采用替代燃料汽车（AFV）已被视为解决能源依赖、空气质量以及最近的气候变化问题的最重要战略之一。尽管经过几十年的努力，我们仍然面临着艰巨的挑战，以促进公众更广泛地接受装甲车辆。需要进行更多的实证分析，以了解与不同市场结构相关的技术采用过程、规章和奖励措施的有效性以及足以实现可持续商业应用的基础设施密度。本文比较了八个国家（阿根廷、巴西、中国、印度、意大利、新西兰、巴基斯坦和美国）对天然气汽车（NGV）的采用情况。它审查了旨在促进使用天然气汽车的主要政策，执行这些政策的工具，并针对可能的利益相关者，以及影响采用天然气汽车的一系列因素。本文的研究结果对其他装甲车辆具有一定的借鉴意义。
The adoption of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) has been regarded as one of the most important strategies to address the issues of energy dependence, air quality, and, more recently, climate change. Despite decades of effort, we still face daunting challenges to promote wider acceptance of AFVs by the general public. More empirical analyses are needed to understand the technology adoption process associated with different market structures, the effectiveness of regulations and incentives, and the density of infrastructure adequate to reach sustainable commercial application. This paper compares the adoption of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) in eight countries: Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Italy, New Zealand, Pakistan, and the US. It examines the major policies aimed at promoting the use of NGVs, instruments for implementing those policies and targeting likely stakeholders, and a range of factors that influence the adoption of NGVs. The findings in this paper should be applicable to other AFVs.
