People’s perceptions regarding new technologies applied to light vehicles
To ensure a representative sample of the Spanish population, a total of 1,503 people ranging from 18 to 65 years of age were selected, all of whom actively participated in the project. The interview was the chosen methodology used to collect the data, conducted by means of an online questionnaire.
Conclusions of the report
For greater clarity and understanding, the results of the study were organized around three main themes: awareness of the emissions problem; awareness of solutions or new technologies; and the consequences this all has on purchase decisions. Below, we delve deeper into some of the most eye-opening conclusions that could prove to be of great significance for the future of sustainable mobility in the short term.
1. About emissions-related problems.
The data collected in the study indicates that people’s level of awareness regarding greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere by the transport sector and their consequences on climate change is quite high.
- 8 out of 10 people claim to be very or quite aware of CO2 emissions in transport.
- Young people do not appear to be more aware of this than the rest of the population.
These, however, are positive figures that seem to contradict the lack of awareness that those interviewed appear to have regarding the emissions problem.
