Updates from CES 2017

A team of IDTechEx analysts attended CES 2017 in the first week of January. Our aim was to cover all of the latest updates and trends in each of the topics that we cover. In this exclusive premium article, we report our observations in the VR, AR/MR, smartwatch & fitness tracker, sensors, air quality monitoring, displays and haptics spaces.

Honda introduces Cooperative Mobility Ecosystem

Honda unveiled its Cooperative Mobility Ecosystem connecting the power of artificial intelligence, robotics and big data to transform the mobility experience of the future and improve customers' quality of life.

Electric vehicles in construction are the future

The industrial and commercial sector is the largest part of the electric vehicle value market and that will continue to be the case according to analysis in the unique IDTechEx report, Industrial and Commercial Electric Vehicles 2017-2027.

Award-winning graphene battery could slash electric-car charging times

A student engineer from the University of Sussex has won a national car industry award for designing a new battery that could revolutionise electric vehicles.

Electric car range winners and losers

EP Tender is a range extending service for electric vehicles which takes the form of a light trailer which is rented on demand and attached to the EV on long distances.

Honda to use 3D printing to customise micro EVs

At this year's CEATEC, Japan's largest consumer electronics show, Honda showed an example of its so-called Micro Commuter electric car with a body that's been constructed using additive manufacturing.

Come back rear wheel drive in cars: All is forgiven?

This article discusses rear wheel drive technology in mild hybrid and full hybrid vehicles.

Which traction motor wins?

In this article IDTechEx analyzes the trends in traction motors at EVS29 in Montreal, Canada last week.

Manned electric aircraft get investment

The unique new IDTechEx Research report Manned Electric Aircraft 2016-2031 explains how, so far, electric aircraft have largely followed electric land and water vehicles.

Some automakers must change course urgently

As more automakers get embroiled in the discreditation of diesel, IDTechEx looks at their very different strategies and considers how some of these strategies now look in urgent need of review.

Two sudden changes in electric vehicles

This year sees two sudden changes in electric vehicles predicted by IDTechEx. To expand on what we said last week, the supply of new strong hybrids that do not plug in - like the traditional Prius - has all but ended.

Seeing the future of electric motors for electric vehicles

This article shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx Research report, Electric Vehicle Traction Motors, Belt Driven & Integrated Starter Generators 2016-2026. It is no longer contentious to say that the future of land, water and air vehicles is to be more and more electric.

BOC and ITM Power sign hydrogen refuelling & siting agreement

BOC has announced that it has signed an agreement with ITM Power to provide infrastructure for ITM Power's new electrolyser-based hydrogen refuelling stations for passenger cars.

Fuel cell vehicles back in focus

Something is stirring in the field of fuel cell vehicles.

New fuel cell design powered by graphene-wrapped nanocrystals

Hydrogen is the lightest and most plentiful element on Earth and in our universe. So it shouldn't be a big surprise that scientists are pursuing hydrogen as a clean, carbon-free, virtually limitless energy source for cars and for a range of other uses, from portable generators to telecommunications towers—with water as the only byproduct of combustion.
