Abstract
The Powertrain Strategies for the 21st Century (PTS21) project surveys automotive industry experts to predict the powertrains North American cars and light trucks will be using within the next ten years. Consumer demands, government regulations, global events, and much more have affected the vehicles we drive. The 2020 PTS21survey asks powertrain experts in industry, government, academic, NGOs, and consulting companies to give their opinions about what powertrains will be like in 2025 and 2030. The survey also asks questions about recent emissions and fuel economy regulations, the challenges of EVs, and the effects of COVID-19 on the industry. The survey went out in May, 2020 to over 1,000 experts from our database. We received 110 completed surveys by the end of June, 2020. Our analyses show similar changes from our 2019 PTS21 survey with spark ignited engines decreasing and different forms of hybrid vehicles increasing. Experts also reported about 6 percent market penetration for pure electric vehicles in 2025 and 13 percent penetration in 2030. Our analyses also look at differences among three groups of respondents: auto manufacturers, suppliers, and a third group made up of government, academic, NGOs, and consulting company respondents. We will report our results at our virtual 12th annual Powertrain Strategies for the 21st Century conference on July 15 and 16.
