As a part of the development of petroleum substitution energy, development of vehicles using petroleum substitution fuel has been promoted to meet a need for abating pollution caused by automobile exhaust gas in cities. This investigation is first made on the trends of making the existing cars low-pollutant, of policies for wide use/promotion of substitution fuel cars, and of possession of vehicles. It is then made on assumption of future performance and cost of electric vehicles, methanol cars and CNG cars through hearing on expert opinions from makers, promotion organizations, etc. Based on the assumption, shares of existing cars and petroleum substitution cars in newly registered cars are set up in time sequence, and a built simulation model for wide spread estimates the number of vehicles which can be spread by 2010. The result shows the number of vehicles to be spread is 380,000, and it is lower than those targeted and predicted by industry-associated organizations. For wide spread, it is important to select suitable markets for substitution fuel cars as promotion targets. 11 figs., 25 tabs.
