Launches of fuel cell cars are reportedly planned by up to six carmakers from 2015, including Tata Motors of India, owners of Jaguar Land Rover. Hydrogen fuel cells are portrayed as pivotal in creating success for pure electric cars but the truth is very different. More is explained in the latest IDTechEx report,Future Technology for Hybrid and Pure Electric Cars 2015-2025.

Congatec has extended the long-term availability of its AMD processor-based COMs from seven to ten years, securing the supply of Qseven, COM Express, XTX and ETX modules with AMD Embedded G-Series SoC in identical configuration for an additional three years. For the AMD Embedded G-Series SoC processors (formerly code named ‘Steppe Eagle’) this means an extension into the first quarter of 2024.

Metal oxide display backplanes have already gone commercial. Sharp has invested in establishing a Gen8 IGZO plant at its Kameyama plant in Japan while LG has also selected IGZO backplanes for its large-sized white OLED technology. At the same time, Chinese companies such as BOE are fast playing catch up with both prototype and production capacity announcements. By Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Head of Consulting, IDTechEx.

Harmonic Drive AG has enhanced its partnership with leading Danish manufacturer Universal Robots with the supply of HFUS-2SH Series Gears for use in the UR-5 six-axis flexible robot. The superior mechanical properties of the gear are used in the flexible lightweight UR-5's six-axis robot arm. The move is an effort by Universal Robots to optimise production processes by reducing floor space and increasing flexibility.

According to Lux Research, GaN-on-Si wafer substrates will dominate the Gallium nitride (GaN) market for at least the next decade, growing to $1bn in 2024, a 90% share. GaN materials can create more efficient devices for electric power conversion in devices from cell phone chargers to HEVs, leading to a $1.1bn market for GaN discrete components in 2024.

What do you get when you cross tougher emissions and fuel economy standards, 48V lithium-ion battery technology, energy harvesting and high-power applications such as Electric Power Steering (EPS), Brake-By-Wire (BBW) and Heating, Ventilation & Air-conditioning (HVAC) systems? By Philip Chesley, Vice President, Precision Products, Intersil.

2014 has been an eventful year for the graphene industry. The first round of commercial applications has already been announced, and the industry has witnessed intense investment and acquisition activity as further companies have gone public. Despite the high interest, valuations of public graphene companies have declined, returning largely to where they were at the time of their IPOs.

According to Lux Research: large-scale stationary energy is key to a smarter power grid and for integration of intermittent renewables; Redox flow batteries are touted as an emerging option, but have been too expensive; and now, falling costs will carve out a 360MWh market in 2020, worth $190m.

Used to convert and manage electricity in devices from mobile phones to pumps and motors, power electronics will be worth $23bn for discrete components in 2024. According to Lux Research, silicon-based devices will remain the main technology of choice, but SiC and GaN will be the fastest-growing at 30 and 32% annual rates, respectively, gaining a combined 13% share in 2024.

At EuMW 2014, M/A-COM Technology Solutions announced that the MAMX-011023 active mixer is now sampling. According to the company, the 4–23GHz mixer provides a wider frequency coverage than competing mixers. The cost-effective mixer is suitable for a variety of applications, including test and measurement, electronic warfare, point-to-point wireless and video satellite.
