摘要: |
The members of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) are developing new technologies aimed at improving fuel economy of passenger cars to 80 MPH by 2004. The objective of this study is to recommend a methodology to identify the conditions under which the market will accept PNGV fuels and technologies in die United States. The method proposed includes focus groups to identify the major concerns of owners of cars and light trucks; interviews with purchase managers of fleets; drawing of random samples of new-vehicle purchasers (separately for individuals and fleets); development of survey instruments; and conducting telephone surveys of the samples to ascertain the probabilities of purchase of vehicles using the different PNGV fuels and technologies. Included in the surveys will be alternative prices of vehicles and consequences (e.g., changes in mpg) of the new fuels and technologies |
