Abstract
The interest in commercial PEVs, HEVs and FCVs is driven by fuel costs,
efforts to improve energy security, concerns about both toxic and greenhouse
emissions and an associated range of incentives that are now in place at
national and local government levels. However, the barriers to mass-market
uptake are numerous and significant.
The market for hybrid commercial vehicles is showing signs of becoming
established but those for pure electric and fuel cell-powered commercial
vehicles are essentially still at an experimental stage and are attracting
only the very earliest of adopters.
Nevertheless, there are now many commercial PEVs, HEVs, PHEVs and FCVs
available in the market and the intense levels of research, development and
investment in enabling technology and new vehicle production will no doubt
result in many more during the next few years.
