Transportation plays a certain role in country economic. Recently, energy shortage
and global warming were becoming serious problems. Since combustion of fossil fuels
for energy results in greenhouse gas increasing, the issue of energy saving in
transportation gradually gets attention.
Most of the research topics in Taiwan are focus on development of new technology
for cars or statistics of only few modes of transportation in a local region, but lack of the
statistical data of total energy using and saving of Taiwan transportation, and can’t
revealed the overall situation of Taiwan transportation clearly. Thus, this study collected
all the usable data of transportation included department of statistics and institute of
transportation, MOTC, Bureau of Energy, MOEA and journals about factors of energy
consumption, statistical analysis of passenger-kilometers and ton-kilometers, and energy
consumption of transportation.
The result of this study shows that reducing the energy consumption of ordinary light
vehicles, account for the highest proportion and most energy-consuming of all types of
passenger vehicles in Taiwan, is most efficient way to save energy. As business heavy
trucks is more than seventy percent of freight vehicles.
After searched and reviewed the latest articles. Two strategies have been proposed:
transferring activity structures and application of new types of car( HEV, BEV). At last,
we compared with different proportionate distribution and calculated the amount of
energy saved to find the available strategies.
