What Can Our Company Do to Improve Industry Wide
Communication and Cooperation?

One thing we have noticed quite strikingly is that the most advanced companies in the electric, hybrid electric, and fuel cell vehicle industries embrace a spirit of tremendous consultation, cooperation, and collaboration with others in the field. Companies which in the past may have seen each other as competitors are realizing that companies in the EV, HEV, and Fuel Cell industries are in many respects, essentially on the same team. These leaders are reaching out, forming alliances and cooperative ventures in areas of research, design, development, manufacturing, and marketing.



Here are some steps your company may want to consider to improve communication and cooperation within the EV,HEV, and Fuel Cell industries..

1. Become more informed about what is happening within the broader EV and HEV industry by keeping up with industry news, and also by visiting the websites of the many excellent companies within the industry.

2. Study in depth the companies working in your area of expertise. Keep informed about new developments.

3. Contact companies you believe have mutual long term goals, and present potential for partnering with your company, to open an exploratory dialogue.

4. Contact companies within your specific area of technology to identify and discuss your common goals, and explore the possibilities of working together to achieve them.

5. If you have not already, place links on your company website to the websites of companies you are partnering with, and describe your relationship.

6. Place a link on your company website to EVtransPortal.com as a sign of your company's commitment to industry wide communication and cooperation.

Some of the benefits of improved industry communication and cooperation are:

Facillitating knowledge transfer.

Promoting the adoption of mutually agreed upon industry standards for component technologies.

Finding better ways to integrate components into systems that can be better adapted across different platforms.

Combining research, design, and production capabilities from allied partners to produce more standardized electric vehicles which will have the effect of lowering both production and servicing costs, and enhance consumer acceptance.

Formation of alliances and partnerships for the purpose of promoting the electric and hybrid electric industry as a whole in the areas of marketing, sales, servicing, and customer services by pooling resources and capabilities.

We realize that this industry is in the early stages of development, and it is natural for a variety of competing technologies within the industry to evolve.

At the same time, we are convinced that forming partnerships and alliances within the EV industry will help to focus resources more effectively, achieve economies of scale, and result in better products reaching the market sooner.

EVtransPortal is dedicated to helping companies in the EV, HEV and Fuel Cell industries achieve their goals.
