Pike forecasts NEV market to remain small, although with double the growth rate of light-duty vehicles to 2017

While moderate in terms of volume, the growth rate for NEVs will double that of the light-duty vehicle market during the same period, Pike notes. In Europe, NEVs are categorized as a quadricycle, but are limited to a 4 kW motor for light NEVs or 15 kW for heavier quadricycles. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%

The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (“JLTV”) is targeted to replace a portion of the Army and Marine Corps’ Humvee fleets, and Lockheed Martin, AM General, and Oshkosh Defense are vying for the production contract. The 12V version can be used in either military or in commercial starting/deep cycle applications.

Start-stop systems stop the combustion engine when the vehicle comes to a halt at a red light or in a traffic jam, starting it again automatically when the clutch is depressed and the vehicle is put back into gear. The system is rounded off by a crankshaft sensor, sensors on the pedals, and a deep-cycle resistant battery.

Another quirk is that if you leave the turn signal on after removing the ignition key, your tail light on that side stays on. I've left my turn signal on before, but the combination of the LED tail-lights and the deep-cycle accessory battery kept the car alive. Well, today my 12V battery died.

After contacting Zivan tech support, they said that lead-acid batteries typically get 400 deep cycles or 800 half-cycles at best. If my average trip is 20 miles between charges and I have 8600 miles on the car, that means about 430 half-cycles. It only takes 15 minutes and will save a lot of headaches.

In particular, this report demonstrates the necessity of maintaining the exemption for lead-based batteries within the EU End of Life Vehicle Directive’s wider ban on lead in light-duty vehicles. The EU’s legislative and regulatory framework should guarantee a fair and technology-neutral competition between battery technologies.

Like its competition, Ioxus is interested in transportation applications—mass transit, hybrid-electric, train/light rail, and stop/start applications—sometimes in cooperation with a battery, depending upon the application requirements. The use of the module also prevents the battery from deep cycling, extending the life of the battery.
