Description and Achievements of HEV TCP Phase Sample Clauses

Description and Achievements of HEV TCP Phase. 2, 1999-2004 Phase 2 of the HEV TCP started in November 1999 at a time when the first hybrid vehicle – the Prius – had just been introduced to the market, and battery electric vehicles were considered suitable only for some market niches (such as neighbor- hood electric vehicles, small trucks for local deliveries, and two- or three-wheel vehicles). Although good progress had been made in battery technology, low-cost, high-performance traction batteries were not yet commercially available.

One of the most notable findings resulting from this task is that the decision of a customer to purchase a hybrid is based more on reduced fuel costs and projecting an environmentally responsible image rather than on the cost of the vehicle. • Deployment strategies for hybrid, electric, and alternative fuel vehicles (Task 8): This Task considered 95 government programmes in 18 countries that were aimed at introducing (deploying) clean vehicles and fuels. The scope of work included both vehicles and fuels, and for this reason the task force was a joint effort between two IEA TCPs: HEV TCP and the Technology Collaboration Programme on Advanced Motor Fuels (TCP-AMF). The objectives of the task force were to analyze how governments can accelerate the deployment of advanced automotive technologies in the marketplace and to make recommendations that will enhance the effectiveness of policies, regulations, and programmes.
