Technology and social factors in passenger transport: a comparative assessment of different leverages
Résumé
This prospective research evaluates and compares the sensitivity of CO2 emissions and energy consumption of the French passenger vehicles fleet up to 2035, to different technological and sociological parameters, such as electric and hybrid technology penetration rates, the shares of the different power class in the fleet, the annual average mileage, and households’ motorisation levels. The results highlight the importance of sociological factors and advocate for integrated approaches to engage in ambitious pathways toward low energy and carbon ieties.
