Abstract :

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) have been introduced on the Indonesian market since the 2000s in an effort to minimize emissions from the country’s automotive industry. Using a conjoint analysis approach, the objective of this study was to determine the most preferred combination of HEV attributes. This study assessed whether a variety of attributes, such as (1) vehicle pricing, (2) driving range, (3) consumption level, (4) emission level, and (5) HEV policies, had the most influence on purchasing decisions. A conjoint analysis and a choice-based survey design were utilized to determine respondents’ preferences for HEV. The results revealed that price was the attribute that influenced respondents’ purchase decisions the most (39,7%), followed by policy (22%), emission (15,9%), consumption (13,7%), and driving range (8,7%) being the least preferred. Automotive companies will benefit from the findings of this study about customer preferences for HEV attributes. Lastly, the findings of this study can be used to research electric vehicles conducted around the world.
