Abstract

Implementing industrial policies to develop the new energy vehicle industry and improve technological innovation related to new energy vehicles is essential for countries dealing with environmental pollution and climate change. This paper first examines the impact of a demand-side industry policy related to new energy vehicles on the technological innovation level of supply-side vehicle enterprises. Regarding the new energy vehicle purchase tax exemption policy implemented by the Chinese government in 2014 as a quasi-experiment, this paper constructs a multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) model to identify the impact of the demand-side preferential tax policy on the technological innovation level of vehicle enterprises. In our DID design, 178 enterprises are in the treatment group and 166 enterprises in the control group, with 3,440 balanced panel data of observations. The results show that this policy can significantly promote the technological innovation of new energy vehicle enterprises. This promotion effect is greater in magnitude in large-scale enterprises, high-tech enterprises, and enterprises producing passenger vehicles. Theoretically, we believe that the demand-side tax exemption policy mainly indirectly promotes the technological innovation level of automobile enterprises through the signal channel and profit channel.

Abstract

• The BMW i3 typifies a transformative change-shaping approach to automotive innovation. • The Fiat 500e typifies a conservative sustaining approach. • Fiat and BMW respond to low-carbon policies and selection pressures differently and employ different innovation styles. • Entrepreneurial experimentation and market formation efforts differ by value creating vs. value maintaining. The automotive industry is a critically important stakeholder influencing the sustainability of passenger transport. How traditional car manufacturers respond to carbon reduction and vehicle targets, alongside other selection pressures, can greatly influence the availability and affordability of new innovations such as electric vehicles. In this paper, we explore the automotive innovation styles surrounding two electric vehicles: the BMW i3, and the Fiat 500e. To do so, we tie together ideas from technological innovation systems and corporate product innovation style. Our results illustrate a case of a "compliance car," the Fiat 500e, vs. the first mass production EV by a major German car manufacturer, the BMW i3. BMW adheres to a transformative change-shaping innovation style that attempts to promote in-house learning that can create value. Fiat adheres to a conservative sustaining innovation style that attempts to outsource innovation, promotes limited learning, and focuses on maintaining value. Both styles interestingly result in converging product development patterns over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. Conspicuous diffusion: Theorizing how status drives innovation in electric mobility.

Abstract

• We combine the theories of conspicuous consumption and diffusion of innovation. • We posit that conspicuous diffusion improves weaknesses in each of the theories. • Conspicuous diffusion is then applied to electric vehicle diffusion in the Nordics. • Conspicuous diffusion explains previous failures and successes of electric vehicles. • We conclude with novel implications for electric vehicles and diffusion studies. This paper explores how conceptions of luxury and status affect the manner in which a relatively novel technology—an electric vehicle— diffuses across societies. To do so, it combines Veblen's notion of conspicuous consumption and Roger's diffusion of innovation by proposing a new theoretical variation, which we term "conspicuous diffusion." The paper sketches natural connections between the two theories, namely how conspicuous consumption relates to technological and societal development, and how diffusion of innovation is intrinsically connected to status. In combining these approaches, we hypothesize that the success of an innovation is guided by its adherence to the canons of conspicuousness and conspicuous value, which it loses as the innovation diffuses across the population. To illustrate the explanatory power of conspicuous diffusion, we examine the status of electric vehicles in the Nordic region, based on original data from multiple methods, including expert interviews and focus groups. We find that conspicuous diffusion can explain previous failures and current successes of electric vehicle diffusion patterns. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers, industry, and academia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Due to the intensified promotion by the Government (both by the Ministry for Transport and by the Ministry of Environment), the procurement of electronic buses has gained a new momentum. Even states like Hesse and North-Rhine Westphalia encourage the non-emission drive. In addition to reliability, there is also the range of batteries causing problems, thus many transport companies rely on recharging systems. For different reasons, inductive recharging is not pursued any longer. Hydrogen buses still remain a side issue. Here, subvention (from the EU) also plays a central role. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Technological changes of electric vehicles (EVs) have been taking place along ordered and selective patterns in the potential paradigmatic shift. Together with a network-based method and an empirical study on the technology evolution of EVs, this paper not only proposes a dynamic identification method of technological trajectory, but also describes the process of technology changes in detail. This paper highlights the dynamic nature of technological evolution and improves the accuracy of analyzing the key technological trajectories. In addition, this approach helps to position the development path of an object technology and thus is utilized in designing the R&D strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Currently, the eco-friendly vehicle market is growing continuously. In the automobile industry, various electric vehicle models are being developed, and several technological innovations are being made. Certain limited vehicle types, such as passenger cars, are being converted to electric vehicles; moreover, a variety of small electric vehicles, including smart mobility vehicles, are being developed. The driving motor of an electric vehicle, e.g., a brushless Direct Current motor (BLDC), is one of the key components that determine its driving performance. However, since the recent hike in prices of the rare earth magnets used in BLDCs, the development of induction motor with lower cost and a simple product structure has become essential. Therefore, this study proposes an optimized design for an outer rotor induction motor with high efficiency in the low-speed section for electric vehicles. The motor designed in this study is efficient for speeds less than 1000 rpm, and our experimental results prove that the prototypes can provide up to 84.8% efficiency. This optimized motor is expected to have widespread application in the eco-friendly vehicle market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
