Season’s greetings and may 2013 be a prosperous new year for all.

EurotaxGlass`s Business Intelligence (BIF) Forum 2011:
"May you live in interesting times"
This year`s BIF `s will reassess last years consenus that electric vehicles will only play a minor role in the medium term and not be a mass market product. Key questions of this year`s Forum will be:
- are we still on the transformation path or back to business as usual?
- do practical and commercial improvements of alternative powertrain concepts accelerate their commercialisation?

Maintal, April 2011
EurotaxGlass`s survey underpins high consumers interest and considerable purchase intentions for electric vehicles in Europe’s Big 5 markets!
Times are definitely green! At this year`s Geneva Autoshow alternatively powered cars received their own exhibition area and hardly any car maker did not promote either an electric or an hybrid vehicle. Governments are subsidising the industry and purchases of vehicles with alternative powertrains. Finally, the European Parliament increased regulatory pressures by demanding the car industry achieves the target of 130 g/km CO2 by 2015 and 95g/km by 2020. However, the real question is: Is the customer ready and willing to buy electric vehicles?
