I asked the new people about the car.68.7 % of people who need cars in rural areas!Why are you common in people who don't have it for life?

■ Is "young cars away" due to soaring cars?

It's been a long time since I started to say that Ithful people left cars, but it seems that many young generations living in large cities such as Tokyo do not own cars.On the other hand, there are many areas in rural areas where they cannot live without cars.

So, do people who live in rural areas and become new adults in 2022 do cars or actually own them?

The Nile, which operates the flat -rate car leasing "Frequent Carmo -kun", has 994 men and women in 2022 new adults nationwide (born April 2, 2001 to April 1, 2002), except for Tokyo.Survey was conducted on whether cars were needed.

As a result, 68 who answered that cars were needed in their lives..Although 7 %, I found out that the highest reason because I didn't need it was "economic reasons."

● I need more than one in three people, but I do not have a car

The survey was conducted on the Internet for the period from November 25 to December 7, 2021.

In the survey, we first asked about whether cars are needed for life.resulting in,

・ "Necessary" 68.7%・ "Not necessary" 31.3 %

And more than half of the people who need a car to live.

Next, in the survey, we have heard from those who answered that cars are necessary for life.Result is,

・ "I have" 64.4 % -"I don't have" 35.6 %

It seems that more than one in three people does not actually own a car, despite the need for a car in life.

● The reason why you do not have the highest purchase cost

Also, in the survey, we have asked those who do not have a private car, even though they need a car for their lives.The results are as follows.

1st place: "Economic and financial reasons" 40.8 % 2nd place: "No license" 23.6 %3位：「学生だから」 10.3 % 4th place: "Because the maintenance cost after purchase is high" 5.2 % 5th place: "There is a family / acquaintance car" 5.2 % 6th place: "Because there is no parking lot" 4.6 %＊「その他」 10.3 %

Many of the first -place "economic and financial reasons" are mainly for purchase costs, such as "cars are expensive" and "no economic power".Combined with the fourth place "because the maintenance cost after purchase is high", it is also found that 50%of those who do not have it for reasons for money are half of the total.

By the way, the transportation of people who did not have the most trains, followed by bicycles and walking.

● Economical models such as good fuel economy are popular

In the survey, I also asked those who answered "I have a private car" and asked if they were on the ideal car.

Result is,

・ "Ride" 55.9 % -"I can't ride" 44.1 %

The result is a little more "riding".

さらに、同じ人たちに、「理想のクルマの条件」も聞いています。そのResult is,以下の通りです。

1st place: "Design and color are good" 22.6%2nd place: "Good fuel economy" 15.1 %3位：「運転がしやすい」 13.1 %4位：「固有の車種、型」 12.9 %5th place: "No money" 7.7%6th place: "The inside of the car is wide" 6.3 %7位：「安心安全性能」 3.4% * "Others" 18.9 %

"Design and color are good" including "cool" and "cute", but the most important thing is that the fifth place is "good fuel economy", "no money".Good fuel economy and lack of money means that the economic model is good, so it is 22 in combination..8%exceeds the first place design and color.

In recent years, the fact that fuel -efficient cars, such as hybrid vehicles, are popular, even for the younger generation.

● Why can't you ride an ideal car?

In the survey, I also asked those who answered "I can't get on the ideal car" and "Why are you not on the ideal car?"The results are as follows.

1st place: "Economic and financial reasons" 69.5 %2nd place: "Because it's a family car" 9.3 %3位：「学生だから」 5.1 %4位：「免許がないから」 5.1 %5位：「譲り受けたクルマだから」 2.5 % * "Others" 8.5 %

"Economic and financial reasons" is overwhelming.Many people have a great deal of money to own an ideal car.

According to this survey, many new adults have "economic and financial reasons" for those who cannot own cars even if they need them for their lives, and those who have not been on the ideal model.I understand that.

In recent cars, the number of models equipped with advanced equipment, such as collision damage reduction brakes and acceleration suppression devices when pedaling mistakes, has increased considerably in terms of safety.

On the other hand, on the other hand, the price of cars is on a rise, for example, some models have a total purchase price of more than 2 million yen even for mini cars.

Especially for many new adults who will become a member of society and are going to earn income, it is certain that it is difficult to buy a car for life.

Advanced technology requires a huge amount of development costs before practical use, so it is difficult to balance prices and balance.Furthermore, in the future, it is expected that BEVs running only with 100%electricity and motors are expected to be realized in the future, but the worrisome thing is the purchase price.

Expensive BEVs will not be able to buy these young generations.I would like to look forward to the appearance of such a (like a dream?) Model, which is gentle in the global environment, is affordable, and has low maintenance costs due to electric expenses.
