The European transport equipment sector's consumption of solid fossil fuels in 2023 was led by Germany, showing significant growth, while the United Kingdom and France observed a slight decrease. Countries such as Poland experienced notable increases, while others like Sweden and the Czech Republic saw declines. Particularly, Bulgaria had a marked reduction of nearly one-quarter. The 2023 year-on-year variations highlight Germany's growth and declining tendencies in several Eastern European countries. The last five-year CAGR indicates a broader retreat from these fossil fuels, aligning with energy transition goals.
Future trends to watch include the acceleration towards decarbonization, impacting solid fossil fuel consumption in transport equipment. Legislative pressures and technological advances in renewable alternatives like hydrogen and electric vehicles will further drive the decline in solid fossil fuel use, prompting industry shifts across European nations.
