  • Abstract
    In a world where environmental protection and energy conservation are growing concerns, the development of electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles has taken on an accelerated pace. The dream of having commercially viable electric and hybrid vehicles is becoming a reality. It is important that the automobile companies have both proper technical and commercialization roadmaps hand-in-hand. The company CEOs should take the lead in drawing the technical and commercialization roadmaps. This task should not just be dedicated to the R&D departments or sales departments, since this is a major project that will have major effects on the company and society. In addition to having clear objectives, the senior management should also have holistic and creative thinking to oversee the progress of the project.
