Changes in human behavior for a
future mobility: Are they necessary,
possible, and feasible?

1. The 130 g CO

/km target for average new passenger car
registrations in 2015
2. Autonomous Technical Potential for annual fuel
reductions in new cars
3. To which extent are changes in human behavior, notably
new car purchase behavior, necessary?
4. Are they possible? Which levers exist to change car
purchase behavior?

Mobility is fundamentally different from other sectors;
consumers still pay more for higher fuel consumption;
mobility is
time- and space-constrained,

2. Autonomous Technical Potential (ATP)

2. Autonomous Technical Potential (ATP)
New car registrations can reduce CO
2
emissions by
– 2.89%/a, if weight and power-to-mass ratio constant
If CO
2
emissions are to be decreased faster
reduce weight and/or power-to-mass ratio

3. Are changes in car purchase behavior
necessary?
Switzerland, 2010 to 2015:
annual changes of –3.72% in fuel consumption needed
this exceeds the ATP of –2.89%
–0.83% have to come from behavioral changes
7:2 split (technological:behavioral reduction)
3. Are changes in car purchase behavior
necessary?
EU:
130 g target can be reached solely through ATP
95 g for ca. 2023: annual reductions of –3.83% over the
full time span from 2015 to 2023.
–0.95% annually from behavioral changes
3:1 ratio (technological:behavioral changes)
(assuming that Switzerland meets the 130 g target in 2015, the latter also
applies to Switzerland)

4. Levers to change car purchase behavior
For effective measures to change behavior
psychological factors should be considered
Socio-psychological model from Peters et al:
- Explains car purchase by private consumers
- Survey data from 302 Swiss respondents whose
households have bought a new car since 2002
- Structural equation model (SEM)-based analyses
4. Levers to change car purchase behavior

= direct
