Nissan will Dominate with Connected Telematics Vehicles

Boston, MA - June 15, 2011 – The Strategy Analytics Automotive Multimedia and Communications Service (AMCS) predicts that the growing market for electric vehicles must be supported by a connected telematics solution in order to grow from a niche market to a mainstream vehicle solution. The report, "Strategy Analytics: Electric Vehicle Telematics: Connectivity Essential", outlines connectivity solutions and data requirements that are essential for this nascent electric vehicle market. Also included are electric vehicle OEM market share charts, forecasts and manufacturer profiles.

"It is still very early for the Electric Vehicle market. The vehicle-charging infrastructure has not yet been strongly linked to the car," said Mark Fitzgerald, Associate Director of the Strategy Analytics North American Automotive service.  "The charging infrastructure, vehicle and consumer cell phone must all connect in order to relay electric vehicle-specific data beyond charging station location and state of charge.  Electric vehicles require communication systems that convey charging station location, compatibility and availability."

The Strategy Analytics Automotive Multimedia and Communications Service provides highly detailed system, feature and semiconductor forecasts as well as industry leading strategic market analysis of the applications and services markets.
