Recent Developments

• The global automotive low emission vehicle market players are having a firm understanding of the fact that the current batteries in use for hybrid vehicles are unable to meet the criteria but the lithium-ion battery is being considered as an excellent option. This is a futuristic approach that has a high energy density. The mass production of FHEV cars is including nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries. However, the technological shift in battery employment is expected to provide the market with technological benefits.


• The safety-related mandates that have been initiated by the global governments like CAFE belonging to the US, and EURO standards of Europe, are rolling various kinds of environmental and safety regulations. These regulations tend to control the concentration of emissions and further, save the fuel economy. The main objective behind these regulations is to optimize the engine’s performance along with powertrains that will help in bringing down the fuel costs and emissions.


• China, as a part of the APAC region, is imposing a quota on the manufacturing of vehicles that are 100% electric or hybrid. Beijing, China issues only 10,000 permits for registration of vehicles with a combustion engine on monthly basis. The main aim behind this is to encourage the inhabitants to make a move and switch to make efficient use of owing and using electronic vehicles.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

The sales quantum of electric vehicles is one of the major components of environmental goals and policies.
