The transport and energy sectors form key aspects of economic growth and sustainable development in modern industrial societies. This publication examines trends and developments in the energy and transport sectors in Europe, based on data drawn mainly from the years 2003 and 2004, as well as a range of topics including policy issues, market opening and competition, infrastructure developments, costs and efficiency. It also considers developments in the new member states, the candidate countries of Bulgaria and Romania, Croatia and Turkey, and principal trading partners. The publication includes a CD-ROM with global energy balances and indicators for the EU's 25 member states and its main trading partners.

First released in 2007, the bestselling Transport Revolutions argued that land transport in the first half of the 21st century will feature at least two revolutions. One will involve the use of electric drives rather than internal combustion engines. Another will involve powering many of these drives directly from the electric grid - as trains and trolley buses are powered today - rather than from on-board fuel. Now available for the first time in paperback and updated with the most recent data, it sets out the challenges to our growing dependence on transport fuelled by low-priced oil. These challenges include an early peak in world oil production and profound climate change resulting in part from oil use. It proposes responses to ensure effective, secure movement of people and goods in ways that make the best use of renewable sources of energy while minimizing environmental impacts. Synthesizing engineering, economics, environment, organization, policy and technology in a detailed yet highly readable style, Transport Revolutions is essential reading for anyone working, studying or interested in transport and the environment.
