The 6500 Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) has published a visually representative infographic detailing the findings of its Vision 2035 policy series.

First published in September 2011, the Vision 2035 series looks to the future and visualises how transport and logistics in Britain would develop, taking account of demographic changes, population growth, technological developments and social and political change.

CILT sees the series is an ongoing project and is a starting point for continuing work on likely future changes and the development of more detailed ideas on how best to meet the likely demands on logistics and the transport system.

The infographic displays key findings from the Institute’s initial report Vision 2035, UK Freight Planning to 2035, The Future of Aviation and the most recently published A Vision for Transport Planning.

Some of the key findings of the Institute’s Vision 2035 series detailed in the attached infographic include: a projected 33 per cent increase in road travel, 84 per cent in rail freight and 180% in sea freight; an increase of 30-40 per cent in energy demand by 2030; a steady trend of economic growth and rising population; an extra ten million UK residents by 2035; aviation growth identified as a key component to the economy; and the average number of trips per person is falling.

    Industry insight from Steer Davies Gleave notes that increases in oil production and lower projected global demand growth for crude oil have contributed to declines in fuel prices, beginning in June 2014 and falling 70 per cent to the lowest point in January 2016. However, the impact of changing fuel prices is not uniform across transportation modes.
