A review of trends and drivers of greenhouse gas emissions by sector from 1990 to 2018 (2021, background): “It is not clear whether the so-called ‘peak car’ in developed economies is simply the result of economic stagnation and rising fuel prices or whether it reflects deeper lifestyle and demographic change (Goodwin and van Dender 2013, Kuhnimhof et al 2013, Bastian et al 2016).”
Reply to Second comment on ‘The climate mitigation gap: education and government recommendations miss the most effective individual actions’ (2017, background): “For instance, the United States has seen as a measurable decrease (Kuhnimhof et al 2013) or at the very least, delay in car usage and ownership for the millennial generation compared to previous generations (Garikapati et al 2016).”
Car ownership motivations among undergraduate students in China, Indonesia, Japan, Lebanon, Netherlands, Taiwan, and USA (2014, background): “A number of recent studies report reduced car usage of younger people relative to older generations (Kuhnimhof et al. 2013; Van Der Waard et al. 2013).”
Future energy use and CO2 emissions of urban passenger transport in China: A travel behavior and urban form based approach (2018, background): “Although in recent decades there has been discussion on the saturation of car use in developed countries and some found a decoupled pattern with economy [46-48], it might still be reasonable to expect continuous PV ownership and usage growth in Chinese cities before reaching equivalent levels of urb”
Guidance for transport planning and policymaking in the face of an uncertain future (2016, background): “…we need to take into account: how many people will comprise the travelling population; the socio-demographic composition of this population; and where the population is located spatially (Kuhnimhof et al., 2013; Grimal et al., 2013; Dejoux et al., 2010; Delbosc and Currie, 2013; Headicar, 2013).”
The climate mitigation gap: education and government recommendations miss the most effective individual actions (2018, background): “For instance, the United States has seen as a measurable decrease (Kuhnimhof et al 2013) or at the very least, delay in car usage and ownership for the millennial generation compared to previous generations (Garikapati et al 2016).”
‘Peak Car’ — Themes and Issues (2013, background): “Kuhnimhof, Zumkeller, and Chlond (2013) extend the important earlier work on young adults’ lower propensity to acquire driving licenses ageing by carrying out a new empirical analysis to decompose the overall trend into a number of different sources.”
