'Global Automotive Battery Technologies for HEV & BEV Will Achieve Sales of 2.16 Million Units in 2013' Says Visiongain Report

LONDON, April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Visiongain's analysis indicates that the global automotive battery technologies market for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) batteries and battery electric vehicles (BEV) batteries will achieve sales of 2.16 million units in 2013, as vehicle manufacturers as well as consumers increasingly demand fuel-efficient vehicles. The battery technologies market is therefore forecast by Visiongain to record significant growth over the next decade, as more hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) vehicles are sold which rely on these batteries.

The visiongain author of the Global Automotive Battery Technologies Market 2013-2023: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) & Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) report commented that 'The current rise of oil prices and the resulting high running costs of cars as well as environmental concerns have put a stronger focus on efficiency. Since increasing fuel efficiency is one of the principal car purchasing decisions, replacing a petrol or diesel fuelled car with a hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) or battery electric vehicles (BEV) vehicle is an option that more and more consumers will take. The increasing choice of models of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) or battery electric vehicles (BEV) is making consumers more aware of the benefits of these vehicles which in turn drives sales of the batteries that they rely on.'
