In the summer of 2009, leading professionals from industry, government, and academia gathered for a free- spirited debate on the future trends of microelectronics. This volume represents the summary of their valuable contributions. Providing a cohesive exploration and holistic vision of semiconductor microelectronics, this text answers such questions as: What is the future beyond shrinking silicon devices and the field-effect transistor principle? Are there green pastures beyond the traditional semiconductor technologies? This resource also identifies the direction the field is taking, enabling microelectronics professionals and students to conduct research in an informed, profitable, and forward-looking fashion.

PikeResearch: Hybrid Electric Vehicles for Fleet Markets

Release Date: 3Q 2010; Pages: 75; Tables, Charts, Figures:71 http://www.pikeresearch.com/research/hybrid-electric-vehicles-for-fleet-markets

Pike Research anticipates that the fleet market for hybrid electric passenger cars and light duty trucks is ex- pected to grow at a rate of 18% between 2010 and 2015, resulting in sales of more than 740,000 hybrid fleet vehicles worldwide in 2015. Hybrids will account for 3.7% of global light duty vehicle fleet sales in 2015, while the largest single market, the United States, will see hybrids reach 7.4% of light duty vehicle fleet sales. This Pike Research report analyzes the opportunities and challenges for light-duty HEVs, PHEVs, and BEVs in commercial fleet markets around the world. The study examines global growth drivers and business case considerations for fleet managers, and includes detailed market forecasts, segmented by world regions and key countries, as well as profiles for key industry players.
