LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Civil marine electric vehicles will constitute the largest marine electric vehicle market by value, according to a new report on companiesandmarkets.com.
Marine Electric Vehicles 2011-2021
The rapidly growing $2.3 billion marine electric vehicle market is unusually varied. It includes on-water and underwater electric vehicles for inland waterways and the sea. Military electric craft dominate in market value today, despite the fact that we exclude electrically propelled ordnance, such as torpedoes, and tethered vehicles from this report. Civil marine electric vehicles will constitute the largest marine electric vehicle market by value.
Certain marine electric craft are ahead of land and air electric vehicles in variously using lithium-ion traction batteries with greatest energy storage, the latest CIGS flexible solar cells (predecessor of multilayer smart skin explained in the text) and in being deployed for years at a time without human intervention. For example, only boats carry up to 150 people on solar power alone. Only seagoing ‘glider’ Autonomous Underwater Vehicles AUVs are deployed for years without human intervention, coming to the surface when necessary to harvest electric power from both waves and sun.
This report covers hybrid and pure electric marine vehicles: it encompasses the extreme variety from a $50 pure electric sea scooter for a scuba diver to many $25 million hybrid super yachts and pure electric $5 million AUVs, tourist submarines etc., some with fuel cells. We observe that it is new laws from Taiwan to Europe that are making electric boats the norm on inland waterways, even for water skiing. Learn how electric robot surface craft gather oil slicks while new electric tugboats outperform traditional ones and have new laws to encourage their adoption. Technology choices, trends and future breakthroughs are fully analysed.
The information is distilled into 19 easy to read tables and 109 figures in this new 181 page report. For example, one table gives 82 manufacturers of marine electric vehicles by country and type of craft and many component suppliers are surveyed.
