increase in car ownership at lower incomes, after which car ownership increases rapidly before finally reaching saturation levels at around 450 cars per 1,000 population, under a “normal” European or Asian pattern of development. Over the study period, the increase in GDP in Nigeria from US$1,222 in 2010 to $4,386/capita in 2035 is projected to result in car ownership increasing from 29 cars per 1,000 population in 2010 to 72 cars per 1,000 in 2035. Factors other than income are also at play, as evidenced by the range of different car ownership levels observed at similar income levels in countries around the world (figure 7.3). For example, at the US$4,400/capita income projected for Nigeria in 2035, car ownership varies from 35 to 130 vehicles per 1,000 Low-Carbon Development  •  http://dx.doi.org/10.1596/978-0-8213-9925-5
