TRANSPORTATION TRANSITIONS: WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE ONGOING FUELS TRANSITION?

This paper draws attention to the ongoing and dramatic transition in transportation technologies for both vehicles and fuels by examining the ongoing transitions in conventional vehicles and fuels. Additionally, the paper tries to answer the following three posited questions: How will the ongoing fuels transition influence, limit, or accelerate other transportation transitions? What does the ongoing transition tell us about the opportunity to achieve successful, or even useful, niche markets in the U.S.? What does an examination of the factors behind this ongoing transition reveal about effective policy mechanisms needed to bring about a significant change?
