Manufacturers are pushing back the technical boundaries of batteries used for hybrid electric vehicles. Not so long ago, the automotive industry was protecting an old technology yet nowadays it appears to have embraced the need for hybrids and the use of advanced battery technology. According to executives at Western Lithium Corp, macroeconomic, political and environmental events such as oil dependency, new competition and increasing carbon emissions have all contributed towards the new move to electrification of transportation. They told just-auto: “New technology in the form of lithium-ion batteries has facilitated the change away from old business models that are not sustainable in the future. The economic recession has actually forced governments, corporations and consumers to make decisions that will return future benefits with respect to profitability and sustainability. The automotive industry is quickly responding to the anticipated demand for electric and hybrid cars and is working towards mass-producing them in a profitable manner, with manufacturers like Nissan and GM leading the way.”
Yet the sheer cost of such advanced batteries for electric vehicles appears to be a stumbling block. Battery manufacturers report more and more governmental authorities taking on a longer-range outlook as far as the environment is concerned.
This just-auto sector report reviews the key market drivers, mainly for starter batteries, but with the rise in interest of new battery technology, we also look at new developments in areas such as lithium-ion. The report includes our estimates of global market volume for advanced batteries fitted to hybrid light vehicles (from 2008 to 2016).
Following our market overview in Chapter 1, just-auto’s product fitment forecasts in Chapter 2 predict in some detail how the OE market for lead-acid starter batteries will evolve in Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Japan, China and North America from 2006 through to 2016. This chapter includes our estimates and forecasts for the total (OES and independent) aftermarket for lead-acid starter batteries for passenger cars and commercial vehicles across the European Union, i.e. Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the UK, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden. The chapter also provides 2008 % market share of the major lead-acid battery suppliers by region.
Chapter 3 Technical review
This chapter sets out a review of recent innovations in starter batteries as well as advanced battery technology including exclusive interviews with Western Lithium Corp, EaglePicher Technologies and SB LiMotive (a joint venture between Bosch and Samsung SDI). The three main battery technologies discussed here are: lead-acid, nickel (Ni-MH), and lithium-ion (Li-ion). These interviews provide a wealth of insight into the issues and trends surrounding future battery technology and manufacturing.
Chapter 4 Manufacturers
This chapter provides profiles of the major manufacturers, namely Exide Technologies, Fiamm, GS Yuasa, Johnson Controls and Shin-Kobe Electric Machinery.
