Although researches in the eco-friendly innovation studies have contributed much to technological development, a limited contribution has been made to the importance of structural concepts, strategic decisions and early stage marketing in the diffusion of innovation. The uniqueness of this research lies in its effort of exploring Toyota’s commercialization strategies for the first generation of its green vehicles, Prius Hybrid and RAV4 EV. Literature is reviewed from both historical and technological perspectives. The Roger’s Diffusion model was used and on the basis on this review, it has been argued that Toyota’s hybrid vehicle commercialization strategy affected this company’s electric vehicle development at least for a decade. The results fill a gap in the literature, particularly in Green vehicles research, development, and marketing.

The Impact

Subject. The article reviews various transport electrification scenarios, which would help reduce the CO2 emissions and environmental threats. The environmental and economic security can also be affected if the State insufficiently understands the importance of electric vehicle development, their popularization. It is also crucial to encourage the consumption, develop the infrastructure, innovative projects, which reshape the power engineering structure. Objectives. We determine how global trends influence the production and integration of electric vehicles in Russia. We also evaluate the environmental and cost effectiveness of morot vehicle electrification, opportunities and trajectories for the electric vehicle development nationwide. Methods. The study involves methods used to summarize regulatory, empirical and theoretical data, and general and partial scientific methods and techniques, such as abstraction, analysis, analogy, etc. Results. The article shows the extent of electric transport development worldwide, and focuses on environmental issues and opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint by using electric vehicles and renewable energy sources. We point out opportunities, threats, prospects and disadvantages of the electric vehicle use in Russia. The article indicates how the use of electric cars can be developed in Russia, considering changes in the production structure and the generation of positive effects as much as possible. Conclusions. Currently, Russia evidently lags behind the global production and use of electric cars, without having a priority of the carbon footprint reduction. The strategy for the car segment advancement is underdeveloped. Suggested herein, the ideas for the electric car segment development are aimed to encourage the consumption, production, advancement of infrastructure and innovative projects, and ensure the environmental security of the country.

The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) EcoEagles are participating in the EcoCar: The NeXt Challenge competition. The competition is a three-year collegiate event where 16 teams from North America compete to build a more efficient and better performing GM production vehicle. The three year collegiate competition is sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE), General Motors (GM), and Argonne National Labs (ANL). The advanced vehicle technology competition has a history, and has been organized and ran for the past 20 years. The competition challenges collegiate minds to reduce the environmental impact of a Chevrolet EcoCAR by minimizing fuel consumption and reducing emissions while retaining the vehicle’s performance, safety, and consumer appeal. The main focus of the competition is to use real world vehicle development strategies and processes that would meet GM’s standard practices and safety protocols. All of the sponsors of the competition provide teams with engineering tools, equipment needed to create a realistic vehicle, and project design support to the teams throughout the competition. The ERAU team, the EcoEagles, has successfully devised a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) propulsion system that meets those requirements. The electrification of the powertrain and the use of biodiesel fuel are central themes in the EcoEagles’ strategy for improving fuel economy and tailpipe emissions. The team selected an electric range of approximately 25 miles based on the average commuter driving less than 33 miles per day [1]; meaning that most of the vehicle operation will be conducted using either fully electric or electric-assisted propulsion. The vehicle design consideration was accomplished by implementing a 1.3L GM Turbo Diesel coupled with a 2-Mode electrically variable transmission (EVT) and an A123 Lithium-Ion Iron-Phosphate 330V 12.8kWhr battery pack. The EcoEagles design will reduce petroleum energy consumption by 78%, improve fuel economy by 66%, and reduce well-to-wheel greenhouse gas (WTWGHG) emissions by 30%. The paper will focus on the 99% production readiness. The paper will also discuss and include vehicle test data supporting the energy efficiency, emissions, and performance / utility capabilities of the vehicle as determined by the first two years of vehicle development. The vehicle architecture and background information will also be presented to help the reader understand why the given architecture was chosen and how it might compare to the Chevrolet EcoCAR. Performance predictions made from simulations will be contrasted against those from the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) development. Finally, on-road testing will also be compared with the same predictions with the goal of showing why the model-based, HIL enhanced, and vehicle technical specifications (VTS) did or did not agree.
