The document is a summary of the 2014 Global Automotive Consumer Study conducted by Deloitte. It provides the following key points:
1) The study surveyed over 23,000 consumers across 19 countries, including over 2,000 US consumers, to understand factors influencing consumer mobility and transportation decisions as new models like car sharing emerge.
2) The study found that Gen Y consumers are more open to alternative transportation options and less loyal to vehicle ownership compared to other generations. Over half of Gen Y sees themselves driving an alternative powertrain vehicle within 5 years.
3) While Gen Y consumers are more receptive to new technologies and see benefits, safety technologies are preferred over connectivity features. Most consumers are not willing
Deloitte Motor Industry Services present our 3rd study on the changing nature of mobility.
The study identified six megatrends which are providing consumers with more choices than ever before in meeting their transportation needs and as a result, redefining mobility.
In 2009, Deloitte began to explore perspectives on automotive brands, desired features, and shopping experiences for consumers born 1977-1994 – “Gen Y”.
The leading purchase considerations for Gen Y have changed every year since the study began in 2009.
Some key insights and takeaways from the study:
• 75% of consumers are interested in acquiring a car within the next 5 years
• Almost half of Generation Y consumers in Australia think they will be driving an alternative powertrain five years from now, with strong preference for Hybrid Electrics, and indicate they are willing to pay more for it
• Improved safety and efficiency technologies are seen as the greatest technology benefits by Gen Y (over cockpit technologies)
• 55% of Gen Y (26% all others) like using a smartphone app to plan transport
• About two-thirds of Gen Y consumers are influenced by friends and family
• Today, most consumers are interested in basic levels of automation e.g. traction control, ABS.
Auto shoppers are open to influences. Today’s auto intenders are open-minded with 72% of search sessions involving cross-shopping. In-market shoppers are researching more than ever. While time in-market is roughly the same, these shoppers are turning to 24 research touch points on average. Connected devices are driving greater research activity. Mobile usage has increased 35% year over year, with a focus on research and comparison activities. Video influences auto brand discovery and consideration. Video research is on the rise and online video was the #1 format for encouraging brand consideration. Dealer interaction and post-purchase experiences matter. 62% of the vehicle owners said customer service could influence future purchases.

2. 2 Deloitte 2014 Global Automotive Consumer Study
3. Introduction
Forces are changing the mobility landscape and affording consumers more choices than ever before
in meeting their transportation needs. For automotive companies, these shifting consumer demands
result in a number of complex questions that may ultimately impact their products and how they
engage their customers.
To explore consumers’ mobility choices and transportation decisions, Deloitte fielded a survey in 19
countries. In total, more than 23,000 individuals representing a broad range of cross generational—
Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y—automotive consumers responded to the survey. This broad and
diverse consumer demographic, both across countries and Gen Y, allowed for in-depth analysis
through multiple lenses, including generational, socio-economic, gender, and many others.
The objectives of the study centered on understanding the factors influencing consumers’ mobility
decisions as new transportation models that provide access to transportation (e.g., car-sharing, etc.)
emerge. We also analyzed the different tradeoffs consumers are willing to pay for to own a vehicle,
and examined how preferences for powertrains, technology (inside and outside of the vehicle), and
lifestyle needs impact consumers’ choice in the purchase or lease decision. The study also sought to
assess the customer experience and the factors influencing the final vehicle purchase decision.
The findings of the study outlined in the following pages represent the analysis of the over 2,000 U.S.
consumers who responded to this global survey. These findings form the foundation for an informed
dialogue between automakers, dealers, and non-automotive companies working within the industry
about the factors that will increasingly impact how consumers around the world choose to get from
one place to another.

About the Global Automotive
Consumer Study
The Global Automotive Consumer Study focuses on "the changing nature of mobility" and how
mobility affects various aspects of the automobile buying and ownership experience. Within the
mobility theme, the study examines how alternative powertrains, connected vehicle technology
and automation, and the sales channel experience influences the transportation choices of
automotive consumers.

Hyper-urbanization
Connected technology
Generational views
In 2006, the world reached a critical midpoint;
over half of the world’s population was living in
a city. The trend is expected to accelerate, with
approximately 70% of the world’s population
expected to live in cities by 2050 (90% in North
America)1
. Overcrowding, the realities of traffic, and
new capabilities enabled by technology are all leading
to more collaborative approaches to transport: for
example, the “sharing economy,” driverless cars, and
improved public transportation.
Individuals today have a number of transportation
options, and increasingly their transportation
decisions are differing across Gen Y. Some tend
to gravitate toward traditional vehicle ownership
models, while others are highly interested in models
that provide access to mobility, allow them to remain
connected (and productive), and reduce costs. These
differing views and expectations of mobility, along
with disruptions of traditional ownership models, will
likely change how OEMs engage their customers.
Innovations in V2X connectivity, mobile phones, apps, and smart card technology are disrupting the
automotive industry. Moreover, automotive consumers will increasingly expect customer experiences that go
beyond the sales or service transaction and leverage technology to integrate with their connected lifestyles—
both inside and outside of the vehicle. The formerly clear lines—between humans and machines, between
ownership and non-ownership, between goods and services—will blur as a result of connectivity and the
information generated and used interchangeably by people and machines.
As these powerful and dynamic forces continue to take shape, consumer mobility
preferences are rapidly evolving.
Why Conduct a Global Automotive Consumer Study?
9. Deloitte 2014 Global Automotive Consumer Study 4
The mass adoption and use of new transportation
systems (e.g., public transportation, electric and
driverless cars vehicles, supporting infrastructure,
etc.) is going to require increased public-private
collaborations. Government will neither be able to
fully fund nor take primary responsibility for the
requirements supporting tomorrow's transportation
systems. Moreover, the sheer complexity of
transportation systems that work for everyone argues
that many players will have to be involved. The
resulting improved systems will likely offer consumers
better transportation options that are more efficient,
cost effective, and environmentally friendly.
In 2012, new Corporate Average Fuel Economy
(CAFE) standards were released in the U.S. that require
automakers to raise the average fuel efficiency of
new cars and trucks to 54.5 MPG by 2025. At the
same time, U.S. consumer interest in large SUVs and
trucks remains high. These factors are fueling the
development of disruptive innovations within the
vehicle—particularly advancements in alternative
powertrains. As a result, by 2025, consumers in
the U.S. may have the ability to choose from a mix
of proven powertrain options that best meet their
lifestyle needs—including more efficient internal
combustion engines, electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in
hybrids, and vehicles powered by natural gas.

In general, U.S. consumers today find
higher levels of automation
less desirable
But Gen Y is far more comfortable with
autonomous vehicles than other generations
U.S. federal government definitions for
autonomous (driverless) vehicles
• Basic: Allows the vehicle to assist the
driver by performing specific tasks like
anti-lock braking (prevent from skidding)
and/or traction control (to prevent loss of
grip with the road).
• Advanced: Combines at least two
functions such as adaptive cruise
control and lane centering technology
in unison to relieve the driver of control
of those functions.
• Limited Self-Driving: Allows the
vehicle to take over all driving functions
under certain traffic and environmental
conditions. If conditions changed, the
vehicle would recognize this and the driver
would then be expected to be available to
take back control of the vehicle.
• Full Self-Driving: Allows the vehicle
to take over all driving functions for an
entire trip. The driver would simply need
to provide an address and the vehicle
would take over and require no other
involvement from the driver.
