Electrification - Automotive 6.3M hybrid electric vehicles sold as of March 31, 2013 (5.1M from Lexus / Toyota) With more than 50 hybrid vehicle models from various manufacturers available in the US today, hybrids on the road are saving nearly 500 million gallons of petroleum annually in this country. Tony Markel, senior engineer with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Source: Toyota Press Room (2013-04-17). "Toyota cumulative global hybrid sales pass 5M, nearly 2M in US". Green Car Congress. 14
Electrification - Aerospace Energy Efficiency More efficient and less wasteful, even when many of the resulting aircraft may be heavier and have more drag Lower energy losses during conversion Engines are freed from the constraints of a bleed off-take, improved SFC Environmental Issues Reduction in fuel consumption which relates to the energy efficiency effect Elimination of hydraulic fluids Logistics and Operational Maintenance Deletion of hydraulic and pneumatic systems Easier interfaces to the aircraft than with hydraulic or pneumatic connections Reduction of variety of support equipment used today. Decreased life-cycle costs 15
Electrification Off Highway John Deere 644K Hybrid Wheel Loader Average fuel usage reduction of 25% Up to 50% reduction for certain tasks Estimated 2x increase in life of tires Roughly 50% decrease in cab noise Only 20% higher upfront cost 16
