Description
Those selling components for electric vehicles and those wishing to make the
vehicles themselves must seek where the majority of the money is spent and
will be spent. That must lead them to industrial and commercial electric
vehicles because today these represent 60% of the value of the electric
vehicle market. Indeed, this sector is set to grow 4.2 times in the next
decade. Industrial and commercial electric vehicles include heavy industrial
vehicles, the term referring to heavy lifting, as with forklifts.
Then we have buses, trucks, taxis and the other light industrial and
commercial vehicles. There are also a few work boats and commercial boats and
one day there will be commercial electric aircraft but this is really a story
about the burgeoning demand for off-road industrial vehicles and on-road
commercial vehicles. In particular, industrial electric vehicles make industry
more efficient and commercial electric vehicles reduce congestion. Both of
them greatly reduce pollution and align closely with government objectives
concerning industry and the environment, yet they minimally depend on subsidy,
in contrast with some other electric vehicle types.
This report covers the technical and market trends for industrial and
commercial vehicles whether hybrid or pure electric, putting it in the context
of electric vehicles overall and including the activities of a host of
manufacturers of the vehicles and their components and even providing future
technological development roadmaps.
The market for electric industrial vehicles is already large because, by law,
forklifts have to be electric when used indoors. Little growth remains in this
market but outdoors almost all earthmoving and lifting vehicles use the
conventional internal combustion engine. That is about to change dramatically
because hybrid electric versions reduce cost of ownership and exposure to
price hikes with fossil fuels. Hybrids increasingly perform better as well,
with more power from stationary, ability to supply electricity to other
equipment and other benefits including less noise and pollution. On the other
hand, airports, often government owned or funded, are under great pressure to
finish converting their Ground Support Equipment GSE to pure electric versions
both on and off the tarmac partly using federal grants.
Yet another industrial trend is for use of electric vehicles to replace slow
and often dangerous manual procedures. Sometimes a self-powered indoor crane
replaces scaffolding. An electric stair climber replaces human effort and
possible injury. On the other hand, sit-on floor cleaners in buildings, sit-on
ice cleaners in ice rinks, outrider vehicles carried on trash collection
trucks and a host of similar solutions speed processes and reduce injuries and
costs.
Buses, trucks, taxis and the other light industrial and commercial vehicles
are going electric for similar reasons but we must add the desire of national
and local governments, who buy many of them, to go green, even where there is
no payback. However, the size and growth of the industrial and commercial
sector is less dependent on government funding and tax breaks than the more
fragile market for electric cars, particularly pure electric ones. Excitingly,
most of the electric vehicle technologies are changing and improving hugely
and innovation often comes here before it is seen in the more publicised
electric vehicle sectors such as cars.
Asynchronous traction motors were first widely used on forklifts: their
benefits of longer life, less maintenance, low cost and freedom from magnet
price hikes and heating problems are only later being seen in a few cars.
Ultracapacitors otherwise known as supercapacitors permit very fast charging
of buses whether by the new Level 3 charging stations or regenerative braking
and they release huge surges of power when the bus is full and starting on a
hill. Gas turbine range extenders have been on some buses for 12 years but
they are only now being planned for cars. Fuel cells will be viable in fleets
where the expensive hydrogen distribution is manageable - not for cars across
the world. Energy harvesting shock absorbers about to hit the market will be
very viable on buses and trucks where they can put up to 12 kW into the
battery whereas such devices on cars will take longer to prove.
Nevertheless, it is important to look at industrial and commercial electric
vehicles as part of all electric vehicles out there - as we do - because it is
increasingly true that one company will produce EVs for many end uses and even
make key components. This achieves the product reliability and cost advantages
that come from highest volume manufacture based on standardisation and shared
research.
Main areas the report covers
The report provides forecasts of the heavy industrial, light industrial &
commercial, bus and taxi global markets by numbers, ex-factory price and total
market value for the coming decade. In addition to chapters on these sectors,
there are chapters on the market drivers, the key technologies and their
future trends all pulled together with summary charts, graphs and profiles of
latest company activity.
Who should buy this report?
Those developing or making electric vehicles of all types. Those purchasing
industrial and commercial electric vehicles. Other interested parties such as
service providers, technology researchers, investors and government
legislators and supports of the industry.
Forecasts
Industrial and commercial electric vehicles represent 60% of the value of the
electric vehicle market today and their market value will grow 4.2 times in
the next decade. The report gives ten year forecasts by sector, explaining
exactly why some sub sectors will see stellar growth and others will see very
little growth.

預計今後10年產業用•商業用電動運輸機器市場將成長為4.2倍規模
2011年10月24日
Global Information, Inc.已開始銷售IDTechEx Ltd.所發行的報告書「Industrial and Commercial Electric Vehicles 2012-2022 (產業用及商業用電動運輸機器（EV）市場：2012∼2022年)」
產業用及商業用電動運輸機器(EV)的銷售額，現在佔EV市場全部的60％，一般認為今後10年市場規模將擴大4.2倍。此領域包含鏟車等重工業的運輸機器和巴士、卡車、出租車及其他輕工業•商業用運輸機器。而且需求迅速擴大的是越野產業用車輛和公路商業用車輛。
產業用電動運輸機器已經作成大規模的市場。例如，如果在室內使用鏟車，則有必要換成電動操作。在室內用的產業用電動運輸機器市場，幾乎沒有成長的空間，然在土木用及吊車運輸機器的室外部門尚有市場機會。因為這些全部裝載以往的內燃引擎。隨著礦物燃料價格的高漲，混合電動車輛的維持費相對下降。而且，混合的性能越發提高。基於可更穩定供給電力、控制噪音和環境污染、故能將電力供給其他裝置。機場幾乎都是政府所有或提供資金，故有將舖道上或外邊使用的全部地上支援裝置(GSE)完全轉換為電動式的壓力。有時也會部分利用政府的補助金。
將產業用及商業用電動運輸機器作為整個電動運輸機器市場的部分是很重要的。因為面對多樣化的終端用戶，一家公司就有可能壟斷生產電動車輛、甚至是主要零件。產品的可靠性及費用的優位性，乃基於標準化及共同研究之量產帶來的結果。
