Energy Union and innovation

Transport accounts for nearly a fourth of all greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Research and innovation are key to progress in this area. Member State performance is shown for example in the share of renewable energy in transport fuel consumption and private expenditure in research & development by transport companies.

Energy Union and innovation

  • Private expenditure in R&D in transport

    EU rank:
    X

    Investment by transport companies in research and development, as permillage of GDP. Transport companies include manufacturers of motor vehicles and of other transport equipment (NACE C29 and C30) and transportation and storage companies (NACE H). The EU value is calculated selecting only the countries whose R&D; data was available.

    Indicator calculated on the basis of data covered by Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 on energy statistics. Reporting countries provide additional information on renewable source not covered by the Regulation. The contribution of compliant biofuels is included as of year 2011 and only for countries that confirmed full compliance with Article 17 “Sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids” and Article 18 “Verification of compliance with the sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids” of Directive 2009/28/EC – only quantities of biofuels that are compliant (sustainable) are counted towards the indicator.

    Hours spent in road congestion by the average driver every year. This indicator assumes two 30km trips per day (morning peak and evening peak) and 220 working days. It takes into account all major roads in the Member States for which data is available (about 2 500 000 kilometres). Cyprus data includes Nicosia agglomeration.
