  1. Road Transport and Oil in the IRU

  2. Road Transport and Oil in the IRU • Road transport is 100% dependent on oil • IRU has constitutional obligation as per Art. 2 to act in the interest of society as whole • Road transport is a vital production tool Our duty is to ensure that our children’s children can benefit from black gold through a sustainable energy policy.

  3. The combined efforts of 29 companies in 18 countries What does it take to have a cup of coffee in a café? Road transport is a vital production tool in a global economy There is transport between each. Most of it is by road.Road Transport = Production Tool! Source: IRU

  4. Road transport is 100% dependent on oil Since the first oil crisis in 1973, the IRU has been preoccupied - for our children’s children - with developing a sustainable energy policy, because road transport is 100% dependent on oil. Opposite: cover of IRU Study, 1980

  5. Road transport is 100% dependent on oil -Energy Characteristics of Various Fuels

  6. Road transport is 100% dependent on oil -Need to diversify the energy market

  7. Road transport is 100% dependent on oil -A Swiss example on how NOTto do it • 5 mio tonnes of oil are used for heating (stationary use).* • 1.5 mio tonnes of oil are used for diesel fuel (mobile use).* • Only 8% of diesel fuel is used for trucking! Because we are 100% dependent on oil We pay the most! *Source : Union Pétrolier Suisse 2005

  8. Road transport is 100% dependent on oil -Long term solutions are needed! Oil is black gold, so… Stabilise the market. Diversify energy sources where alternatives exist, such as heating, electricity, steel, cement, paper production (50% CO2); and reserve oil for truck transportation, for which no alternative energy sources exist. To obtain this goal… Governments should introduce taxes where viable alternatives exist and reduce taxes where there are no viable alternatives.
