An overall description is given of the energy supply, demand and utilization in road transport in South Africa. The alternative fuels include Sasol's synfuel from coal, methanol, ethanol, sunflower-seed oil, etc. Their role in blends and as possible total substitutes for use in spark-ignition and diesel engines is given. Engine and vehicle modifications and developments to enhance their energy efficiency are considered. The potential of electric vehicles and their hybrids is evaluated. Finally, it is suggested that energy use in transport management, traffic management and road construction be rationalized, to assist with the formulation of interrelated energy and transport policies.
