VECTOR21_DLR

Since 2007 the DLR Institute of Vehicle Concepts is conducting research on the underlying causalities and interdependencies of vehicle markets. VECTOR21 incorporates this knowledge in a detailed bottom-up scenario and market analysis software for simulating future market developments. It is able to assess how future vehicle technologies will penetrate markets in Europe. VECTOR21 is a hybrid of an agent-based and discrete choice market penetration model that assesses the competition among different powertrain alternatives in passenger car and commercial vehicle markets. It is used to model the effects of changing political and technological conditions on the prospective market shares of powertrain technologies. The interactive dashboard of the tool displays inputs and results where the experts can modify their scenarios and analyze the new outputs in seconds.
