THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT MODES OF PERSONAL TRANSPORT

HENKILOLIIKENTEEN ENERGIANKULUTUS ERI LIIKENNEMUODOILLA

The energy consumption in personal transport is studied in the modes of private cars, taxis, buses, trains and aeroplanes. The total fuel consumption of the private car population can be deduced from the ECE-15 test results by making temperature and load corrections and weighing the results of urban cycle, 90 km/h and 120 km/h with 30%, 60% and 10%. The fuel consumption of taxi traffic per person km is higher than that of private cars because of the lower load factor. For the comparison of different modes the fuel consumption values have been transformed into crude oil kg's by making corrections to the refinery process and fuel transport. Additionally corrections to direct in-use fuel consumption of vehicles are made for the auxiliary operations of vehicles. The value of fuel needed in the building and maintenance of transport routes and in the types of vehicle is not calculated.
