subject: Global Electric Vehicles Industry structure, market trends and Power Sources [print this page] Electric Vehicles and Power Sources: Technologies and Global Markets
This report is intended to provide a unique analysis of the broadly defined global electric vehicle market and will be of interest to all types of automakers, manufacturers of batteries, battery chargers, and fuel cells. It also will be valuable to current and existing electrical vehicle users and competitors. This report also can provide valuable information in terms of assessing investment in particular technologies and, therefore, should benefit investors directly or indirectly. Automakers and power source suppliers also may find market trends of interest in view of establishing growth strategies.

All the technological and market forces were resolved or exceeded, and during the first 5 years of the 21st century, the EV market began a slow, steady period of growth. The second 5 years saw widespread use of HEVs, the commercial production of pure batterypowered EVs in many niche markets, wide adoption of batterypowered scooters, and commercialscale demonstrations of fuel cell vehicles.
Scope Of Report :
After decades of expensive development and false starts, the world is finally ready for electric vehicles. As defined by this report, "electric vehicles" includes commercial approaches such as pure batterypowered vehicles, plugin hybrids, hybrid internal combustion/battery, range extending, and fuel cell vehicles as well as vehicles powered by developmental power sources such as supercapacitors and flywheelpowered. In addition to cars and trucks, this report considers motorcycles, scooters, buses, neighborhood electric vehicles, and locomotives.
This report details the actuals for 2005 and 2009 and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) projections for 2010 through 2015 for the North American, European, Far Eastern, and RestofWorld markets. Selected 2005 actuals will help as a basis for today's markets and tomorrow's projections. Vehicle sales and values are provided under consensus, optimistic, and pessimistic scenarios. A patent analysis and discussion for power sources and vehicle components describes where research is performed and emphasizes intellectual property issues.
