Presentation: The natural turnover from old to new is often thought to only bring about slow change in the adoption of technology. But new technologies generally come to market quickly, and the adoption of new green technologies will not be slow, with policy measures, consumer sentiment and so customer demand likely to cause more rapid transitions in all markets, including the automotive sector. Data on the rates of take up of new technology by the automotive industry tells us we should expect rapid change in the move to greener vehicles.
