Electric Buses and Taxis 2011-2021 - Latest Market Report

Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Electric Buses and Taxis 2011-2021 to their offering.

This is the world's first report forecasting the market for electric buses and taxis both hybrid and pure electric. It separately forecasts the market in the most important country, China, and it takes a detailed look at technologies present and future with a blunt assessment of reasons for failure and threats for the future, not just the positive aspects. The market for electric buses and taxis will rise 8.7 times from 2011 to 2021, approaching $60 billion not long after that. The buses will be designed exclusively for purpose, though some will have power trains used for trucks as well. The taxis will largely consist of regular cars and people movers with modest adaptation. We explain why, for both, this is the decade of the hybrid but with pure electric versions coming up fast. China will become by far the largest market for both electric buses and electric taxis within the decade. This report looks at the statistics and trends for conventional buses and taxis, the government incentives, paybacks and new technologies with detailed tables and figures to summarise the situation, so the reader can understand the situation with ease. There are no rambling anecdotes or cut and paste of catalog items here - this is all summary, comparison and prediction with numbers, unit values, specifications and a profusion of images.

This uniquely up to date reference book is extremely thorough. Just one of the tables lists 78 hybrid bus manufacturers with country and product image, another lists 53 pure electric bus manufacturers with country and product image and another compares 68 lithium-ion traction battery manufacturers with cathode and anode chemistry and other technical detail and who is using these batteries - naming bus, car and other companies using them, explaining who is winning and why. There is a table comparing eight electric taxi projects with country, image and commentary, including technical detail, and another comparing many fuel cell bus trials. Many of the figures are graphs, bar charts, pie charts, and other analysis to allow you to assess the situation quickly and conveniently.

The market forecasts cover units, unit prices and total market value 2011-2021 backed up by forecasts for the market for all types of bus taken together, each for global and separately China. Taxi number, unit value and market value is similarly forecasted and the whole is put in the context of statistics for past sales and production output by manufacturer and forecasts for the electric vehicle market as a whole. The leading suppliers are identified. Transmission manufacturers are compared using sectioned technical diagrams. There is a glossary of terms and one hour of free consultancy with every purchase will answer any questions you have remaining.

AESAs3 Report - Worldwide & Regional Market Forecasts for Systems, TRMs & AESA - implemented MMICs

Reportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of `AESAs3 Report` to its offering.

Global in scope with Europe, North America and the Rest of the ("West-friendly") World segmentations AESAs3 comprises an extensive and intensive report providing detailed information on the current status and (most importantly) forecast shipments plus RF modules and MMICs market values applying to AESAs. AESAs3 is the heavily updated third-release report in a sequence of reports on this subject (starting in 2007). Major new developments have occurred or are on the visible horizon, necessitating the generation of this major update report.

The one outstanding new development is definitely Northrop Grumman's LEMV (long endurance multi-purpose vehicle) which represents a dramatic development in terms of AESA size. The first prototype LEMV (2014) is planned to have >100,000 TRMs and the final two systems will each have 7M TRMs.

Further important examples of new developments include:

Artisan 3D (Europe), CAEW (Israel), CEAMOUNT(Australia), E-CAPTOR (Europe), EQ-36 (USA) and Kronos 3D (LND and NV - Europe). It should also be observed that changes resulting from defense budgetary pressures (notably in the USA and the UK) are, somewhat ironically often favorable to AESA implementations - especially upgrades onto, for example, earlier aircraft such as F-15s or F-16s.

Active electronically steered arrays (AESAs) are increasingly being implemented into (mainly military) systems currently and there is substantial mileage for important new developments. For some decades the potential advantages have been well known in terms of having a radar beam that could be scanned at orders-of-magnitude faster rates than available mechanically.

In earlier instances the fundamental high-power signal for phased arrays was obtained from a microwave tube source such as a TWT the output of which was separated to feed typically some tens through hundreds of individual antenna elements. The advent of MMICs for both transmit and also for receive functions has transformed the technology and functionality associated with such arrays. Therefore, with this updated report, we are concentrating exclusively on AESAs.

Demand for radars is steadily increasing-both commercial and (especially) military.

The 'War against Terrorism' and the campaigns in both Afghanistan and Iraq have continued to drive upwards electronics requirements in defense and security applications. This applies to airborne, battlefield, naval and (to a limited extent) space-based radars.

In this report we cover in depth a study of the various types of AESAs, their production and developmental status, specific examples of airborne, shipboard/naval, land-based, and spaceboard phased array radars. We also include a study of the components and subsystems used in such arrays and provide competitive assessments of key players in this industry-including the systems integrators and principal consortium members. Major examples are: EADS Defence Electronics (notably Cassidian), Galileo Avionica, INDRA, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Company, Saab Microwave Systems, Selex Galileo-and Thales.

Underlying technology and impacts

Bearing in mind the importance in this segment of RF/microwave amplifiers and signal sources, specifically the modular products providing these functions, appropriate technologies are also considered from time to time in this report. This particularly includes the semiconductors GaAs, GaN (becoming very significant) and SiC and transmit-receive modules (TRMs) implementing MMICs built using selected chip-sets comprising these semiconductor materials.

Examples of references consulted for updated information include, mainly on the supply-side: exhibition-originated data (e.g. IMS/MTT-S 2010), on-going issues of the Microwave Journal, Microwaves & RF and Microwave Product Digest. On the Demand Side magazines such as Aviation Week & Space Technology and Janes Defense Weekly are regularly consulted. Important useful web links include: Military & Aerospace Electronics, Microwave Flash and RF Globalnet. Most importantly, regular contact is maintained with appropriate industry executives the majority of whom are well known to the authors.

The first report on AESAs, including the associated TRMs and MMICs, was released in February 2007. Since that time several important changes have occurred both at the AESA application and platform installation levels and also, critically, at the underlying levels of disruptive product technology. Whilst GaAs MMICs are extensively implemented in today's AESAs, GaN devices will "invade" the markets with a few years and all the AESAs3 reported data fully accounts for this disruptive trend - in detail.

Major changes since the previous report (AESAs2):

Additional AESAs/AESA plans examined in detail within AESAs3:

Artisan 3D (Europe)
CAEW (Israel)
CEAMOUNT (Australia)
E-CAPTOR (Europe)
EQ-36 (USA)
Kronos 3D (LND and NV - Europe)
LEMV (USA - relatively very large arrays).

LEMV (Northrop Grumman - long endurance multi-purpose vehicle) represents a dramatic development in terms of AESA size. The first prototype LEMV (2014) is planned to have >100,000 TRMs and the final two systems will each have 7M TRMs.

Changes resulting from defense budgetary pressures (notably in the USA and the UK but ironically often favourable to AESA implementations - especially upgrades).

Changes resulting from specific new announcements (one outstanding example being that of the Eurofighter Typhoon radar with the E-CAPTOR development).

Much more detail on UVs (specifically the larger UAVs and UCAVs) having current AESA implementations or the potential for such.

Updated pricing (monetary values - internal costs) for T/R modules (TRM) and MMICs.

Advances in the implementation of GaAs and (later) GaN MMICs.
