Road transport
As shown in Figure 6.1, the fuel consumption for road transport 17 generally
increased until 2007, except from a small fuel consumption decline noted in
2000. The impact of the global financial crisis on fuel consumption for road
transport became visible for 2008 and 2009. This fuel consumption development
was due to a slight decreasing trend in the use of gasoline fuels from
1999 onwards combined with a steady growth in the use of diesel until 2007.
Within sub-sectors, passenger cars represent the most fuel-consuming vehicle
category, followed by heavy-duty vehicles, light duty vehicles and 2wheelers,
in decreasing order (Figure 6.4).

Figure 6.4 Total fuel consumption pr vehicle type for road transport 1985-2010.
As shown in Figure 6.5 fuel consumption for gasoline passenger cars dominated
the overall gasoline consumption trend. The development in diesel
fuel consumption in recent years (Figure 6.6) was characterised by increasing
fuel consumption for diesel passenger cars, while declines in the fuel
consumption for trucks and buses (heavy-duty vehicles) and light duty vehicles
were noted for 2008 and 2009.
17 The gasoline and diesel fuel sums include small amounts of bio ethanol and bio
diesel; 1.7 % and 0.02 %, respectively in 2010.
