MOT - Motoring and vehicle Ownership Trends in the UK

The project aims to reduce emissions from car travel by understanding car ownership patterns and the effects of policy measures. Efforts to reduce the emissions from car travel have so far been hampered by a lack of specific information on car ownership and use.

The Motoring and vehicle Ownership Trends in the UK (MOT) project seeks to address this by bringing together new sources of data to give a spatially and disaggregated diagnosis of car ownership and use in Great Britain and the associated emissions and energy demands.




The original EPSRC project (EP/K000438/1) has now been completed. The project team are working on securing funding for follow-on work.
