I-4. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Transportation Sector
Contributing Factors that Increase Energy Consumption
in the Transportation Sector
  • Private passenger vehicles contributed 90% of the total energy consumption increase during FY1991 to 2003 in the whole transportation sector.
  • Private passenger vehicles have poor energy consumption intensity compared to other transportation.

I-4. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Transportation Sector
Factors for the Increase in Energy Consumption
for Private Passenger Vehicles
  • Energy consumption for private passenger vehicles marked a drastic 63% increase over 12 years from FY1990.
  • The trend is mainly attributed to the increase in household ownership of passenger vehicles extending total driving distance and increased vehicle weights, compromising actual fuel economy.
