DUBLIN, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Global and China Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Industry Report, 2020-2026» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), a kind of industrial robot, shares the same industry chain structure with industrial robot. Robot components, as the upstream also the core of the industry chain, occupies the most majority of costs in robot products. The medium sector is robot manufacturing & system integration enterprises, and downstream sectors covers application industries such as automobiles, 3C electronics and logistics.

As a substitute for human resources, the demand for moving AGVs has become increasingly strong. In 2019, China’s AGVs sold 40,670 units, up 37.4% yr-on-yr. In 2020, the new application value of AGVs (reducing human-to-human contact) was released due to COVID-19 epidemic, accelerating the development of entire AGV industry application scenarios. It is estimated the AGV sales volume hit 53,000 units in 2020, and forecasted to exceed 130,000 units by 2026.

From the perspective of application scenarios, AGV are mainly used in handling scenarios, and wherever there is handling, there is the possibility of AGV application. By application fields, the automobile industry, 3C electronics, tobacco industry, and logistics industry are the most widely used and most promising industries for AGV. Among them, the largest application field is e-commerce logistics services, accounting for about 32.8% of the total AGV demand. AGVs can automatically carry according to the optimal driving route, accurately dock at the desired manual picking platform, and pick out the corresponding quantity of goods. The matching AGV intelligent management system can complete the supervision of all cargo situations and operation links, and can check the storage, delivery, transportation, etc. of goods at any time, so that customers can grasp the dynamics of their own goods in real time.

Another typical application of AGV is in the automotive industry, and mainly in the engine assembly line, or the docking of the chassis and platform. For example: automatic transportation of raw materials, transportation of the assembly line, transportation to and from the test area, automatic transportation between workshop and finished products. Judging from the current data of domestic automobile manufacturers, most players have adopted domestic AGV as a circulation hardware for in-plant production logistics, with a high localization rate.

In terms of competition pattern, AGV carries relatively high localization rate but scattered market concentration, and the market steps into an era of competition. Every AGV manufacturer has its own unique advantages. Since 2015, the AGV industry has entered a period of rapid development, and there are large variables in the industry. Relatively speaking, enterprises with deeper technological accumulation and more unique functional development may benefit more from industry changes.

Formally established in 2000 and affiliated to Shenyang Institute of Automation, Shenyang Siasun Robot & Automation Co., Ltd. specializes in industrial robots, automated assembly and inspection production lines, logistics and storage automation complete sets of equipment, etc. In 2019, it realized revenue of 2.745 billion yuan, down 11.3% yr-on-yr. Among them, the logistics and storage automation complete sets of equipment business harvested operating revenue of 1.060 billion yuan, up 9.3% yr-on-yr. Its AGV mainly includes handling AGVs and assembly AGVs. Navigation technology covers a variety of navigation methods such as magnetic tape, laser, inertia, vision, GPS, natural contour, etc. Its AGV products are mainly applied in automobile and military fields, and the market share in automobile sector ranks first.

PLANO, Texas, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) announced plans to debut in the U.S. market this year, three new electrified models – two BEVs and a PHEV.

«We continue to be leaders in electrification that began with our pioneering introduction of the Prius nearly 25 years ago,» said Bob Carter, TMNA executive vice president of sales. «Toyota’s new electrified product offerings will give customers multiple choices of powertrain that best suits their needs.»

The new electrified models further expand Toyota’s U.S. leadership in alternative powertrain vehicles. Toyota has over 40% share of the total alternative fuel vehicle market, which includes a 75% share of the fuel cell market and a 64% share of hybrids and plug-ins. By 2025, Toyota’s goal is to have 25% of new vehicle sales be electrified models, and by 2030 expects that to increase to nearly 70%.

Globally, Toyota hybrid vehicles sold have avoided an estimated 139 million tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the atmosphere. In the U.S., we have avoided approximately 38 million tons of GHG. This achievement is the result of Toyota’s long-standing commitment to the environment and creating a net positive impact on the planet and society. 

Between now and 2025, Toyota and Lexus models, globally, will have an electrified option. Toyota is also developing a dedicated BEV platform, e-TNGA, that offers flexibility for all drive configurations. These initiatives are further steps toward achieving the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, introduced in 2015, the most demanding and most inspiring environmental commitments Toyota has ever made.

«We believe the fastest way to lower greenhouse gases in the transportation sector is to offer drivers lower carbon choices that meet their needs,» said Gill Pratt, chief scientist of Toyota Motor Corporation and CEO of Toyota Research Institute. «At every price point and with multiple powertrains, we can put more people in cleaner automobiles across North America to have the greatest near-term impact on total carbon emissions.»

Toyota shared highlights of new internal research evaluating the environmental impact and cost of ownership between a PHEV and a BEV. For this research, Toyota created a tool that shows the trade-off between GHG Emissions and Total Cost of Ownership. The source code for this tool is publicly available at carghg.org for others to experiment with the various input parameters and see the movement of BEVs and PHEVs on the GHG and cost plot. The research found:

• GHG of a currently available BEV model and PHEV model are roughly the same in on-road performance when factoring in pollutants created by electricity production for the average U.S. energy grid used to charge batteries.
• Manufacturing is a component of GHG emissions. Using the «Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies» (GREET) model, researchers found that the production of a PHEV emits less GHG since it uses a smaller, lighter weight battery.
• The PHEV is much less expensive to buy and own, compared to the BEV. Without any incentives, the five-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a long-range BEV is significantly higher than the PHEV. If you include incentives available this year (2020), the TCO of a long-range BEV is much higher.

The key point is that a BEV and PHEV can provide similar environmental benefits. Each has a unique profile and can be an optimal solution in different circumstances. By having a diversified product portfolio with multiple forms of vehicle electrification, Toyota can let consumers choose the model that best suits their usage needs and cost profile while maximizing the total contribution to GHG reduction.

Toyota’s progress on Challenge 2050 in North America is measured across four key areas – reducing carbon emissions, conserving water, fostering a sustainable supply chain including waste reduction, and protecting biodiversity. Sustainability planning, strategies and actions are driven by an annual North American Environmental Action Plan, with a five-year roadmap modeled to achieve targets in Challenge 2050 and also the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  Toyota is currently targeting:

• Reduction in CO2 from the company’s operations, products and vehicle lifecycle – including logistics, suppliers and dealers
• Reduction in overall water use per unit of vehicle production by 3% from a 2020 baseline
• Reduction of procurement of plastic packaging materials by 25% from a 2018 baseline
• Development of third party validated onsite habitat management policy by 2021 and begin implementation in 2022.

As proof of its commitment, Toyota recently agreed to purchase power from a future Clearway Energy Group wind farm to reduce its overall carbon footprint from electricity used from the power grid. Toyota also provided an annual update toward having a net positive environmental impact in the 2020 North American Environmental Report.
