Eng.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1988 Summary: This study investigates the impact of an alternative automobile strategy (car restriction and public transport provision) on the demand for energy in the road passenger transport. Using a simple transport model , the energy demand in a low car growth scenario was determined and compared with the base case normal growth scenario. The results were then used as input to the input-output model in the determination of macroeconomic and energy impacts. Results show that a substantial reduction in energy use is achievable even with a moderate degree of implementation of such a policy. The macro impacts are, however, not significant owing to the low domestic content of automobiles assembled in the Philippines. Most affected are the Motor Vehicles and Petroleum sectors which registered large decreases in output. An important implication of this is that, for oil importing developing countries such as the Philippines, this policy will lead to savings in much needed foreign currency.
