- [Wind of Change](https://www.transportationenergy.org/resources/the-commute/wind-of-change/) - John Eichberger | November 26, 2018 Without a doubt, there is significant momentum behind the electrification of transportation. Just open any newspaper (or more accurately click on any news website) and the headlines scream at you that electricity is coming, kind of like the Red Coats were in 1775. But the U.S. market for electrified vehicles

The argument presented to me was that autonomous technology would advance at such a rapid pace that she will never need to learn

For some of us, that is getting more difficult but one of the hallmarks for many kids was the family road trip. Summer was coming and we just knew Mom and Dad had a great idea – let’s go drive to [some forsaken place] and see [who

We seek to understand their motivations and what might be important to them as they emerge into the primary target consumer segment. But what do we really know? I

Now, imagine fuel being injected into an engine piston chamber at 40,000 pounds per square inch! That is the reality of modern diesel engines – cranking out more miles per gallon by

National and regional governments continue to announce plans to phase out the internal combustion engine (ICE) and push for battery

Each of these musical acts recorded songs containing the lyrics, "the more things change the more they stay the same." This is very much what has been witnessed in the auto industry

This time, let’s climb higher and look around – what is truly influencing the up and down of the teeter-totter that consumers are riding. For this discussion, I want

Who is having more fun – the kid going up or the one going down? Or perhaps more importantly, which kid has greater influence over up vs down? I suggest you could ask the same thing about the oil market –

For example: Are EVs (electric vehicles) a viable technology? I will admit that I've been a skeptic due to the logistical challenges facing

- [Smaller Engines, Higher Mpg](https://www.transportationenergy.org/resources/the-commute/smaller-engines-higher-mpg/) - John Eichberger | January 1, 2016 Improving fuel efficiency is certainly a hot topic going into 2016. For one, it's a government requirement and two, consumers are demanding it. Will the answer be the introduction of sexy new alternative vehicles that promise 100 mpg? Possibly, but data suggests that traditional engines and fuels aren't going anywhere

Recent events serve only to amplify the role oil will have on transportation for the foreseeable future – consider Venezuela, Iran, OPEC and Russia. The availability and price of

So many have a vision of the future that is dominated by electrified powertrains and autonomous vehicles operating in a service-for-hire market, but

In mid-January, the U.S. Energy Information Administration

With nearly 1.5 billion vehicles in the world, and with more than 90 million

The movie is a favorite of mine and is relevant to a report I recently stumbled across, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Transportation Statistics Report

I wonder if we should consider adapting this type of campaign when seeking to transition to a new fuel/vehicle

To that end, one of the hurdles new transportation technologies must

In the pursuit of decarbonizing transportation, there has been tremendous progress in the light duty sector, especially with regards to electrification. This success, however, has led some to suggest the solutions

There is no other product for which consumers can shop the lowest

While there are serious headwinds that must be addressed, diesel is likely to continue to reign supreme as the

Battery electric (BEV) and plug in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) combined for more than 330,000 vehicles sold, which represents a growth of 79% over 2017. And 2018 saw more announcements from automobile manufacturers about their commitment to electrified powertrains. Clearly,

Some experts in the market have told me I am fooling myself, that the recent emissions scandals have scared off consumers and automakers, deflating the potential growth of this market.

Yet, one must not confuse the lack of a tailpipe with a vehicle that has no carbon emissions. Likewise, one must not forget that the internal combustion

Government initiatives, published forecasts and market prognosticators have enthusiastically been declaring the dawn of the electric age. But to steal a quote that Tom Kloza with OPIS recently paraphrased from Mark Twain

Of course, like all potentially invasive government programs in science fiction stories, the core objectives are clearly benevolent

ICE (internal combustion engines) are here and they’re on a mission. Like Vanilla Ice came under pressure from David Bowie and Freddie Mercury for “sampling” their technology, today’s ICE vehicles are likewise under pressure from fuel economy standards and the unrelenting drum beat of electrification

Like Charlton Heston, “They will pry my keys out of my cold, dead hands.” The Red Rocker feels the same. Sammy Hagar, who turns 71 in October, is still rocking like no other and having a blast. He also still loves fast cars and has

Yet, that is exactly what the Transportation Energy Institute is supposed to do – look at data objectively
- [Good Intentions](https://www.transportationenergy.org/resources/the-commute/good-intentions/) - John Eichberger | February 25, 2019 Why is it that good intentions become distorted as we get mired in the details? Why must we become so fixated on our current path that we forget to keep in mind the ultimate objectives? Why do we lock ourselves within our own echo chambers and emerge only to attack

While the effect of emissions is not restricted by political boundaries, the regulations that affect them

With such coverage comes a lot of political debate, from those blaming politicians for the increase in prices (fyi, the President does not control prices) to

These are the things we most often discuss when we try to unravel why people buy one vehicle over another – they are measurable, comparable, rational. But – are car buyers always rational? I argue probably not. They can be swayed by many factors – coolness; comparability
