What proportion of transport energy consumption is accounted for by road transport, as opposed to rail, air and sea, according to the International Energy Authority?
Over ninety per cent of transport energy is consumed by road transport.
Each time you see a heavy lorry on the road, ask yourself why the goods were not transported by train. In many cases (long journeys, non-perishable goods, heavy or bulky items), it would be per-fectly feasible to move goods by train instead of by road, and at vastly reduced cost to the envi-ronment.
