Transportation and energy in Japan

Abstract

Road transportation has become dominant in OECD countries, including Japan, where automobiles and trucks consume about 23 of the energy demand in the transportation sector. Transportation has been very sensitive to changes in fuel prices after 1974. It has affected the number of cars, the lifetime of cars in use, the average number of km/yr driven, and fuel economy in complex ways. Fuel demand for private automobiles is expected to stabilize at 120–130% of the present level in the next 10 yr. But for trucks no standards of fuel economy have been set and improvements will be very slow in the next 5 yr and fuel demand will increase by about 60% in the next 10 yr. This will create increasing demand for diesel oil, which the present structure Japanese refineries cannot meet without additional investments.
