For an excellent discussion on the variations of how sufficiency and efficiency have been scoped and used, see Baumgartner et al (2022) in this journal, where the authors also draw attention to the lack of a single definition.…”

“…Like the concept of resource conservation, 'sufficiency' refers to the reduction of society's consumption of products and services to minimize environmental impacts (Figge & Thorpe, 2023). Sufficiency strategies are not restricted to voluntary or altruistic reductions in consumption (Alcott, 2008;Baumgartner et al, 2022;Figge & Thorpe, 2023), but also include strategies which ultimately reduce the volume of products and services through changes in consumption patterns (Sandberg, 2021) and business practices (Niessen & Bocken, 2021). Product-service systems (PSS) have recently gained attention as potential means to achieve sufficiency (Vezzoli et al, 2021).…”

The discourse surrounding sustainable consumption and production has evolved to encompass sufficiency strategies in addition to efficiency and effectiveness. Product-service systems (PSSs) can promote sufficiency by replacing traditional product-intensive systems with dematerialized services and changes in ownership structures. Sufficiency-oriented PSS may, however, generate rebound effects which offset potential sufficiency benefits or even result in backfire. This paper examines the connection between sufficiency-oriented PSS and rebound reviewing 12 empirical studies addressing rebound.

“…Regarding the latest surveys, most people hold positive attitudes toward the automated CAVs of their green effects, and it has already aroused people's interest (Labanca and Bertoldi, 2018;Baumgartner et al, 2022). Therefore, a large number of studies have been conducted on the impact of CAV on driving safety, traffic efficiency, and the environment.…”

Introduction: The presence of connected and automated vehicles (CAV) in mixed traffic flows with different market penetration rates (MPRs) in urban road scenarios has a significant effect on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.Methods: Therefore, in this study, real-world road networks and traffic data are simulated using SUMO based on actual data from a survey. The fuel consumption and emission benefits of CAVs in mixed traffic flows are well-evaluated, and the energy-saving performance of CAVs under low-speed vehicle interference is tested. In addition, this study explores both the energy consumption and emissions of purely electric vehicles.Results: The results show that with 100% CAV penetration, fuel vehicles have a maximum reduction in fuel consumption of 18% and a maximum increase in average speed of 31.6%, while the energy consumption of electric vehicles increases due to communication, detection, and collaboration between CAVs.Discussion: However, the results clearly demonstrate that the carbon emissions of electric vehicles are significantly lower than fuel vehicles. In addition, the increase in low-speed vehicles will result in an increase in energy consumption and emissions. Therefore, increasing the percentage of electric vehicles on the roads and transitioning from manual to autonomous driving systems is crucial to curbing carbon emissions.
