TS EN 16247-4
Energy audits - Part 4: Transport
This European Standard shall be used in conjunction with and is supplementary to EN 16247-1, Energy audits — Part 1: General requirements. It provides additional requirements to EN 16247-1 and shall be applied simultaneously.
The procedures described here apply to the different modes of transport (road, rail, marine and aviation), as well as the different ranges (local to long distance) and what is transported (basically, goods and people).
This European Standard specifies the requirements, methodology and deliverables specific to energy audits in the transport sector, every situation in which a displacement is made, no matter who the operator is (a public or private company or whether the operator is exclusively dedicated to transport or not), is also addressed in this document.
This European Standard advises on both the optimization of energy within each mode of transport, as well as selecting the best mode of transport in each situation; the conclusions drawn by the energy audit can influence decisions on infrastructure and investment e.g. in teleconferencing or web meetings.
Energy audits of buildings and processes associated with transport can be conducted respectively with the EN 16247-2 Buildings and EN 16247-3 Processes e.g. pipelines, depots and escalators/travelators. This part of the standard does not include the infrastructure which supplies energy e.g. the electricity generation of energy for railways.

About This Item
TS EN 16247-4 is the transport-sector part of the energy-audit series and is used together with EN 16247-1. Transport energy use is not limited to one vehicle type: it spans road, rail, marine and aviation operations, across journeys ranging from local movements to long-distance transport and for both goods and passengers. This part adds sector-specific guidance so that an energy audit can reflect the realities of transport activity rather than treating it as a generic industrial process.
How the transport context shapes an energy audit
In general technical terms, energy auditing in transport examines how vehicles, schedules, loading patterns, routing, occupancy and operating practices influence energy consumption. Each mode has its own drivers: road transport is affected by driving profile and traffic, rail by service pattern and traction operation, marine transport by voyage conditions and vessel operation, and aviation by flight profile and payload-related factors. The value of a transport audit is not only in measuring consumption, but in connecting that consumption to the decisions that shape service delivery.
Relationship to EN 16247-1 and the boundaries of this part
This standard is supplementary to EN 16247-1, so it does not replace the general requirements for energy audits; it applies alongside them. It focuses on transport services themselves, while buildings and transport-related processes are handled through the separate building and process parts of the EN 16247 series. It also excludes the energy-supplying infrastructure itself, such as electricity generation for railways, from the scope of this part.
For organisations involved in logistics, passenger transport, fleet operations or intermodal services, the standard provides a way to frame energy performance at system level. That makes it useful not only for identifying efficiency opportunities within one mode, but also for comparing modes and informing operational or investment choices that affect how transport is delivered.
