The main objective of this article was to make a quantitative and qualitative attempt to examine the relationship and the correlations between the development of transport and fuel efficiency of resource use. The analysis has shown that road transport has now gained a special status in people’s daily lives. The increased mobility of European citizens has caused cars to currently have the greatest share of the energy needs of road transport. This happened in despite improvements in the energy efficiency of these cars and freight transport growth. The projected continued growth of freight transport will contribute to the further changes in the structure of energy consumption by road transport. Despite the high growth rate of energy efficiency and improvement in trucks, the share of demand for fuel by these vehicles will increase the total fuel demand for the road transport sector. At the same time the energy consumption of cars will reduce their share in the total fuel needs of transport. The improvements of energy efficiency of passenger cars and trucks will not offset the increase in demand for energy in road transport. The above regularities create a key challenge facing the transport system – how to meet the constantly growing demand for energy? An important issue in achieving the objectives of sustainable transport is not only the development of technology, but also human awareness shaping proper consumer preferences. The future of transport will depend on both the carriers and the customers.
