Abstract: China and India’s movement of freight have in recent decades produced a significant increase in energy demand. Economic shifts and population growth in these two countries have played a major role in driving this development. The right data and a better knowledge of the trends that are shaping the freight movement are prerequisite steps to understanding the primary determinants of the rapidly rising oil consumption by these two most important emerging economies.
