The Impact of Energy Efficiency of the Transport Process on the Organization and Maintenance of Vehicles in the Small Company

Energy efficiency has become the main purpose of energy policy in the world. It has conditioned a policy towards energy-intensive sectors such as road transport. However, improving energy efficiency can lead to changes in the demand for energy services that would offset some of the energy savings obtained. As a result, the projected energy savings may be overestimated. The article analyzes the energy efficiency of road transport in a model service company in Poland. A common methodology was used to estimate the energy demand function using the algorithm described in EN 16247-4 Energy audits: Part 4 – Transport. The obtained results indicate that the achieved energy efficiency is largely maintained.
