Topic Discussed : Light Vehicle Leasing Market in Croatia, Forecast to 2022

Speaker: Gopi Sukumar

Key Takeaways:

The Croatian fleet & leasing market is currently facing headwinds. Only a handful of leasing companies managed to survive years of economic downturn. As the market recovers, they must focus on customer service and explore opportunities in niche services to gain better financial position.New opportunities have arisen as a result of Croatia becoming a member country of the EU in 2013.There are over 152,000 SMEs that accounted for 99.7% of the companies in Croatia. As young companies increasingly prefer to channel their funds towards their core business activities and lease their fleet, SME segment offers huge potential in the long term

Topic Discussed : Global Medium-Heavy Commercial Vehicle Market Outlook, 2019

Speaker: Silpa Paul

Key Takeaways:

1. This research provides an outlook of the global medium-heavy truck market for the year 2019. The study also provides a review of the year 2018 which just passed by. The study examines the truck sales growth in 2018 and 2019 across regions and also provides projections for 2019. 
2. Some of the key technologies examined in the study are electric powertrain, Natural gas powertrain, autonomous driving, connected devices and digital services as these technologies received great interest (and investor dollars) in 2018. 
3. An example of the type of insights offered by the study is as follows- although battery electric powertrains receive great attention in trade shows and new channels, natural gas (NG) is a quietly growing alternative powertrain option especially in Europe and China where there is great regulatory pressure to cut emissions. Even in North America, roll out of California air resource board's (CARB) ultra-low NOx regulations will propel NG adoption in MD-HD trucks since current diesel engines cannot meet the proposed NOx limits.
4. It covers sales forecasts for 2019 and trends into 2025 across- North America, South America, Europe, China, India, Russia, Next 11 and rest-of-the-world

Topic Discussed : The Philippines EV Market, Forecast to 2022

Speakers : Paulo Mutuc

Key Takeaways:

Approximately 15,000 EVs—mostly e-bikes—are in use in The Philippines as of 2017. There is no overall policy framework yet for promoting and regulating EVs, although basic safety standards have been adopted and some incentives for EVs are in place (e.g. excise tax exemption). Most of the local EV industry is made of e-bike importers and e-tricycle assemblers. Charging infrastructure is concentrated in Metro Manila, where 12 of the 20 charging stations are located. By 2022, about 38,000 EVs will be in use in The Philippines. Growth will be driven by the continued need for jeepneys and tricycles in public transport; EV adoption in pilot routes under the PUV Modernization Program; as well as the resolution of EV registration issues and the introduction of some incentives for domestic assembly of electric jeepneys and tricycles

Topic Discussed : Global Powertrain Outlook, 2019

Speakers : Arvind Noel Xavier Leo

Key Takeaways:

• Diesel Engine Share Fell by 8% in Europe

The shares of diesel engines stood at 36.4% in Europe - down from 44.3% in 2017 - impacted by anti-diesel sentiment, a faster drift towards e-mobility, and the expansion of gasoline hybrid powertrains. As WLTP testing and urban restriction coming in for diesel engines it is expected that the diesel share in Europe will decline to 30-32% in 2019, whereas SCR and heated catalysts will be implemented on diesel engines to comply with regulations.  

• Upcoming WLTP Regulations, SCR and GPF

Final package of WLTP was finalized and has failed to be implemented from September 2018, but OEMs have begun dual testing, whereas ICE engines will require SCR/GPF to comply. OEMs will adopt standardized technical services to test and issue test results that will be monitored by regulatory authorities. This will result in reduced emissions for newly launched vehicles and also will create awareness among consumers. 

• VW’s E-Mobility U-Turn 

In a shift from diesel, VW will be among the first OEMs to introduce a mainstream EV, with a range of up to 373 miles followed by Daimler, BMW and Renault Nissan.

• EVs Booming in Europe and China, FHEVs in Japan 

Of the 325,925 BEVs and PHEVs were sold in Europe—second only to China (980,000 units).

• Unconventional Engines, Advanced Powertrain Technologies

Automakers are meeting with success on advanced powertrain technologies such as variable compression ratio, GDi Engines, heated catalytic converter, Outlook-Gasoline Spark Controlled Compression Ignition and integrated SCR system.
