Abstract
Energy consumption in the transportation sector in Iran is significantly higher than global norms and standards which caused some issues including wasting national resources, deteriorating air quality, GHG emissions etc. In Iran, liquid fuels including gasoline and gasoil are dominant sources of energy in the transportation sector. In this context, the road transport has the major share in consuming liquid fuel amongst others i.e. the rail, marine and air transportations. Energy consumption in road transport in Iran has to be decreased in order to reduce dependency on fossil fuels as well as negative environmental consequences. One solution is to adopt demand-side strategies. The overall aim of this study is to estimate the total fuel consumption for road transport in Iran in 2025 under a new scenario in which demand-side approach has been adopted. The aim of this study is to illustrate and discuss to what extent implementing some middle-term demand-side strategies could decrease fuel consumption in the road transport system in Iran by 2025.
