In 2013, the average CO₂emissions from new cars (as
measured by the official test)
were 127g/km
In 2013, Renault displaced
Fiat as the manufacturer of
the lowest carbon, most fuel
efficient vehicles
Only 6 major brands have
not achieved the required
2015 target level: GM,
Honda, Hyundai, Mazda,
Nissan and Suzuki
No major manufacturers
failed to achieve their 2013
target
The 95g/km 2021 target will
be more challenging for
carmakers

ICE Only w/o stop/start; Mico-Hybrid 12V stop/start, limited recuperation; Mild Hybrid 12V+48V up to 20 kW, stop/start, recuperation, boost and limited e-drive
Source: FEV research, * based on LMC data for total market sales forecast and FEV market share estimates
Remarks
FEV market expectation forecasts are
based on CO2 fleet emission requirements
(95 g/km in 2020; 78 g/km in 2025),
technology availability and cost/benefit
assessments
FEV expects that by 2020 in Europe
nearly no new car will be sold without any
electrification/hybrid features
Micro hybrids will dominate the market
over the entire forecast horizon, with sales
plateauing between 2019 and 2023
Around 3 mn* vehicles sold in Europe in
2020 will feature a higher electrification
degree - HEV, PHEV or EV - rising to over
7 mn* by 2025
Mild hybrids are expected to gain traction
from ~2018 onwards, but will not rise
strongly up to 2025HEV

Price differences between PHEV
and EV cells will remain but
become smaller
Cell price below 200 €/kWh
seems possible beyond 2020
Tesla announcement of $50/kWh
is far below other forecasts
PHEV cells need different cell
chemistry than EV cells.
Therefor energy density will be
lower and price higher

Will the electric vehicle in 2025 be a luxury sedan, a small delivery commercial vehicle or an ultra light-weight two seater?
Charging infrastructure and driving range due to battery capacity will limit the introduction of pure electric vehicles
City cars and vehicle fleets for car-sharing or parcel services seems to be the most realistic application
Range Extender for BEVs will only be optional for special applications and some markets/regions
PHEVs or Fuel Cell Vehicles will be the long term solution for long distance driving
Trends on Battery Electric Vehicles
FEV expect a majority of A-segment city cars and small delivery trucks with
a range of 300 – 400 km in the segment of electric vehicles in 2025

Trends on PlugIn Hybrid Vehicles
Chinese government forces introduction of EVs and PHEVs with more than 50 km
range due to pollutant emissions in mega-cities. Increase of range to more than 70 km
is expected for the next years
Most important challenges for introduction are costs and package constrains
To provide adequate driving performance an electric power of more than 50 kW up to
100 kW are necessary
Integration of high power e-motor into P2 topology requires highly integrated
transmission solution or clever hybrid module, like FEV ePGS
Increase of PHEV sales volume is essential to achieve 2025 CO2-limits in
Europe for nearly all OEMs

Trends on PlugIn Hybrid Vehicles
Inductive charging will become a standard into the next decade. Major OEMs are
working on solutions. VW, BMW and Daimler published to offer systems until 2017/2018.
New EV and PHEV platforms have to consider wireless charging
Park assist systems should be able to provide accurate positioning on top of
transmitter
Active damping system is able to reduce distance and increase efficiency
Wireless charging is under investigation by several OEMs and will provide
higher comfort and acceptability of premium EVs and PHEVs

Degree of powertrain electrification will increase worldwide due to more stringent CO2-
limits and pollutant emissions as well as
Market share of EVs will increase up to 7% in Europe up to 2025 due to improvements
of batteries in terms of energy density and cost reduction. Infrastructure and battery
cost and weight will still limit the driving range of EV and restrict use on smaller city-
vehicles and fleets.
Plug-In hybrids are the key to achieve the CO2-targets for Europe and fulfill Chinese
government requirements. Battery improvement helps to reduce cost, but customer
acceptance will be the challenge. Additional performance increase with high power e-
machines and wireless charging may contribute to customer satisfaction.
Mild Hybrids based on 48 V will come into the market in the next years starting from
