorbykes). Additional indicator shows movement of energy efficiency in transport.

Energy efficiency affects energy use. Increase of energy efficiency affects, at the same activity, reduction of energy use. If increase of energy efficiency affects activity increase, the so called rebound effect happens.
