Abstract

We develop an empirically grounded agent-based model to explore the purchasing decisions of mutually interacting agents (consumers) between three types of alternative fuel vehicles. We calibrate the model with recently published empirical data on consumer preferences towards such vehicles. Furthermore, running the Monte Carlo simulations, we show possible scenarios for the development of the alternative fuel vehicle market depending on the marketing strategies employed.
