Moving goods by road consumes about 50% of all diesel produced; 80% of the global net increase in diesel use since 2000 comes from road freight. Furthermore, road freight activity is set to more than double from 2015 to 2050. Ambitious fuel economy and CO 2 emission standards will help widespread deployment of these measures.
