Transport facts: modal split and emissions
The case of cars
Theory: transport and mobility
Transport and inequality
Economy, energy and transport
The big picture
A Brief History
How did we get here?
Transport – A Brief History
Dominance of cars starting from ~1960s
Major increase in kilometres travelled
Increase in speed of travel
Creation of suburbs and urban sprawl
We live in a “car culture”, see Mattioli et al. 2020
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2020.101486
Till ~1970s: walking was the dominant mode of transport
Walking has since gone down significantly
Development of low-cost aviation from the 1990s (deregulation)

Transport Facts
Let’s start with a few interesting statistics
Questions to be answered:
What are the main modes of transport?
For passenger transport?
For freight?
Which modes consume the most energy and emit the most CO2?
What is the share of renewable energy in transport?
Modal Split of Passenger Transport
https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz/passenger-transport-volume-6
Modal Split of Freight Transport
https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz/freight-transport-volume-6#tab-chart_1
Energy Consumption in Transport

Energy Consumption in Transport
https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/daviz/transport-energy-consumption-eea-5#tab-googlechartid_googlechartid_chart_111
Oil Dependency of Transport
IEA: “In 2014, the transport sector consumed 65% of global oil final energy demand.
Moreover, with 92% of transport final energy demand consisting of oil products, the
transport sector is the least diversified energy end-use sector.”
https://www.iea.org/reports/energy-technology-perspectives-2017
IEA WEO 2018: “Global conventional crude oil production peaked in 2008”
M. King Hubbert, 1956: “Hubbert’s peak”
GHG Emissions from Transport

EV, HEV, PHEV, …
https://thedriven.io/2018/08/28/what-is-an-ev/
EVs ≠ Zero Emission Vehicles
Carbone 4 2020, http://www.carbone4.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Motorisations-alternatives-publication-Carbone-4.pdf
EVs ≠ Zero Emission Vehicles
ICCT 2018, https://theicct.org/publications/EV-battery-manufacturing-emissions
The Problem with PHEVs
https://www.transportenvironment.org/press/plug-hybrids-new-emissions-scandal-tests-show-higher-pollution-claimed
The Problem with PHEVs
Real world emissions 2–4 times type approval values
https://theicct.org/publications/phev-real-world-usage-sept2020
Electric driving employed much less often then previously thought, ~40% of the time
Situation especially bad for company cars
Drivers do not always charge often enough and electric range limited
Heavy cars (heavier than ICEV equivalent) => more emissions
PHEVs often not compatible with fast charging
A big share of PHEVs sold are SUVs!
https://ukerc.ac.uk/news/suvs-sabotage-green-revolution/
EVs and Renewables
Renewable energy sources:
Intermittent, might not correspond to demand peaks => require storage capacity
Electric vehicles:
Cars are a poorly used resource (parked > 90% of the time) => free time for other
than mobility uses
Everyday trips are fairly short << battery capacity => available battery capacity
Cars usually parked close to buildings => could be connected to the electric grid
RES require storage capacity that could be provided by EVs and EVs require low-
carbon electricity to be “green”

Is Our Car Use “Smart”?
A French example (ENTD 2008 and other data sources):
✓ Load factor of vehicles: 1.4 (for driver: 1.22)
✓ 73% of local trips by car are made with only the driver onboard
✓ A car weighs around 1500 kg – to transport a passenger of 80 kg
✓ A light-duty vehicle is used on average 5h37 per week or 3.4% of the time
✓ The kilometres travelled per car are decreasing – but the number of cars continues
to increase
https://www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/la-mobilite-des-francais-panorama-issu-de-lenquete-nationale-
transports-et-deplacements-2008
https://www.danielbowen.com/2012/09/19/road-space-photo/
Is Our Car Use “Smart”?
Key Points
Cars responsible for a major share of transport emissions
Our current car use is far from smart
Small load factor, time of use limited, waste of urban space, …
More sharing might improve the situation: ride sharing + car sharing
Electric vehicles remove tailpipe emissions but not manufacturing ones
Also need to think outside of the box: how to reorganise our transport systems?
More public transport, active travel, local services, …
End of car domination and change of paradigm?
