Hybrid and Electric Vehicles: Current Production, Future Strategies Webinar
I.D. # C0906 Duration 2 Hours
Hybrids, and to a lesser extent, electric vehicles, have been on the road since 1997. Although just two hybrids were on the market in 2001, there are more than a dozen today, and the market is ramping up quickly, driven by fuel prices and constraints, environmental regulations, and customer demand. The commercial vehicle market is also rapidly embracing hybrid technology. This two-hour webinar will highlight the passenger, light-duty, and heavy-duty hybrid and electric vehicles that are currently in production, offered for sale, or planned for near-term production. Asian, European, and North American manufacturers of hybrid and electric vehicles will be reviewed. Tier 1 suppliers of major hybrid and electric vehicle components will be covered as well.
Learning Objectives
By connecting with this webinar, you will be able to:
  • List the hybrid and electric vehicles that have been commercialized from 1997 to present
  • Identify passenger, light-duty, and heavy-duty hybrid-electric vehicles that are on the market
  • Explain the major resource and regulatory drivers of hybrid and electric vehicle development
