The ORNL MA3T model developed for the U.S. Department of Energy is described and used to project PHEV purchase probabilities by different consumers.It is observed that consumers who have home charging, drive more frequently and live in urban area are more likely to buy a PHEV. Early adopters are projected to be more likely PHEV buyers in the early market, but the PHEV purchase probability by the late majority consumer can increase over time when PHEV gradually becomes a familiar product.

This paper investigates the factors that affect household automobile and motorcycle ownership in large metropolitan areas. Extensive geocoded trip data from Athens, Greece, were modeled with the random parameters bivariate ordered probit model. The study's results indicate that vehicle (automobile and motorcycle) ownership is determined by a number of factors, such as traveler characteristics, the population density at the origin and destination, the distance and time to the destination for several trip purposes, and access to public transit.

The report concludes that there is a clear global opportunity to improve the safety, mobility, and quality of life of older adults by designing vehicles and vehicle technologies that help overcome common age-related deficits. The marketing of these vehicles to older consumers, however, will be challenging and will likely require further market research. The development of vehicle design features, new automotive technologies, and crashworthiness systems in the future should be guided by both knowledge of the effects of frailty/fragility of the elderly on crash outcomes, as well as knowledge of common driving-related declines in psychomotor, visual, and cognitive abilities. Design strategies that allow for some degree of customization may be particularly beneficial.

A start-stop system in automobiles allows the engine to shut down automatically when left in an idling state and restarts automatically when the clutch is depressed to select a gear. The startstop systems are becoming increasingly popular because they are fuel-efficient and reduce the emission of harmful gases.The Global Automotive Start-stop Systems market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.6 percent during the forecast period. The majority of the market growth is expected to stem from the EMEA region. The production and usage of start-stop systems have globally gained momentum in recent times as they enhance engine performance.

An automotive turbocharger is a component that compresses air fed to a vehicle's engine. This helps the engine produce more power, offer improved fuel efficiency, and afford cleaner fuel combustion, thus improving overall performance. An automotive turbocharger mainly consists of three components: a turbine, a compressor, and center housing. Automotive turbochargers are further classified as standard, ball-bearing, twin-scroll, and variable-geometry/variable-nozzle turbochargers.

Automakers expanded their footprint particularly in South-east Asia as growth in their domestic markets slowed down. China, the world’s largest auto market, sold a total of 17.82 million vehicles in the first ten months of 2013, up 13.5% year-on-year.
The Indian auto sector witnessed a contraction of nearly 5% during the first half of 2013-14 as a result of slow economic growth, persistent inflation, increased excise duty and higher key lending rate.Japanese automakers’ financial results benefited from a weaker Yen as overseas sales boomed.However, home market continued to suffer.The share prices of eight Asia-Pacific automakers tracked by Mergent grew by 5.7% in the six months between April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2013.Toyota maintained its position as the world’s largest automaker with global sales of 7.412 million vehicles in the first nine months of 2013, with GM and Volkswagen hot on its wheels.

Autonomous parking is an automotive system integrated into a vehicle which assists a driver park his/her vehicle. It requires minimal interference from the driver when parking and utilizes a safe human-machine interface to improve parking. Autonomous parking systems are designed to avoid collisions in parking areas by focusing on major causes such as driver error, parking space size, and space restrictions. The systems use different methods, sensors, and other equipment to detect objects around the automobile. They also warn drivers when required, provide tactile feedback, and thereby improve the safety and comfort of the driver. The primary purpose in the deployment of autonomous parking systems in vehicles is to enhance vehicle efficiency during parking, and thereby provide a better user experience. The parking systems currently available operate using a certain amount of human intervention, and hence are semiautomatic fully automatic systems are expected to hit the market only by 2020.
