Long-term impact of technological development on European road transportation sector's fuel mix: Focus on electric vehicles

Abstract

The article describes the results of research of the prospects for changes in the European road transport sector's energy consumption and fuel mix up to 2040. The study showed that in the foreseeable future until the year 2040 energy demand in European road transportation will decrease and sector's fuel mix will undergo substantial changes, primarily due to significant increase in the use of electricity.
