Electric vehicles - seeing the big picture
Energy harvesting is being widely considered and used for electric vehicles. The burgeoning electric vehicle EV industry cannot be understood by simply looking at cars. The complete market value is, and will remain, about double the market for cars.28 Jan 2010
Electric Vehicles - Seeing the Big Picture
The burgeoning electric vehicle EV industry cannot be understood by simply looking at cars. The complete market value is, and will remain, about double the market for cars. The leaders such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan make electric vehicles for many applicational sectors.2009

The battery is the car
Plug in hybrid electric cars are now prioritised by most major car manufacturers. Pure electric on- road cars are prioritised by Nissan and a host of vibrant start up companies, they have one thing in common. The cleverest, most expensive part of their planned vehicles is increasingly the traction battery.27 Aug 2009
Quick charging system using solar panels and lithium ion batteries
Nissan Motor Co Ltd and Showa Shell Sekiyu K K have announced that they will start studies on joint development of a quick charging system for electric vehicles (EV) using Showa Shell's next-generation CIS solar panels and Nissan's advanced lithium ion batteries for automotive use.11 Aug 2009
Motoring without the gas station
Hybrid cars are a great success. In addition, pure electric cars are at last moving beyond the golf car and neighbourhood vehicle stage with serious volumes beginning to be sold.7 May 2009
Hybrid and pure electric cars - the next ten years
Some of the new electric cars generate at least some of their electric power from solar cells on the vehicle - In future, they may generate electricity in part from shock absorbers, transparent solar cells over windows and thermoelectrically from the engine and exhaust in hybrid.11 Feb 2009
More power from bumps in the road
Printed electronics is used in several forms of energy harvesting, so we thought we would share this dramatic opportunity with you although it is not yet clear what technology is involved. A shock absorber that harnesses energy from small bumps in the road could save a company such as Wal-Mart $13 million a year in fuel costs by converting its fleet of trucks.7 Jan 2009
Concerns about lithium supply
Is a problem looming in the electronics industry due to some estimates that the demand for lithium will increase three to seven times by 2012?2008

Printed Photovoltaics in Japan
The approach to the new photovoltaics is different in Japan. Unlike Western car companies, Honda is making photovoltaics partly because it could help to create the car of the future. The Western car companies take a shorter term view and even struggle to catch up with Japanese hybrid vehicle technology and the batteries required.11 Jul 2008

Enthusiasm for New Printed Electronics Conference in Tokyo
IDTechEx conferences on Printed Electronics in the USA and Europe are highly regarded. By popular request, the company is now staging an annual Printed Electronics Asia conference and exhibition in Tokyo September 10-11. The title is carefully chosen because both organic and inorganic electronics have a great future. It is therefore best to explore all the possibilities and achievements.12 Jul 2007

Printed Electronics - the Giants Get Involved
Printed electronics often involves simple things such as printed conductive patterns to counter the pollution, unreliability, bulk, weight and cost of wires, solder and etched patterns. Most commonly, printed electronics will be used where traditional technology is simply not a feasible solution, such as wallpaper that generates power and doubles as a television and lighting or electronic anti-counterfeiting on 100 billion cigarette packets yearly, giving traceability at a cost of only 0.1 cents per package.
