dc.description.abstractTransport is a large consumer of energy in South Africa and vital for economic development. Currently the transport sector consumes 28% of final energy, the bulk of which, 97%, is in the form of liquid fuels. As the population grows and becomes wealthier, so the demand for passenger transport and private vehicles increases; similarly, rising GDP drives the demand for freight transport. Supply interruptions are costly to the economy and careful longā€term planning is required to ensure that there is sufficient infrastructure to support the efficient functioning and growth of the transport sector in the future.en_ZA
