| Summary | In response to energy conservation and carbon reduction policies, it is necessary to research, develop and promote the use of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in the nation, after energy depletion due to road transportation and CO2 emissions have been effectively reduced. This study proposed incentive programs for the promotion of the use of AFVs along with supporting measures for the transportation sector by collecting, summarizing and analyzing the incentive strategies and the implementation of the promotion of the use of AFVs by foreign transportation sectors.
The study evaluated domestic conditions and environment for the development and promotion of AFVs; suggested AFVs suitable for domestic use as regards buses, cars and motorcycles; and introduced strategies for the promotion of AFVs by domestic transportation departments on five policy fronts: economic incentives, traffic management, transportation management, motor vehicles supervision, as well as infrastructure and ancillary facilities. This study specifically adopted the Theory of Planned Behavior to conduct surveys to explore short-, medium- and long-term preferences among the public for various AFV technologies, as well as analyzed acceptance rates for strategies regarding the promotion of AFVs. In order to establish the best course for the development of AFV technologies, the study employed the MARKAL model to analyze the carbon reduction effectiveness of AFV technologies and perform sensitivity analysis for all types of situational simulations. Also, reference was made to the electric vehicle, electric scooter and AFV promotion programs already being conducted by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The results of this study provide an important reference for the transportation sector to establish an environment for the use of AFVs. |
