Description

Strategic Intelligence: Advanced Materials for the Transport Sector

Summary

Advanced materials often incorporate alloys, composites, polymers, or nanomaterials that exhibit exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, durability, thermal stability, or functional properties. In the transport sector, advanced materials are vital for lightweighting, improving fuel efficiency, extending the range of electric vehicles (EVs), and ensuring safety, making them central to developing sustainable and high-performance mobility solutions.

Key Highlights
  • The transport sector is the second largest contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Advanced materials can help reduce this environmental impact, particularly through lightweighting, which substantially improves fuel consumption efficiency. Additionally, thermoplastics can be designed to be recycled multiple times without losing their properties, reducing both manufacturing emissions and end-of-life waste.
  • The incorporation of advanced materials within automotive batteries improves many performance attributes. Additionally, there is an incentive to develop battery chemistries that minimize or even eliminate the use of cobalt, thereby reducing supply chain volatility. This relates to concerns over the concentration of cobalt in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), as well as reports of child labor exploitation and other improper employment practices within its mining industry.
Scope
  • This report looks at the top three trends driving the development of advanced materials in transport: vehicle lightweighting, sustainability, and electric vehicle batteries. It also includes industry use cases.
Reasons to Buy
  • Manufacturers of cars, trains, and aircraft are exploring advanced materials, with several having surpassed the pilot testing stage to deploy them in commercial products. Advanced materials are expected to play a key role in market differentiation between regular and premium products. This report provides the ideal introduction to this disruptive theme.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
