DUBLIN--September 25, 2012: Research and Markets (Advanced Energy Systems) has announced the addition of the "Advanced Energy Storage and Distribution Report - 2012 Edition" report to their offering.
“Advanced Energy Storage and Distribution Report - 2012 Edition”
OEMs have a wide range of non-electrification options for improving fuel efficiency, including a wide range of powertrain, drivetrain and mass reduction measures. However, without significant electrification, the challenging CO2 regulation now in place will drive OEMs out of the larger and luxury vehicle segments. Improvements in fuel efficiency become more costly to achieve, and the penalties OEMs are subject to will become particularly onerous.
Therefore, commentary from across the automotive industry, and particularly from OEMs can give a great deal of certainty that there is no real alternative to advanced battery development. The primary driving force for this being the inability of the industry to meet longer term (2020) CO2 and mpg targets without significant vehicle electrification, including hybrids (HEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (EVs).
In terms of vehicles in use the automotive battery sector is still dominated by lead acid technology, along with nickel metal hydride (NiMH) for hybrid vehicles, and only today are lithium-ion (Li-ion) technologies beginning the commercial journey to widespread automotive use.
About this report
This second edition report looks at the key drivers in this sector including Fuel economy and CO2 emissions, fuel prices, energy security, safety, energy and power density and material resources.
The report goes on to examine the advanced battery value chain and advanced automotive batteries, in particular enhanced lead acid batteries, nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium-ion, anode chemistries, electrolytes & additives and manufacturing issues and quality.
Finally the report looks at market development and the lithium-ion value chain along with detailed profiles and analysis of 32 major players in this sector.
