In 2023, the consumption was slightly lower than the 2024 forecast, aligning with gradual growth trends seen in previous years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential increases in electrification of rail lines reducing demand for diesel.
Technological advancements in fuel efficiency.
Regulatory changes promoting sustainable transport energy sources.
