  2. 1. Car distribution organization : strategic issues in four configurations

    Author : Anders Parment; Björn Axelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : car industry; distribution; competition; brands; coordination; strategic issues; distribution chains; lean distribution; retail geography; market knowledge; bilmarknaden; distribution; personbilar; marknadsföring; köpbeteende; varumärke; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This study is concerned with car distribution organization, a context characterized by overcapacity, intense competition, and manufacturers heavily focusing on brands. In the study, different distribution solutions are investigated through applying a framework of four strategic issues. READ MORE

  4. 2. Explaining Trends in Car Use

    Author : Anne Bastian; Maria Börjesson; Jonas Eliasson; Oded Cats; Patricia Mokhtarian; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; car use; peak car; VMT; VKT; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : Many western countries have seen a plateau and subsequent decline in car travel during the early 21st century. What has generated particular interest and debate is the claim that the development cannot only be explained by changes in traditional explanatory factors such as GDP, fuel prices and land-use.

  5. 3. Income and Fuel Price Elasticities of Car Use

    Author : Carl Berry; Maria Börjesson; Elisabeth Lång; Rob Hart; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Income elasticity; Fuel price elasticity; Car use; Car ownership; Registry data; Discrete-continuous model;

    Abstract : Understanding how car travel and ownership respond to income and fuel prices, and how that response varies between households is crucial for car use policies and forecasts. This thesis, consisting of two papers, aims to investigate this by estimating the intemporal income and fuel price elasticities of car use using micro registry panel data on all Swedish households from 1998 to 2018.

  6. 4. Passenger Car Wheel Aerodynamics

    Author : Christoffer Landström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; tyres; wind tunnel; Passenger car aerodynamics; ground simulation; wheel rotation; drag; wheels;

    Abstract : Current and future requirements for efficiency force the automotive industry to consider all aspects of reducing the energy consumption of road going vehicles. An important aspect of reducing fuel consumption is reduced aerodynamic drag, which at highway cruising speeds is dominating the total drag force for both cars and heavy goods vehicles. READ MORE

  7. 5. Car-To-Car Side Impacts: Development and Validation of Mathematical Models and their Usability for Protective System Design

    Author : Bengt Pipkorn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dummy; injury criteria; padding; mathematical simulations; barrier; side impact; car; occupant; airbag;

    Abstract : The objective of the present work was to develop and use mathematical models to establish principles for protective systems for occupants in car-to-car side impacts. The efforts in this work have concentrated on the protection of the thorax and abdomen since these body parts are most frequently injured in side impacts. READ MORE
