In the transport sector, it is assumed under the Energy Revolution scenario that energy demand will remain at today´s level of approximately 660 PJ/a by 2050, saving 570 PJ/a compared to the Reference scenario. This can be achieved by the introduction of highly efficient vehicles, by shifting the transport of goods from road to rail and by changes in mobility-related behaviour patterns. Implementing attractive alternatives to individual cars, the car stock is growing slower than in the reference scenario. A shift towards smaller cars triggered by economic incentives together with a significant shift in propulsion technology towards electrified power trains and a reduction of vehicle kilometres travelled by 0.25% per year leads to a 60% final energy savings.
