Unit consumption of road transport of goods
- Energy efficiency progress of road freight transport, as measured from the decrease of the road freight traffic consumption per ton-km, has accelerated at EU level since 2014 (around 1.1%/year, compared to 1%/year between 2000 and 2007 and 0.5%/year for the period 2007-2014). This is due to the combined effect of an increase in load factors (i.e. tkm/veh) and a reduction of the specific consumption per vehicle (toe/vehicle).
Change in the unit consumption of road freight transport (EU)
- Deterioration of energy efficiency in 10 EU countries since 2014 despite the rebound in freight traffic.
