A technological stock model of private car energy demand is built, using as explanatory
variables, fleet structure, the profile of activity, and fleet efficiency. Disaggregating the
three variables by vehicle technology and age produces a detailed profile of private car
activity and energy consumption, giving accurate energy calculations and allowing detection
of the technological drivers of energy consumption. Methods for calculating fleet onroad
energy efficiency in terms of an on-road factor are developed. The methodology is
applied in an Irish case study and results show a 37% increase in private car energy demand
between 2000 and 2008, and that driving this increase was a growth in diesel and larger
engine activity and the ageing of the fleet.
