The need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas and air emissions from road 
transport is urgent. Optimism for an environmentally sustainable future for 
road transport relies to a large extent on the wide adoption of plug-in electric 
and other low emission vehicles. However, the early stages of the adoption 
process of these technologies are critical for their market prospects. 
This dissertation contributes to a better understanding of the main challenges 
arising at these stages of adoption and the evaluation of alternative policy 
responses to these challenges. The first objective of the dissertation is to 
identify the main barriers to consumer early adoption of plug-in electric 
and other low emission vehicles and estimate the impact of these barriers 
on consumer demand. Its second objective is to evaluate the effects of 
recent fiscal policies to stimulate demand for low emission vehicles in the 
Netherlands on consumer and manufacturer behaviour and economic welfare.
