Vehicle use
Telenor owned a fleet of 4 818 motor vehicles at the end of 2000. The passenger cars are relatively new, whilst the delivery vans and heavy vehicles are on average somewhat older. According to Telenor's policy, older vehicles are to be phased out. In addition to Telenor's own vehicle fleet, employees' private vehicles are also used for business travel.
The energy consumption in connection with goods transport by external transport companies is not included in these figures.

Business travel by air and rail
The system for reporting business travel by air and rail in Telenor is at present not able to provide complete figures for the distance travelled for individual journeys. The figures are therefore based on estimated average distances per journey. The data for 1998 and 1999 have been adjusted somewhat relative to those in the report for 2000, in order to give as correct a picture of the situation as possible.
The table presents a summary of the number of air and rail journeys, and the number of passenger kilometres travelled.
