Electric vehicles

Robotaxis are nothing more than repurposed autonomous cars used for ride-hailing. Robot shuttles are the opposite - a totally new form of transport.

Thursday 10 June 2021 - "Li-ion for Electric Vehicles - Technology Developments and Batteries Beyond Cars". The webinar will introduce recent developments and investments into Li-ion for EVs; Li-ion technology developments and timelines; EV markets beyond cars; and Trends in Li-ion batteries for different EV segments.

"Autonomous cars will be here in 2 years" has been a standard sentence from the industry for the past 5 years or so. Now there is good reason to expect autonomous ride-hailing services to hit our roads within 3 years. So, what has happened in the last year in the world of autonomy to give this confidence boost?

IDTechEx spoke to Chris Goodsell from Australian radio show 'Road Ramblings' about the latest electric vehicles news.

Drone companies typically fall into one of two categories: Fixed-wing or Rotary drones. These drones typically also have different use cases.

Thursday 27 May 2021 - In this webinar Dr Matthew Dyson, a Technology Analyst at IDTechEx specializing in printed/flexible electronics, will discuss a wide range of emerging applications for printed/flexible electronics technologies within the automotive sector, along with a forecast adoption timeline.

Thursday 20 May 2021 - This webinar will take from IDTechEx's latest research on Thermal Interface Materials to address these emerging markets in EV and 5G and discuss how the TIM properties and demands will change with them. The webinar will also cover developments in TIMs for data centers, LEDs and consumer electronics with industry use-cases.

There are several industries that are starting to emerge and/or focus more on thermal management and the requirement for TIMs, leading to new and extremely large potential markets.

In this IDTechEx roundtable, Daniele Gatti, David Wyatt and Luke Gear discuss the role of hydrogen in the automotive and industrial sectors. The advantages and drawbacks of the two applications are explained, addressing the future position of blue and green hydrogen, and the role of the infrastructure.

The replacement of aircraft makers will be brutal - no not Airbus and Boeing, the other big names, starting with those making light aircraft, then those making regional aircraft. Stuck in the past, these cannot make what is now needed.
