In the UK, light goods vehicles with less than 3.5 tonnes of gross weight have grown in both vehicle numbers and activity levels, and much of this growth is obviously found in urban areas (Browne et al., 2010a). This trend is also identified in Sweden by SIKA (2009) and Trafa (2012). The last rows in the tables show the calculated change between the years. Note the increased use of alternatives to petrol such as ethanol, diesel and gas. A decrease in the use of electric vehicles up to 2008 is significant, even though the numbers are relatively small Tables 1 and 2.
