Advanced Automotive Energy Storage and Distribution Report 2014
M2 - Tue Jun 17, 6:45AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kqqpt7/the_advanced) has announced the addition of the "The Advanced Automotive Energy Storage and Distribution Report" report to their offering. That vehicle electrification, and thus advanced battery development, is critical to reducing CO2 output through vehicle electrification is certain today. OEMs have explored a wide range of non-electrification options for improving fuel efficiency, including powertrain, drivetrain and mass reduction measures. However, without significant electrification the challenging CO2 regulation now being promulgated 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. Dr Christian Mohrdieck at Daimler recently commented to SupplierBusiness that none of the major European OEMs would be able to avoid electrification, as well as other technologies such as fuel cells and bio-fuels if they are to retain the breadth of product range they have today. Without electrification they would be limited to small cars. This report looks at the key drivers of advanced battery technologies, including fuel economy, CO2 emissions, incentives for grid-connected vehicles and energy security. The value chain for automotive batteries is examined, looking at battery costs and variations and recharging infrastructure. The report then takes a detailed look at advanced automotive battery technologies, including the state of currently competing architectures such as lead acid batteries, nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium batteries, anode and cathode materials, super-capacitors and ultra-capacitors. Finally the report provides an overview of the market development and the lithium-ion value chain, looking at short term overcapacity, the value chain today and in the future, manufacturing issues, and the overall market dynamics. The report also includes an appendix of 28 supplier profiles from suppliers of automotive batteries. These profiles provide you with relevant data on corporate strategy, investments, product offerings and contact information. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction - The key to CO2 reduction - 48-volt architecture - Fundamental research requirements 2. Key drivers - Fuel economy and CO2 emissions - Incentives for grid-connected vehicles - The effect of fuel prices on demand - Energy security - Safety - Energy and power density - Material resources 3.

Concise Analysis of the US Automotive Parts Aftermarket Market - Forecasts to 2018
M2 - Mon Mar 31, 3:30AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wwq5cz/automotive_parts) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the US Automotive Parts Aftermarket Market - Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering. The Automotive Parts aftermarket in the US is a highly fragmented market. Players in the market include independent companies, OEM-owned dealers, and manufacturer-authorized dealers. The market is also continuing to use the consolidation strategy as a means of increasing competitiveness. Also, the aim to become a desirable supplier has led to the major producers acquiring smaller companies in the market. In addition, falling prices and reduced profit margins have increased market consolidation, which will make it very difficult for small players to stay competitive in the market. According to the report, the main factor that is driving the Automotive Parts aftermarket in the US is the low costs associated with these components. The aftermarket parts are relatively cheaper than OE parts, and are, hence, beneficial for end-users. The prices may vary from store to store, and the end-user can check for the best possible price without compromising on product quality. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2.

Advanced Automotive Energy Storage and Distribution Report 2014
M2 - Tue Jun 17, 6:45AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kqqpt7/the_advanced) has announced the addition of the "The Advanced Automotive Energy Storage and Distribution Report" report to their offering. That vehicle electrification, and thus advanced battery development, is critical to reducing CO2 output through vehicle electrification is certain today. OEMs have explored a wide range of non-electrification options for improving fuel efficiency, including powertrain, drivetrain and mass reduction measures. However, without significant electrification the challenging CO2 regulation now being promulgated 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. Dr Christian Mohrdieck at Daimler recently commented to SupplierBusiness that none of the major European OEMs would be able to avoid electrification, as well as other technologies such as fuel cells and bio-fuels if they are to retain the breadth of product range they have today. Without electrification they would be limited to small cars. This report looks at the key drivers of advanced battery technologies, including fuel economy, CO2 emissions, incentives for grid-connected vehicles and energy security. The value chain for automotive batteries is examined, looking at battery costs and variations and recharging infrastructure. The report then takes a detailed look at advanced automotive battery technologies, including the state of currently competing architectures such as lead acid batteries, nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium batteries, anode and cathode materials, super-capacitors and ultra-capacitors. Finally the report provides an overview of the market development and the lithium-ion value chain, looking at short term overcapacity, the value chain today and in the future, manufacturing issues, and the overall market dynamics. The report also includes an appendix of 28 supplier profiles from suppliers of automotive batteries. These profiles provide you with relevant data on corporate strategy, investments, product offerings and contact information. Key Topics Covered: 1.

Concise Analysis of the US Automotive Parts Aftermarket Market - Forecasts to 2018
M2 - Mon Mar 31, 3:30AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wwq5cz/automotive_parts) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the US Automotive Parts Aftermarket Market - Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering. The Automotive Parts aftermarket in the US is a highly fragmented market. Players in the market include independent companies, OEM-owned dealers, and manufacturer-authorized dealers. The market is also continuing to use the consolidation strategy as a means of increasing competitiveness. Also, the aim to become a desirable supplier has led to the major producers acquiring smaller companies in the market. In addition, falling prices and reduced profit margins have increased market consolidation, which will make it very difficult for small players to stay competitive in the market. According to the report, the main factor that is driving the Automotive Parts aftermarket in the US is the low costs associated with these components. The aftermarket parts are relatively cheaper than OE parts, and are, hence, beneficial for end-users. The prices may vary from store to store, and the end-user can check for the best possible price without compromising on product quality. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. List of Abbreviations 3. Scope of the Report 4. Market Research Methodology 5. Introduction 6. Market Landscape 7. Market Segment by Product 8. Buying Criteria 9. Market Growth Drivers 10.
