Need for Emission Free Vehicles drives the market of Light Duty Hybrid Vehicles Globally

Transparency Market Research (TMR), A Market Intelligence And Research Firm, Has Published A Research Study On " Light Duty Hybrid Vehicles Market " A vehicle that utilizes two or more different fuel sources to operate and to move the vehicle is known as a hybrid vehicle. Such term is often referred to the electric hybrid vehicles, which merge one or more electric motors to an internal combustion (IC) engine. There are also other several mechanisms to utilize the captured energy such as human–hybrid (human-electric) vehicles. These vehicles are environmentally friendly and are being promoted by automobile & automotive manufacturers and local governments. Hybrid vehicles are often powered by a number of sources such as solid combustibles, human powered, CNG, LNG, hydrogen, electricity, electromagnetic fields, petrol, diesel wind and solar power. These vehicles are designed according to the power source and its availability. Light duty vehicles are mainly used for city transport of as a personal vehicle. Current hybrid light duty vehicle designs are an extension of electric vehicles. In current development stage electric powered vehicles don’t provide long run in a single charge. Similarly, bio-fuel powered vehicles have constrained of power output. Light duty hybrid vehicles provide an advantage over these problems and provide more power as well as a good range in single go.

There are various design modifications of hybrid vehicles such as light duty and heavy duty. Light duty vehicles are further classified as hatchback cars, bikes and others. According to the technology, light duty hybrid vehicles can further be classified as human-electric powered vehicles, petroleum-electric powered vehicles, bio-fuel-petroleum powered vehicles and others. These vehicles are becoming a trend in the North America and Europe industry. Thus, North America and Europe automotive industries are leading in the light duty hybrid vehicle market. However, considering the future possibility of cost reduction in this market, Asia Pacific and RoW are likely to capture a considerable market share in light duty hybrid vehicle market.

One of the major driving factors of this market is growing awareness regarding the use of emission free vehicles. However, current green powered vehicle designs don’t allow producing the same power as that of petroleum powered. Thus, such factors are creating the need of hybrid vehicles in the light duty applications. Nevertheless, government initiatives, incentive schemes and subsidies to promote less polluting vehicles are also propelling the market. Conversely, higher cost of manufacturing, unavailability of spare parts globally and market domination by petroleum powered vehicles are holding back the market in some areas. The market has been in a growing phase yet and is likely to widen up the opportunities in the forecast period.

China Research On NEV Taxi Market

NEV Taxi
According to a new research report recently published by Transparency Market Research, the China new energy vehicle (NEV) taxi market is expected to reach US$560.5 million at the end of the forecast period between 2014 and 2020. The research report, titled ‘NEV Taxi Market - China Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020’, states that the China new energy vehicle taxi market will grow at a 36.5% CAGR.

NEV (New Energy Vehicle) taxi refers to a vehicle using unconventional vehicle fuels as a source of power, or a vehicle using conventional fuels with advanced automotive propulsion systems. Taxis in China travel around 450 kilometers on daily basis. Considering their high number and long working hours, introduction of new energy vehicle taxis in China offer an opportunity to limit fuel consumption and curb emissions.

Government support in form of financial subsidies and tax incentives coupled with advancements in battery technology are the major factors driving this market. With rapid urbanization, the number of vehicles in China has grown considerably, resulting in increased air pollution, and fuel consumption. This has necessitated the central government in China to promote the use of new energy vehicles. In spite of these growth factors, absence of comprehensive charging infrastructures and high cost of batteries have collectively inhibited the growth of NEV taxis in China.

However, their lies tremendous opportunity for growth of new energy vehicles in China, especially, in the field of V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) and battery swapping technology. Moreover, use of REEVs (Range Extended Electric Vehicle) is an opportunity area, especially over the next few years till the Chinese market becomes mature enough to support mass production of BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles).

Key segments of The Electric Motors Market

China NEV Taxi Market, by Ownership
  • Company owned
  • Individually owned
China NEV Taxi Market, by Taxi Range:
  • Short range
  • Long range
In China, majority of NEV taxis are state-owned and are operated through taxi companies that receive support from the government. In 2012, company owned NEV taxis accounted for over 3/4th of the total NEV taxi market in China. With commuters preferring public vehicles over private taxis, the dominance by company-owned taxis is expected to continue over the forecast period from 2014 to 2020. In 2012, short range (80km – 150 km) NEV taxis accounted for the majority of market share. However, with advancements in battery technology, long range NEV taxis are expected to outnumber short-range NEV taxis over the forecast period from 2014 to 2020. Major industry participants include BYD Auto Co., Ltd., Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co Ltd (JAC), Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co., Ltd. (BAIC), Changan Automobile Co., Ltd, Beiqi Foton Motor Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company among others.
