TS EN 16247-4

TS EN 16247-4 defines the transport-specific requirements that supplement TS EN 16247-1 for energy audits in the transport sector. It adapts the energy-audit approach to transport activities, where the purpose is to understand energy use, identify losses or inefficiencies, and support opportunities for improvement. Its scope also covers situations in which a displacement occurs, regardless of whether the operator is public or private, or whether transport is the operator’s sole activity.

What the transport focus means in practice

In transport, energy performance is shaped by more than fuel or electricity consumption alone. Fleet composition, route planning, load factor, service frequency, waiting time, and operational organisation all influence the overall energy profile. For that reason, an energy audit in this field needs to address both technical assets and operating practices. This standard sets out the transport-specific requirements, methodology, and deliverables that frame that assessment.

Relationship to EN 16247-1

This part is not a standalone general energy-audit standard; it is a complementary part intended to be used together with EN 16247-1. The general audit framework, terminology, and baseline approach sit in Part 1, while this part adds the requirements and application details specific to transport. That makes it suitable for audit work across transport modes and operational settings while keeping the common energy-audit structure intact.
