“…Prior levels of AFV knowledge and hence awareness are found to be associated with sociodemographic (e.g., gender, age) and personal characteristics (e.g., education) [66,86], environmental knowledge [35,66,86,94], pro-environmental attitudes [35,86], cultural dispositions [2], product involvement [66,94], direct experience (e.g., in terms of practical experiences and demonstrations) and familiarity with AFVs [74,94].…”

“…The need for information is a recurrent finding throughout most of the reviewed studies [2,35,66,74,85,91]. Audiences are found to behave differently and require information to be differentiated according to the interests and knowledge levels, socio-demographic characteristics, attitudes and cultural dispositions of the specific target audience [2,74,91,94].…”

“…-Individuals under 30 years of age were more likely to purchase non-exempt, lighter vehicles regardless of purchase price; -Females were more likely to purchase non-exempt, light, cheap vehicles, relative to all other alternatives; -Wealthier individuals were more likely purchase more expensive vehicles, regardless of exemption eligibility or vehicle weight/size; -Individuals living closest to the city were more likely to have smaller vehicles and also to have exempt EEVs -possibly reflecting higher environmental preferences amongst these residents (Bhat et al, 2009;Kahn, 2007), increased parking demands, and higher likelihood of crossing the cordon; -Owners of exempt EEVs had fewer vehicles (see Flamm (2009)) and owners of nonexempt vehicles had more vehicles -revealing perhaps that the economic benefits of the tax exemption outweighed the practical limitations of a smaller vehicle; and finally, -Owners with more children tended to have larger vehicles, however, there was little difference in preference among larger cars due to tax exemption or purchase price.…”

“…Some studies have found that car ownership, in particular owning more than one vehicle, was a significant characteristic of EEV adopting individuals (Campbell et Kahn, 2007), and in turn, individuals with higher environmental preferences tend to live more environmentally-friendly lifestyles, including purchasing smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles (Kahn, 2007) and fewer vehicles (Flamm, 2009). …”

As governments seek to transition to more efficient vehicle fleets, one strategy has been to incentivize 'green' vehicle choice by exempting some of these vehicles from road user charges. As an example, to stimulate sales of Energy-Efficient Vehicles (EEVs) in Sweden, some of these automobiles were exempted from Stockholm's congestion tax. In this paper the effect this policy had on the demand for new, privately-owned, exempt EEVs is assessed by first estimating a model of vehicle choice and then by applying this model to simulate vehicle alternative market shares under different policy scenarios. The database used to calibrate the model includes owner-specific demographics merged with vehicle registry data for all new private vehicles registered in Stockholm County during 2008. Characteristics of individuals with a higher propensity to purchase an exempt EEV were identified. The most significant factors included intra-cordon residency (positive), distance from home to the CBD (negative), and commuting across the cordon (positive). By calculating vehicle shares from the vehicle choice model and then comparing these estimates to a simulated scenario where the congestion tax exemption was inactive, the exemption was estimated to have substantially increased the share of newly purchased, private, exempt EEVs in Stockholm by 1.8% (+/-0.3%; 95% C.I.) to a total share of 18.8%. This amounts to an estimated 10.7% increase in private, exempt EEV purchases during 2008 i.e. 519 privately owned, exempt EEVs.

Nowadays commuting is a crucial point in modern activities. To supporting that commuting activities, a technology introduced and also applied in daily activities such as a car, motorcycle. Unfortunately, one negative side of it is the increasing of air pollution resulted from that commuting equipment. Further negative impacts, the weather cannot be predicted accurately again as a result of pollution piles that form the greenhouse phenomenon. The aim of this research is to investigate the influence of environment knowledge as a moderating variable to re-use public transportation.To achieve that objective, this study used a questionnaire distributed to the passengers of Batik Solo Trans (BST) Bus, which is a state transport corporation that operates in Solo City. A total of 207 participants were selected by purposive sampling method by filled out a set of the questionnaire designed to collecting data. After being analyzed by SEM (GeSCA), the result shows that the travel time efficiency effects on satisfaction and also affects the service value. Furthermore, the satisfaction influences the intention to re-use and the environment knowledge variable moderates the relationship between satisfaction and intention to re-use.At the end of this article, the implications of the study are discussed as well limitations.
