Toyota Motor Corporation

Toyota Motor Corporation is the world’s largest automobile manufacturer (Sales-2010). Its most famous marquees are Toyota, Lexus and Scion. The Japan-based company became the world’s largest automotive company in 2008 and is continuing its leadership position since then. The company is recovering from the Japan crisis and expects to be back to 100 percent -level of production by November this year. Its most famous cars are Camry, Prius, City and the recently unveiled Etios in the Asian market. The company is known for manufacturing fuel-efficient cars through its efficient manufacturing techniques and also for its focussed segmentation and positioning in the countries in which it operates throughout the world.

In 2010, the company derived xx percent of its revenues from Asia and xx percent from North America (NA). It is estimated that the percent of sales is likely to be approximately constant over the years 2011-2018.The company market share in the NA market increased from x percent in 2000 to xx percent in 2010. The company produces nearly xx percent of its total output in Asia. As the Asian region contributes 55 percent of the total sales volumes, the remaining production is exported to cater to NA and other markets. This exposes Toyota to currency risk.

China Automotive Steering System Industry Report, 2011-2012

With the continuous advancement of steering technologies, power steering system has gradually become the standard configuration of automobiles. In China, the automotive power steering systems include electric power system, mechanical hydraulic power system, and electro-hydraulic power system. In 2011, mechanical hydraulic system still took a leading position with 56.6% market share in China automotive steering system industry, while electric power system accounted for 24.8% and electro-hydraulic power system 10.5%, higher than those in 2010.

In the future, the installation rate of electric power steering system will keep rising, and it is expected to be more than 40% in Chinese automobile industry in 2015 and even higher in the passenger car market by then.

In Chinese electric power steering system market, foreign companies or joint ventures sweep over 90% market share; however, Chinese local companies share less than 10%. Japan-based JTEKT, German-based ZF, Japan-based NSK, US-based TRW and other steering system vendors have launched electric power steering systems, and set up production bases in China to meet the huge market demand there.

JTEKT is the world’s largest supplier of automotive steering systems. By February 2012, it has owned seven steering system production bases in China, of which 4 ones are engaged in the production of electric power steering systems.

In China, there are some local enterprises with the annual capacity of one million units, such as ELITE and Yubei. ELITE developed the first electric power steering system with independent intellectual property in China in 2001. It has two electric power steering assembly lines annually producing one million units, and it cooperates with China FAW, Changan, Dongfeng, etc.

Marine Electric Vehicles 2012-2022

Those making electric vehicles or their components seek to expand their business. To do this, they need to look beyond the oversupplied on-road sector. Marine electric vehicles are interesting as a market that is more profitable and often more open to innovation. However, until now, there has been no report assessing this substantial market sector. No longer. This is the world's first comprehensive report on marine electric vehicles with latest ten year forecasts and important new projects such as submarines that will fly.

The rapidly growing $2.3 billion market for marine electric vehicles is unusually varied. It includes on-water and underwater electric vehicles for inland waterways and the sea. Military electric craft dominate in market value today, despite the fact that IDTechEx excludes electrically propelled ordnance, such as torpedoes, and tethered vehicles from this report. Civil marine electric vehicles will constitute the largest marine electric vehicle market by value.

Certain marine electric craft are ahead of land and air electric vehicles in variously using lithium-ion traction batteries with greatest energy storage, the latest CIGS flexible solar cells (predecessor of multilayer smart skin explained in the text) and in being deployed for years at a time without human intervention. For example, only boats carry up to 150 people on solar power alone. Only seagoing "glider" Autonomous Underwater Vehicles AUVs are deployed for years without human intervention, coming to the surface when necessary to harvest electric power from both waves and sun.

On the other hand, the report shows where designers of electric marine craft can learn from non-marine vehicles that are ahead in certain other respects. Examples include use of third generation battery technologies in electric aircraft and gas turbine range extenders in leading buses and supercars. Then there is the harvesting of the heat of the conventional engine in a hybrid car to produce electricity - expected soon. There needs to be much more benchmarking of best practice between electric vehicle sectors and the IDTechEx reports on electric vehicles by type - of which the marine report is the latest - assist in this process.

This report covers hybrid and pure electric marine vehicles: it encompasses the extreme variety from a $50 pure electric sea scooter for a scooba diver to many $25 million hybrid super yachts and pure electric $5 million AUVs, tourist submarines etc., some with fuel cells. IDTechEx shows how the most popular seagoing enclosed leisure yachts are going hybrid this year for competitive advantage. By contrast, IDTechEx observes that it is new laws from Taiwan to Europe that are making electric boats the norm on inland waterways, even for water skiing. Learn how electric robot surface craft gather oil slicks while new electric tugboats outperform traditional ones and have new laws to encourage their adoption. Technology choices, trends and future breakthroughs are fully analysed

The information is distilled into 19 easy to read tables and 109 figures in this new 181 page report. For example, one table gives 82 manufacturers of marine electric vehicles by country and type of craft and many component suppliers are surveyed. Non military marine forecasting categories are scuba sea scooters, leisure and tourist surface boats, AUVs, personal and tourist submarines, work boats. Military marine EVs are forecasted separately. Market data for these marine electric vehicles are compared with data for all electric vehicles to put the results in context.
