Road transport plays a fundamental role in the life of societies and is the lifeblood of economic activities. However, the size and density of this sector cause it to also be a significant source of energy consumption. The widespread use of fossil fuels in road transportation shows that this sector has great potential for energy efficiency.

    The sector also represents a critical area for achieving environmental sustainability goals. This chapter examines energy efficiency in the road transport sector and discusses an important area of research and application. Because energy efficiency in road transportation offers great advantages both environmentally and economically.

    In the study, the role of energy efficiency in road transportation, the status of energy consumption in the sector, and future expectations will be discussed. The main purpose of the study is to emphasize the potential and importance of energy efficiency in the road transportation sector and to reveal current developments in this field. Additionally, the focus will be on the environmental impacts and economic benefits of implementing energy efficiency strategies. The advantages of increasing energy efficiency in the road transport sector for various stakeholders, its effects on businesses and the general welfare of society, and the duties of policymakers will also be discussed in this section.

    The content of the section will begin with an explanation of the concept of energy efficiency and continue with the importance and potential of energy efficiency in road transportation, the status, and future expectations of energy consumption in the sector. Then, the environmental impacts and economic benefits of implementing energy efficiency strategies will be discussed and supported with various examples. In addition, the advantages of increasing energy efficiency in the road transport sector for various stakeholders, its effects on the welfare of businesses and society, the relationship between energy efficiency and sustainability goals, and the duties of policymakers will be emphasized.

    The study aims to highlight the importance of improving energy efficiency in the road transport sector and provide information on the latest developments in this field. It is evaluated that energy efficiency strategies and technologies, combined with environmental sustainability and economic gains, can shape the future of the road transportation industry. The study aims to provide valuable information for experts, academics, business managers, policymakers, and other relevant stakeholders in the field of energy efficiency. It is evaluated that this in-depth review of the energy efficiency of road transportation will contribute to the sustainable future of the sector.
