As shown in Figure 3.19 the fuel use development for gasoline passenger cars dominates the total
gasoline fuel use trend. The recent years development in diesel fuel use (Figure 3.20) is characterised
by an increasing fuel use for diesel passenger cars and light duty vehicles, whereas the fuel
use for trucks and buses (heavy-duty vehicles) has fluctuated since 1999. However, for the latter
vehicle types the sudden fuel use increase in 2003 is very significant.
