Fortum is a Nordic electricity, heating and energy provider that also offers clean-energy and resource efficiency-related services, including demolition and recycling. This profile provides an update of Fortum's 2022-Q1 2023 developments in Li-ion battery recycling.

Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) come in different forms and thermal conductivities. Typical TIM forms include gap pads, thermal greases, thermally conductive adhesives (TCA), and phase change materials.

Depending on the technology being talked about, there are already solid-state batteries being commercialized and they could enable a US$8 billion dollar business opportunity in 2033, according to IDTechEx's report "Solid-State and Polymer Batteries 2023-2033: Technology, Forecasts, Players".

EVR Motors is an Israeli start-up that produces electric motors using a unique patented topology. It demonstrates higher power density than competing motors in its category.

Accurec Recycling GmbH is a German recycling company, which processes nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, and lithium-ion batteries.

Suncar HK, headquartered in Oberbüren, Switzerland, develops electric powertrain systems for non-road mobile machinery. IDTechEx spoke to Suncar about market trends in construction, future technologies in the construction industry, and Suncar's long-term intentions within the industry.

Nissan is a global automaker based out of Japan and founded in 1933. It is a historic leader in electric vehicles and in 2010 went on to release one of the first battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to achieve mainstream success, the Nissan Leaf. In this full profile IDTechEx explores Nissan's latest EV developments including research into all solid-state batteries (aSSB).

While rail contributes the least to freight transport emissions, use of diesel cannot continue forever in any market. This issue is exacerbated by the long life of trains, which can go beyond 30 years, meaning if solutions are not looked at today diesel trains will still be in operation well past 2050. In this premium article, IDTechEx explores the opportunities emerging for battery electric and fuel cell trains, including multiple unit, locomotive and shunter trains.

This premium article discusses electric vehicle (EV) battery cold plates and coolant hoses, including examples from key market players.

Bipolar plates form the backbone of proton exchange fuel cells and consequently capture a significant portion of the fuel cell stack value, with IDTechEx forecasting their market value to exceed US$2.4 bn by 2033.

POSCO Holdings is a South Korean steel-making company and has wider capabilities within the battery manufacturing and recycling markets.

XPeng is a Chinese EV startup looking to penetrate the European market. XPeng delivered 120,757 vehicles in 2022, up 23% from 2021, but net losses nearly doubled to about US$1.3 billion.

This premium article gives an introduction to sodium-ion batteries, including their characteristics, value proposition, policies surrounding their development, and more.

Si insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) have dominated the medium-to-high power device range for 20 years including in electric vehicle (EV) power electronics but are giving way to a new generation of wide bandgap (WBG) materials: SiC and GaN. This will fundamentally impact the design of new power devices, including the package materials, as ever smaller and higher power-density modules, operating at higher temperatures, emerge. In this premium article, IDTechEx explores the growing list of supply relationships as they have evolved over the past year.
