The development of transportation infrastructure is an important element in ensuring economic growth. The EIA report on Global Transportation Energy Consumption noted that while the OECD countries currently account for 55 per cent of the total energy consumed by the transportation sector globally, the non-OECD countries show higher incremental growth in demand from this sector. This is due to the changing economic situation in developing countries, where increased urbanization, diversification of employment, and increase in incomes is the driving factor in the growth of the transportation sector and consequently of the energy demand from the same. The energy demand from the transportation sector in developed countries corresponds to a high level of economic prosperity and a lack of investment in enhancing green transportation alternatives and reducing energy consumption from the sector. On the other hand, developing countries such as India have a dynamically changing economy with faster growing secondary and tertiary sectors, leading to essential growth in transportation infrastructure and services.
