The continuing relevance of short term measures to conserve energy in the New Zealand transport system is reviewed. It takes as its base an analysis completed in 1977 which covered twenty-four conservation measures aimed at technical and utilization efficiency, travel substitution, and travel suppression. The report focuses on road transport which is the dominant energy user. CNG conversion incentives are covered. Interaction of conservation measures and the situation overall is also discussed. Conservation measures described are grouped into the following: media promotion campaign; financial incentives; extension services; technical devices and measures; alternative vehicles and modes; fuel pricing; fuel rationing; urban form, employment, residential location, and public transport; and logistic support.
