CATL Pushes Forward With All-Solid-State EV Batteries

Guy Youngs

The world’s largest EV battery maker is advancing a new type of battery, which promises higher energy density. According to a new local report, CATL is investing heavily while ramping up its workforce to bring all-solid-state EV batteries to market.

The company’s solution has an energy density of up to 500 Wh/kg for lithium ternary batteries, 40% more than current batteries. However, the report said charging speed and cycle life are not quite where they need to be

PSR Analysis: With trial production reportedly kicking off, we could see CATL launch all-solid-state EV batteries soon. The benefits of solid state batteries (higher energy density leading to longer range, rapid charging, safety and lower weight) are well known.   PSR

Outboard Engine Market Forecast: USD 19 Billion  

Michael Aistrup
GLOBAL REPORT

The global outboard engines market size was $10.58B in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $19.13B by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 5.53% from 2024 to 2034, according to Power Systems Research (PSR).

Source: Power Systems Research

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 AG Sues Truck Makers Over CARB

Chris Fisher
NORTH AMERICA REPORT
Chris Fisher
Chris Fisher

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.

VW and Suspensys Develop Hybrid Concept Truck

Fabio Ferraresi

Fabio Ferraresi

Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus, in collaboration with Suspensys, has unveiled the VW Meteor Hybrid, Brazil’s first hybrid concept truck. This vehicle features a diesel engine combined with an electric auxiliary axle developed by Suspensys, enabling intelligent traction management that optimizes performance, reduces travel time, and enhances fuel efficiency.

The intelligent traction system allows the third axle to become driven, transforming the truck into a 6×4 configuration when necessary. This provides additional torque for uphill climbs and improved starting power when towing a loaded trailer. Preliminary studies suggest that this setup can decrease travel time due to the extra power.

Additionally, the regenerative system recovers energy during deceleration and in areas with elevation changes, enhancing efficiency and battery storage. The extent of increased autonomy depends on the operation and route. Initial tests estimate that the Meteor Hybrid concept can reduce diesel consumption by up to 10%, depending on the operation’s topography. This directly impacts CO₂ emissions, potentially avoiding over 25 tons annually.

PSR Analysis. This concept aligns with Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus’s strategy for decarbonization, as it can operate solely on the diesel engine during long trips without the need for charging infrastructure. This flexibility is particularly useful for routes lacking charging stations, increasing the operational versatility of the hybrid model.  PSR

Thai Government To Ease Some EV Production Quotas

Akihiro Komuro

The Thai government says it will relax the requirement for EV manufacturers receiving subsidies to produce a certain number of vehicles by 2024. There had been calls for a revision from Chinese manufacturers and others. This is in response to poor market conditions for EVs.

The Board of Investment (BOI) of Thailand provides subsidies to manufacturers that can be applied to the purchase of EVs. The subsidy amount is up to about US$ 3,000 (100,000 baht or about 440,000 yen) per vehicle, which is about 10% of the purchase price of a medium-sized SUV.

In December, FAW Jiefang began production on its first hydrogen engine in Dalian, Liaoning Province, marking a key step for it in the field of green intelligent transportation.

The project is expected to have a total investment of US$84.41 million (614 million yuan), building medium-sized engines ranging from 5 to 7 liters, heavy-duty hydrogen engines, and production lines. The CA6HV3 production line is the world’s first hydrogen engine production line; it will help FAW Jiefang build a more complete powertrain product line. It is reported that the CA6HV3 hydrogen engine, independently developed by FAW Jiefang, is the first domestic heavy-duty commercial vehicle direct-injection hydrogen engine in China. It leads the country in thermal efficiency and product reliability and achieves zero carbon emissions.

Tractor Industry Sees H2 2024 Revival

Aditya Kondejkar
INDIA REPORT
Aditya Kondejkar

The Indian tractor industry, which faced a stagnant first half of the fiscal year, is pinning its hopes on a robust second-half performance. With favorable developments like healthy reservoir levels, improved minimum support prices (MSPs), and a positive outlook on the Rabi crop, manufacturers are optimistic about achieving double-digit growth by the year-end.

H1 Performance: A Mixed Bag
In the first half of the fiscal year, tractor sales remained flat, growing marginally to 472,000 units from 469,000 units in the same period last year. The industry’s decline in FY2024 to 876,000 units, following a record-breaking FY23 at 945,000 units, underscores the impact of a high base effect, weak precipitation, and uneven monsoons. A shift in the festive calendar, with Diwali and Dhanteras occurring later this year, also affected demand in the early months.

2024 NA UTV Production

Carol Turner

415,900 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Utility Vehicles (UTVs) expected to be produced in North America in 2024.

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
