Summary. The outboard engines market produces, sells, and distributes outboard motors. These engines are independent propulsion units positioned externally on a boat’s transom instead of being integrated within the hull. These engines, which are used to power a variety of watercraft, such as boats, dinghies, pontoons, and fishing vessels, usually consist of a powerhead, gearbox, and propeller.
Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers has filed an antitrust lawsuit against some of the nation’s largest heavy-duty truck manufacturers alleging a plot to stifle the availability of internal-combustion semi-trucks in favor of electric ones.
In the lawsuit filed Nov. 19, Hilgers said California and the California Air Resources Board have “recently embarked on a mission to eliminate the [internal combustion engine] vehicle and mandate the electrification of our nation’s vehicle fleet.”
While other lawsuits have been filed against California and CARB attempting to halt or slow down the regulations, including one led by Hilgers to block CARB’s Advanced Clean Fleets regulation, Hilgers’ new lawsuit targets manufacturers themselves, including Daimler Truck North America (DTNA), International Motors, Paccar, Volvo Group North America, and the Truck & Engine Manufacturers Association.
4-Wheeled ATV is short term for All Terrain Vehicle. It commonly has 4 wheels and is designed to be driven off road. It seats one person, or sometimes two, one in front of the other.
Product: Industrial Utility Vehicles These four-wheel gas, electric and diesel vehicles are used for a wide variety of applications such as moving people, equipment and supplies around a college campus, landscaping job or construction site. Most brands are zero-emission, high-performance, affordable, and low maintenance vehicles.
Product: Personnel Carriers These low speed, low cost passenger carts are perfect for shuttling people and cargo. These vehicles can comfortably and smoothly transport up to six people and their belongings. Standard features include headlights, brake lights, and taillights. The carriers are used on golf courses, in neighborhoods, on campuses, at airports and in industrial parks.
Turf Utility Vehicles are specifically designed to meet the needs of sporting facilities such as golf courses and stadiums. They are commonly used for landscaping, heavy loading, dumping and transporting people or light material. Suppliers offer a wide variety of gas, electric or diesel utility vehicles. Vehicles can be customized with enclosed cabs, tool racks, dumpers and more for use on college campuses, parks, corporate campuses, apartment complexes.
This product information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers. PSR

The Personal Watercraft/Jet-ski Market size was valued at USD 2.544 billion in 2023, according to Power Systems Research, and is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.44% between 2024 and 2032.
Market Trends. Manufacturers are investing in developing PWCs made of environmentally friendly materials and e-powered personal watercraft that are cleaner and more efficient.
The Trucking Association of New York (TANY), along with Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo and other state transportation stakeholders, called on legislators to reconsider implementation of California Air Resources Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulations set to take effect in the state just more than two months from now.
Donald Trump has always pushed for more oil drilling and fewer regulations, left the Paris Agreement in his first term as president, says he hates “windmills,” has promised to scrap offshore wind on “day one” if he won the 2024 election, and calls climate change a “scam.”
And now that he’s won, this is a direct threat to the US’s pledge to reach net zero by 2050. After all, federal policy directly impacts the pace of renewable energy growth, especially when it comes to incentives and research funding
Donald Trump will push fossil fuels and undo renewable energy policies, but it ultimately won’t stop clean energy’s momentum
PSR Analysis: The clean energy market isn’t solely driven by US federal policy. Over the last decade, solar, wind, and EVs have become more cost-competitive and popular. State policies play a huge role too, and many states are committed to their own clean energy goals regardless of who sits in the White House. Only time will tell the true impact of Trump’s victory.

Super materials trailblazer Lyten will invest over $1 billion to build the world’s first lithium-sulfur battery gigafactory in Reno, Nevada. The factory will be capable of producing up to 10 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of batteries annually once it’s fully online. Phase 1 is set to go live in 2027.
Lyten’s gigafactory will cover 1.25 million square feet on a 125-acre campus in the Reno Air Logistics Park. Initially, it will employ around 200 people, eventually expanding to more than 1,000 jobs
PSR Analysis: Lithium-sulfur batteries are considerably lighter than lithium-ion batteries and use materials that are more abundant, so they should have a lower cost than Lithium ion batteries and their widespread use could reduce the pressure on lithium supplies. However, they are less stable and have a shorter lifespan, so unless Lyten has resolved these issue, this approach could backfire. PSR
The push to commercialize solid-state batteries is underway with industries from automotive to storage betting on the technology. But while the technology has been taking longer than expected to take off, semi-solid-state batteries, which use a hybrid design of solid and liquid electrolyte, have been making steady progress toward commercialization.
The latest findings from Taipei-based intelligence provider TrendForce show that all-solid-state battery production volumes could have GWh levels by 2027. This rapid expansion could lead to cell price declines, reaching the $84-$98 level by 2035.
PSR Analysis: The benefits of solid state batteries (higher energy density leading to longer range, rapid charging, safety and lower weigh) are well known. If the costs can come down because of mass production, then this will become a significant game changer. PSR
Nevada Gets World’s First Lithium-Sulfur Battery Gigafactory
In 2008, batteries cost $1,355 per kilowatt-hour, and the goal of an $80/kWh EV battery seemed ridiculous. But today the cost of EV batteries is dropping within shouting distance of that $80 goal, pulling the total cost of EV ownership down with it.
The total cost of EV ownership over time, including fuel and maintenance, has been close to, or at parity with, comparable gas automobiles for many years. The deciding factors for specific vehicles vary, but drivers in the US are owning their cars for longer periods — they hit a record average of 12.5 years in 2023 — so that long-term fuel and maintenance savings advantage for EVs can tip the balance.
The November 2024 issue of the Alternative Power Report published by Power Systems Research includes articles on battery development and discussions on the declining costs of battery power for EVs. Reduced battery costs means reduced costs for EVs, too. An article discusses the outlook for clean energy in the U.S. now that Trump has regained the White House. PSR
