Dublin, April 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles 2017-2027" report to their offering. There is still no agreement on the best type of electric motor to use in either of them. On the author's analysis, the booming, confusing traction motor business will rise to around $400 billion in 2027.
"Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles 2017-2027" navigates the jargon, the design options and, yes, the disagreement. The changing needs and evolving technology are matched to create forecasts and technology timelines based on intensive recent travel and interviews by PhD level analysts. The report reveals how the REM system is taking a larger share of cost over the years as simpler batteries reduce in cost. By contrast, REM systems are variously being asked to grab regenerative energy, eliminate transmission, provide better speed/ torque characteristics and even form part of the structure such as tucked into the wheel with brake and controller. In hybrids add takeoff. Creeping and active cruising with engine off and start and boost the engine. Crucially, in addition to becoming motor-generators, more REMs are being used per vehicle for reasons explained in the report which has in-wheel forecasts for that form of multi-motor. "Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles 2017-2027" reports that, increasingly, the choice of REM system benefits the unique selling propositions of the vehicle. Where it eliminates the need for a gearbox it can increase range 15%. Extreme power-to-weight ratio REMs are sought for most vehicles. Key Topics Covered: 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS 1.1.
