The results show that certain macro trends in country differences can be seen at the micro-level of the #consumer - and indicate that consumers may perceive innovations in private #Mobility as environmental solutions, but their adoption could replicate car-dependent patterns.

We apply a framework of consumer engagement with #automobility and find that Canadians have significantly higher levels of Car Dependence and Car Identity, relative to Germans - but are also more concerned about the #environmental impacts of car use.

Canada has higher levels of car ownership, car #commuters, and urban sprawl, and lower levels of #ElectricVehicle and carshare adoption, relative to Germany. We investigate if these macro trends are replicated at the micro level of the consumer - a 🧵

New modeling research from @JonnAxsen and Chandan Bhardwaj compares policy pathways to reach 100% ZEV sales by 2035 - of the policies evaluated, a ZEV mandate is the most effective way to achieve the goal, with least uncertainty. Read the full paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.…

START's @Zoe_E_Long explains a few of the challenges we face in achieving net zero emissions in transport. Above all we need policy to legislate GHG reductions and provide a long term transformational signal.

New research finds that consumers' concern about car impacts on society is associated with their interest in #shared, #automated and #electric mobility technologies. Congrats @gauer_h on a stellar first PhD study! Read the open access article: doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.…

Climate regulations work and can be efficient too! New START from research shows the role of a ZEV mandate and vehicle emissions standard in a cost-effective policy mix. @JonnAxsen

We surveyed and talked to SUV drivers - they love their SUVs and aren't interested in downsizing. We find that their attraction to SUVs is about safety, space, and social status. Thanks @DavidSuzukiFDN for featuring our research! rabble.ca/environment/su…

🚨The case for a ZEV standard (like BC/Quebec/Cali): Canada's current passenger vehicle policies won't get us to 50% by 2030 or 100% by 2035, and they won't get us where we need to go on GHG emissions shows modeling for @cleanenergycan by @SFU_START cleanenergycanada.org/national-zero-…
