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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

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.

I practiced a similar question where road transport was around 26%. That seems low, though, so I might be mixing it up.

I feel like I saw a statistic that said road transport accounts for over 50%, but I can't recall the exact number.

I think I remember something about road transport being a significant portion, maybe around 70%? But I'm not entirely sure.
