Carbon emissions by transport type

 





Road vehicles, particularly light-duty trucks, are the largest source of transportation-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, accounting for 37% of total emissionsFollowing road vehicles, medium and heavy-duty trucks (23%), passenger cars (20%), and commercial aircraft (7%) are also significant contributors. 





Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Road Vehicles:
    In the U.S., light-duty trucks (SUVs, pickup trucks, minivans) are the largest source, followed by medium and heavy-duty trucks and passenger cars. 
  • Aviation:
    Commercial aircraft are a significant contributor, with other aircraft making up a smaller percentage. 
  • Other Transportation:
    Pipelines (4%), ships and boats (3%), and rail (2%) also contribute to overall transportation emissions. 
  • Global Perspective:
    Road transport accounts for a majority of transportation-related emissions worldwide, with shipping being a significant contributor. 






  • Trends:
    While total transportation emissions have increased due to factors like population growth and economic development, improvements in fuel economy have helped to slow the rate of increase.
