This paper reports the initial findings of two research projects that identify attitudinal
barriers inhibiting the adoption of cleaner vehicles in the UK. The first, conducted
for the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership by Ecolane Transport Consultancy, reviews the
evidence of consumer attitudes to low carbon cars. The study shows that car buyers
have a poor knowledge of cleaner car technologies, the environmental impacts of road
transport and car ownership costs. The second study, initiated within the Open University's
Design Innovation Group, identifies key ‘hotspot’ factors that influence consumers'
adoption of low carbon products. The study, which is ongoing, has concluded that identifying
where and when these hotspot points of leverage occur could help inform initiatives
to facilitate consumer adoption and effective use. |
