Transport trends - what NZ transport may look like by 2045

​Here are the Government's predictions for the transport sector, as outlined in the Thirty Year New Zealand Infrastructure Plan 2015.
​
  • Gradual improvements in the fuel efficiency of cars slowly erode the effectiveness and fairness of Fuel Excise Duty as a means of collecting revenue from transport users.

  • Advances in technology enable road users to be charged based on how far they travel, where they travel and when they travel.

  • Increased automation in the vehicle fleet lowers the road toll.

  • Transport's percentage share of greenhouse gas emissions per capita falls as more vehicles are powered by electricity and hydrogen. (Check out the cover story of NZ Business magazine, September 2015, for news on exciting developments for electric vehicles.)

  • Most of our international freight is moved through a few large ports. Larger ships dominate the movement of New Zealand's exports and imports.

  • A large proportion of the aircraft used for specialised activities in New Zealand are likely to be operated remotely.
