PITTSBURGH, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The University of Pittsburgh football team will wear Makana masks to best protect its student-athletes, coaches and team personnel during air travel this season. The Makana mask, developed by Dr. David Mathews and donated to Pitt Athletics by Makana, functions as a closed system (no valve) with a functional two-way filter to protect even the most vulnerable populations from airborne pollutants.

«The Makana mask uses state-of-the-art technology and high-quality materials to provide the best possible protection,» said Dr. Freddie Fu, chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC. «I am proud of the relationship between Pitt and Makana and thrilled that this innovative new mask is going to help keep the Panthers safe during air travel.»

Pitt and UPMC Sports Medicine followed every CDC and UPMC guideline in place before ultimately choosing Makana masks to enhance student-athlete and staff safety during these unprecedented times. The Makana mask is not a N95 respirator mask, but rather as Dr. Mathews says «a mask that truly protects the wearer and those around them.»

«I did my residency in orthopedics at the University of Pittsburgh, where I often treated Pitt athletes, and of course I became a fan,» said Dr. Mathews. «Years later, it feels great to be able to provide these masks to Pitt athletes to keep them as safe as possible when they travel, especially by plane, for games in these unusual times. Makana masks were developed to provide a more effective, more comfortable, and reusable alternative to disposable surgical masks for anyone in situations with pollutants, pathogens or questionable air quality. With a global pandemic interfering with so many aspects of our lives, I’m delighted that our company can play a small part in the great tradition of Pitt football. Hail to Pitt!»

Makana
At Makana we are humanitarians first and innovators second. In the beginning, we set out to design an anti-pollution mask for at-risk populations in developing nations; something we rarely worry about in the United States. We wanted to create a washable reusable facemask; improving comfort, function, and performance while reducing unnecessary waste. We designed our mask to protect the most vulnerable populations from airborne pollutants. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we collectively agreed to make sure that our masks could be worn all day, every day. Our mask protects the wearer and everyone around them, using a simple two-way filter to capture bacteria and virus particles. With countless color options and four unique filters to choose from, the Makana facemask the most user-friendly protection available for everyone no matter where they live, work or play. Makana making the world a healthier place one breath at a time.

– Increase in penetration of electric vehicles and surge in initiatives by governments for developing electric vehicle charging infrastructure and other components drive the growth of the global electric vehicle on board charger market.

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Allied Market Research published a report, titled, «Electric Vehicle On Board Charger Market by Power Output (Less than 10kW, 10kw to 20kw, and More than 20kW), Vehicle Type (Electric Passenger Car, Electric Vans, Electric Buses, Electric Medium Duty Vehicles, Electric Heavy Duty Vehicles, Electric Agriculture Tractors, Electric Construction Equipment, Electric Mining Vehicles and Electric & Hybrid Boats and ships), and Propulsion Type (BEV, HEV and PHEV): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020–2027.» According to the report, the global electric vehicle on board charger industry was estimated at $2.15 billion in 2019, and is anticipated to hit $10.82 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 22.4% from 2020 to 2027.

Drivers, restraints, and opportunities-

Surge in penetration of electric vehicles and rise in government initiatives for development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and related components fuel the growth of the global electric vehicle on board charger market. On the other hand, lack of standardization of EV charging and increased installation of DC fast chargers restrain the growth to some extent. However, development of two-way on-board chargers for future electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle is expected to create multiple opportunities for the key players in the industry.

COVID-19 scenario-

• The unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak has almost put a brake in the automobile industry and in turn, the electric vehicle on board charger market has been impacted pretty badly.
• Also, the intensity of the impact has been much sharper, as lockdowns have spread at full tilt all over the world. Dwindling consumer demand, disruptions in the supply chain, and several government restrictions have now resulted in the production shortage of electric vehicle on board charger.

The HEV segment to dominate by 2027-

Based on propulsion type, the HEV segment accounted for nearly half of the global electric vehicle on board charger market share in 2019, and is expected to rule the roost by the end of 2027. This is attributed to the fact that Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) incorporate the benefits of gasoline engines and electric motors, as they carry both propulsion techniques such as ICE coupled with EV, and can be configured to meet different objectives such as improved fuel economy, increased power, or additional auxiliary power for electronic devices and power tools. The BEV segment, on the other hand, would grow at the fastest CAGR of 23.5% throughout the forecast period. This is due to the fact that BEV vehicles have longer electric driving ranges as compared to PHEVs.

The electric passenger car segment to maintain the dominant share-

Based on vehicle type, the electric passenger car segment contributed to around two-thirds of the global electric vehicle on board charger market revenue in 2019, and is anticipated to lead the trail during the study period. Rise in sale of four wheeler vehicles and improvements in charging infrastructure needed for charging different electric vehicles are creating demand for on board chargers equipped with them. This factor drives the segment growth. At the same time, the electric buses segment would register the fastest CAGR of 26.2% till 2027. Increasing investment in the sector from public and private sources is expected to significantly escalate the number of light & medium duty electric buses on road which, in turn, propels the segment growth.

Asia-Pacific, followed by Europe and North America, garnered the major share in 2019 –

Based on geography, Asia-Pacific, followed by Europe and North America, held the major share in 2019, generating nearly half of the global electric vehicle on board charger market. Availability of raw material, government regulations, rise in urbanization, increase in fuel prices, surge in trend toward adopting non-fossil fuel-based vehicles, cheap labor cost, and increase in disposable income drive the market growth in this region. Simultaneously, Europe would manifest the fastest CAGR of 23.1% by 2027. Increase in investment in R&D activities related to electric vehicles and rise in demand for electric vehicle across the continent fuel the market growth.
