In this case, hybrid technology were designed for the purpose of fuel-economy and environmental friendly. This paper attempts to examine the buyer preferences for hybrid car with the objectives to investigate factors that influence buyer’s behavioral intentions toward green technology. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is applied in this study, including attitude and awareness toward hybrid technology, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control were measured.
