I. - 4. Transition of Energy Consumption in the Transportation Sector

Transition of the Energy Consumption Rate
in the Transportation Sector

The consumption rate in the transportation sector substantially increased for private vehicles and freight vehicles.

Vehicle transportation accounts for a large portion (over 80%) of the passenger and freight sectors in FY 2004, indicating that energy consumption for vehicles is greatly affecting the increase/decrease of energy consumption in the transportation sector.

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 FY2004 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 Affecting the Increase in Energy Consumption for Private Passenger Vehicles
The factors affecting the increase in energy consumption for private passenger vehicles, which accounts for a major portion of energy consumption in the passenger sector, include vehicle stock, driving distance and fuel economy factors. Passenger vehicle stock is increasing, but annual driving distance per vehicle per year is decreasing, resulting in the same level or slight decrease in total driving distance
