What percentage of the energy consumed in Spain is accounted for by urban and interurban transport?
Preventive and Efficient Driving – Observation and Fuel Saving
Explanation
Urban and interurban transport in Spain accounts for 30% of the energy consumed. This is due to several factors that influence fuel consumption:
- Driving within towns or cities increases fuel consumption due to constant stops and starts, as well as the need to combat air resistance that hinders the vehicle's progress.
- Additional elements on the vehicle, such as roof racks or deflectors, increase air resistance, which also raises fuel consumption. To reduce this consumption, it is recommended not to install roof racks and to keep luggage in the trunk.
- The use of air conditioning and carrying a lot of weight are other factors that contribute to the increase in energy consumption in transport.
These practices and conditions make transport consume a significant portion of the total energy in the country.
