Traditionally, in a region with major oil resources, transport has been powered 100% by fossil fuels. Rising prices, together with other incentives, lead to a projected share of 27% of renewable electricity in this sector. Highly efficient electrified cars – plug-in-hybrid and battery vehicles – contribute to a total energy saving of 16%, although the car fleet is still projected to grow by a factor of 5 by 2050. The further promotion of energy efficient transport modes will help to reduce annual vehicle kilometres travelled by 0.25% p.a.
