Key Issues Addressed

The increasing use of electric vehicles (EVs) worldwide boosts power semiconductor demand. Government laws and subsidies, original equipment manufacturers' (OEMs') dedication to net zero emissions, and sustainability goals accelerate EV penetration in the vehicle industry. This study focuses on wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors for the North Americ...

The electric vehicle (EV) market is growing rapidly and impacting the energy market and associated services. As OEMs integrate more software-defined solutions into EVs, a potential market for digital products and services (P&S) exists. EV-dedicated digital P&S allows key participants to continuously monetize these solutions through new revenue mode...

Stringent emission regulations boost the growth of the emerging EV industry. Supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19 and the Russo-Ukrainian war have led to a surge in commodity prices, which affected the global automotive value chain. In addition, economic sanctions between multiple countries have complicated the procurement of EV components;...

This strategic analysis offers an overview of BYD, primarily focusing on China Mainland and the countries to which it exports. BYD was a battery company before it joined the automotive manufacturing industry. With its rich background in batteries, it is the first EV OEM with a vertically integrated value chain and leader in the global EV market. ...

Industry digitalization increases automation on the factory floor through robots, cobots, and other autonomous machinery such as AGVs and AMRs. With rising adoption, associated issues like charging and maintenance draw focus as handling these autonomous vehicles without creating downtimes or disrupting their performance is a challenge. The ways to ...

Environmental concerns resulting from the increasingly apparent climate change effects drive the worldwide adoption of sustainable transportation. With governments phasing out vehicles that run on fossil fuels through stringent emissions regulations, people are purchasing electric vehicles (EVs) in significant numbers. The global EV market recorded...

Industry-wide fleet average CO2 emission targets for 2025 have been set to be 15% lower than 2020 levels, while 2030 levels will be 37.5% lower than 2020 levels. These targets are more stringent and are for cars only (separate targets are set for LCVs). Once the focus area for emission reduction, developments in IC engines no longer play an inte...

The widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased the need for efficient battery solutions, augmented safety, and an extended life span. To date, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have been predominantly used in electric powertrain; however, the adoption of Li-ion battery chemistries such as nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA), nickel ma...

Automotive sales in 2021 continued the seismic shift to electric vehicles (EV) that began in 2020, defying even the most bullish estimates as global EV sales grew by more than 100% year over year (YoY) with close to 6.7 million units sold to achieve 8.9% penetration in the passenger car market. China and Europe led the way, closely followed by the ...
