The 2014 Global Automotive Consumer Study for Australia examines how mobility choices are changing due to trends such as urbanization, generational differences, and emerging technologies. It highlights Gen Y's distinct preferences, including a strong interest in alternative powertrains and connectivity, while expressing concerns over costs and convenience in vehicle ownership. The study suggests significant opportunities and challenges for automotive manufacturers as consumer behavior evolves, particularly among younger generations who are less devoted to traditional car ownership and more inclined towards shared mobility solutions.
