Development of the transport sector is characterised by the diversification of energy sources towards bio fuels (9%) and electricity (28%) up to 2050. The time taken to reach reference target levels for efficient vehicles is delayed by ten years compared to the most other industrialised countries. Although the light duty vehicle stock will triple by 2050, increasingly attractive and highly efficient suburban and long distance rail services, as well as growing fuel prices, will lead to the vehicle kilometres travelled falling by 10% between 2010 and 2050. These measures and incentives, together with highly efficient cars, will result in nearly 30% energy savings in the transport sector.
