Source: Pérez-Martínez (2006) Note: In Spain, gasoline is only important to fueling a share of light duty vehicles. Heavy duty vehicles use mostly diesel. Weak inverse relation fuel price and energy Low diesel price relative gasoline Weight regulations/Tolls/Wages/ affect operating costs more than fuel (is only one factor)

CENTRO DE INVESTIGACIÓN DEL TRANSPORTE - ETSI CAMINOS, CANALES Y PUERTOS UNIVERSIDAD POLITÉCNICA DE MADRID GDP related increasing activity despite decrease energy intensity Fuel price slightly affected changes road freight activity and energy consumption – weak inverse relation fuel price and intensity Carbon emissions restrained: reducing activity, changing modal share, improving utilization and technology (propulsion, fuel mix); activity accounts 10% total costs and 15% total energy Trend towards road on expenses of rail due to inherent differences: geography, distance and transport policies; fuel changes could influence share towards lower energy costs and higher efficiencies Energy efficiency influenced by: technology, optimization strategies and policy measures; increment intermodal combinations could increase load factors and decrease energy intensities Reduce carbon emissions through switching to fuels with lower carbon emissions per unit of energy; use of alternative fuels constrained by high prices DISCUSSION

CENTRO DE INVESTIGACIÓN DEL TRANSPORTE - ETSI CAMINOS, CANALES Y PUERTOS UNIVERSIDAD POLITÉCNICA DE MADRID Freight transport energy use and corresponding CO 2 emissions increased faster than other sectors in Spain (56%, 41% above Kyoto Protocol) Analysis of growth trends: increased activity, maintenance modal shares, little changes fuel efficiency, continual changes energy use and CO 2 emissions Scenarios asset: CO 2 emissions reduced by 6,5% by 2012 (REB) if road diesel vehicles experiment 30% increase in efficiency; road fuel 158 PJ and cost savings 3099 M€ Freight growth coupled with economical growth; share of manufactured products increased together with distances travelled and environmental problems CONCLUSIONS
