Analyzing Light-Duty Hybrid-Electric Vehicles in the US
Motor vehicles are the principal source of greenhouse gases in many parts of the world and represent the largest single market for petroleum products. To address concerns about the pollution caused by internal combustion engine power plants and improve the energy efficiency of motor vehicle operation, a number of major automakers have sought to develop commercially viable battery- and/or fuel cell-powered vehicles. Efforts to commercialize electric vehicles (EVs) during the 1990s were largely unsuccessful, but product development activity has picked up in recent years, due in part to continuing improvements in battery technology. After more than a decade of extensive research, prototyping and test marketing, all-electric vehicles are finally being sold commercially by manufacturers.
The demand for light-duty hybrid-electric vehicles in the United States is expected to triple by 2016. Consumers will look to HEVs as a way to reduce both fuel expenses and their carbon footprint, while producers will continue to develop new hybrids in order to meet stricter fuel economy standards. Many commercial and government fleet managers are increasingly relying on hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to help protect their budgets from increasing fuel costs and reduce emissions of their fleets.
Fleet managers who calculate a lifetime cost for their vehicles are able to look past the higher initial costs for vehicles by looking at the overall cost including fuel and maintenance. In many areas with inexpensive fuel, these lifetime costs are still higher for hybrid vehicles than traditional vehicles, resulting in the need for grants, tax incentives or marketing benefits to justify the higher cost.
Light trucks will continue to represent a small share of total HEV sales as consumers remain wary about the hauling, towing and other performance capabilities of these vehicles. A lack of plug-in hybrid light trucks on the market, at least in the short term, will also restrain segment advances.
Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Company Ltd. and Ford Motor Company are the top players in the market.
