Abstract :
Our study examines the future of hybrid vehicle technology using the AHP method in combination with four scenarios: Status Quo, Catastrophic, Environmental Milieu, and Economic Milieu. Each scenario has its own set of criteria that must be examined in conjunction with the set of objectives and alternatives presented in the AHP method. Some of the objectives in the AHP method include: alternative fuel sources, cultural influences, emergent powers, economics, and the environment. A separate AHP analysis is repeated for each scenario.
