Global passenger transport activity 2000-2050
• Meeting the needs of 9 billion people
• Outlook fraught with uncertainty over such a long period
• Global passenger-km increase 3-4 times by 2050
• Outside OECD pkm could increse 5 or 6 fold
• Range is not measure of uncertainty but illustrates potential impact of modest changes in assumptions
• Low scenario – IEA base case in WEO 2008, Emerging economies reach Japanese levels of car ownership and use levels
• High scenario: European saturation levels
• Share of car trips seems set to rise from <10% in China to >50%
3
Aviation
• Medium term in line with IEA and IATA
• Longer term:
• Low scenario lower than IATA especially in OECD countries
• High OECD continues to grow non-OECD accelerates with deregulation and open skies
• High is still much lower than aircraft makers forecasts

Global freight transport activity, 2000 - 2050 Index of tkm (2000 = 100)
5
Low: Dematerialisation of growth
High: Constant freight intensity
Source: International Transport Forum calculations using IEA MoMo version 2011.
Freight Transport Activity 2000-2050
• Global freight tonne-km to rise 2.5 – 3.5 times by 2050
• Low scenario: Dematerialisation of growth, eg shift to services
• High scenario: GDP growth continues at 2005 freight intensity levels
• Developing countries may be embarking on a relatively freight intensive growth path, so full upside risk not reflected in graph
6
High Scenarios
• Best interpreted as where demand would like to go
• Realistic? Policy intervention?
• Eg fast urbanisation might slow growth of car ownership and use
• High energy prices would suppress
• But high scenarios far from impossible

Impact of Economic Crisis
• Total trade by sea and air in US
• 2 years to recover, but now flatlining or falling again
• End of stimulus, cooling of Chinese growth, in Europe bite of austerity
• Outlook incorporated 5 year shift
• Next will look at longer stagnation

High: European car saturation levels in BRICs air liberalisation
Low: Japanese saturation levels in BRICs and dematerialisation
Global CO2 emissions from transport
• CO2 emissions rise less quickly than mobility through fuel economy improvement
• Increase 2.5 to 3 times

If including other fuel types, the target will be lower.

Car Fuel Economy/CO2 Targets
March 2011
Global CO2 emissions from transport
• Maximisation of cost effective fuel economy improvement around the world, eg through continues progress with emissions standards would stabilise emissions
• GFEI target
• 8 l/100km ave new fleet economy in 2008 rise to 4 l/100km in 2030; whole fleet 2005
• Impressive but not enough to for IPCC 450ppm CO2 limit

Peak Travel?Passenger-kilometres by private car and light trucks, 1970 – 2009 index (1990 = 100)

Source: ITF 2011 Transport Outlook from Household Survey Data
Peak travel?
• Evidence of reduced responsiveness of car and light truck travel to increasing incomes in advanced economies
• As the effect of income on travel (vkm) diminishes, it leaves a larger role to other determinants such as fuel prices, urbanisation, ageing and network management
• But economic cycle visible in US in particular
• And income distribution may have a large role. Income growth in last decade concentrated on wealthiest 10%. Incomes decreased in many of the lower deciles.
18
Peak travel?
• High income households are less responsive due to saturation, low income households very responsive
• Whether or not growing income translates into more driving (VMT) thus also depends on the distribution of income growth
• Uncertainty over future income likely to play a role in medium term
• Demographics becoming increasingly important
• These factors have strong implications for the projection of long run transport demand
