Volvo Cars is a Swedish multinational manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Gothenburg. Since 2010, Volvo Cars has been owned by Geely Holding Group, the parent company of Chinese automotive manufacturer Geely Automobile. 2024 saw Volvo Cars increase its sales of full BEVs by 54%, despite adjusting its target to be fully electric by 2030 downwards. This profile assesses Volvo's electrification efforts thus far and its roadmap going forwards.

Electrification is rapidly expanding beyond automotive, with IDTechEx predicting that by 2045, the electric vehicle market (ex. Automotive) will be worth US$1 trillion. IDTechEx's new report, "Electric Vehicles: Land, Sea, and Air 2025-2045", covers 11 key vehicle segments, breaking down historic and forecast growth across 148 forecast lines, including battery demand, drivetrain share, and market value. What is the outlook for such diverse sectors as buses, planes, boats, and planes?

Gesits is a prominent Indonesian manufacturer of electric mopeds, scooters, and motorcycles.

While EV market growth has slowed down, particularly in Europe and the US since 2023, China has maintained uptake and is currently the largest single market for EVs in the world. The new energy vehicle (NEV) market in China sees PHEV cars driving this strong growth in the future, with the market share for PHEVs having nearly doubled from 2023 to H1 2024.

IDTechEx attended AABC 2024 in Las Vegas. This premium article discusses some of the key findings at the event, including lithium metal batteries, silicon anodes, and much more.

Daejoo Electronic Materials (Daejoo) are a South Korean materials manufacturer (phosphor, conductive paste, polymer, silicon) and are currently one of the key global suppliers of silicon anode (SiOx) materials for Li-ion batteries.

Sensor technology comes in many shapes and sizes, designed to measure a wide range of metrics for a host of different applications. There are sensors to collect data from almost all physical parameters: motion, magnetic field, current, temperature, force-light intensity - the list goes on. These miniaturized components are everywhere, from our smart-phones and home appliances to within cars, factories, and satellites.

Hydrogen engines offer a fundamentally different approach to decarbonizing transport. IDTechEx Technology Analyst Mika Takahashi explains more about the technology in this short video.

This premium article discusses the applications of GaN in electric vehicle (EV) power electronics.

Electric light commercial vehicles (eLCVs) now make up nearly 5% of the global light commercial vehicle (LCV) market - but an overwhelming majority of these have been battery-electric (BEV). With hydrogen fuel cell vehicles yet to impact in this segment of commercial vehicles, the question has to be asked whether they will ever have a place in the future of LCVs.
