Market Overview

Energy harvesting and regeneration in the automotive industry involves capturing and storing energy from sources like solar power, thermal energy, kinetic energy, or wind energy to power vehicles and improve overall energy efficiency. The harvested energy is stored in batteries and capacitors to support vehicle operations and reduce fuel consumption. Essentially, it converts kinetic energy into electric energy. Leading automotive companies are heavily investing in research and development to gain a competitive edge over other industry players. Additionally, in response to the depletion of natural resources, manufacturers are compelled to adopt advanced technologies in order to achieve a cleaner environment.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, HEVs generally achieve superior fuel efficiency and exhibit lower fuel expenses compared to similar traditional vehicles. For instance, the 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid on FuelEconomy.gov is reported to have an EPA combined city-and-highway fuel efficiency rating of 50 miles per gallon (MPG), whereas the rating for the traditional 2023 Corolla (four-cylinder, automatic) is 35 MPG. Utilize the Find a Car tool on FuelEconomy.gov to evaluate the fuel efficiency ratings of individual hybrid and traditional models.
