Research and Markets: 2012 Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Components Report - Market Drivers, System Requirements and Supply Chain


research and markets

DUBLIN--March 22, 2012: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Components Report" report to their offering.

“The Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Components Report”

This new 134 page report analyses the market drivers, system requirements and supply chain for electric and hybrid electric light-vehicle components. Also featured are scenarios for future market value.

The report examines the key requirements for motors, inverters, DC-DC converters, and other components for current and future vehicles, as well as evaluating the targets for future system performance. It also identifies key suppliers for current and future vehicles and their current product portfolio.

Background to this research

The potential forecast growth in electric and hybrid light vehicles is driving growth in a new supply chain for components required in these vehicles. Over the next decade the supply chain and components will mature, as manufacturers strive to optimise performance and reduce cost as well as allowing them to meet their future CO2 and fuel economy reduction targets.

It is certain that in the long-term the supply chain will consolidate as suppliers vie for contracts by developing winning technologies and shifting their technology to production. However the market forecasts and supply chain requirements represent a major risk to investors which are assessed in the report.
