Tesla's European sales slump for fifth month
HighlightsTesla's new car sales in Europe fell by 27.9% in May 2023 compared to the same month last year, while fully-electric vehicle sales in the region increased by 27.2%. Tesla's European market share dropped to 1.2% in May 2023 from 1.8% in May 2022, as customers increasingly turn to cheaper Chinese electric vehicles. Despite a 1.9% increase in overall car sales in Europe, the European market saw significant growth in plug-in hybrids and alternative fuel vehicles, with registrations of battery-electric vehicles rising by 26.1%. Tesla 's new car sales in Europe fell 27.9% in May from a year earlier even as fully-electric vehicle sales in the region jumped 27.2%, with the US EV maker's revised Model Y yet to show signs of reviving the brand's fortunes. Overall car sales in Europe rose 1.9%, with the strongest growth coming from plug-in hybrids and cars powered by alternative fuels, data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) showed. Why it's important Tesla's European sales have now fallen for five straight months as customers switch to cheaper Chinese EVs and, in some cases, protest against Tesla CEO Elon Musk's politics. Tesla's European market share dropped to just 1.2% in May from 1.8% a year ago. The revised Model Y is meant to revamp the company's ageing model range as traditional automakers and Chinese rivals launch EVs at a rapid pace amid trade tensions. Chinese manufacturers kept up their strong growth in Europe last month despite EU tariffs on Chinese EVs, selling 65,808 cars and doubling their market share to 5.9%, according to separate data released Tuesday by Jato Dynamics. BYD registered nearly as many vehicles as Tesla in May, after outselling it in April. By the numbers May new car sales in the European Union, Britain and the European Free Trade Association rose to 1.11 million vehicles, following a 0.3% dip in April, ACEA data showed. Registrations at Chinese state-owned SAIC Motor and Germany's BMW rose 22.5% and 5.6% respectively, while they fell 23% at Japan's Mazda . In the EU alone, total car sales have fallen 0.6% so far this year. That comes despite growing demand for EVs, with registrations of battery-electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and hybrid-electric (HEV) cars rising 26.1%, 15% and 19.8% respectively. EU sales of BEVs, HEVs and PHEVs combined accounted for 58.9% of passenger car registrations in May, up from 48.9% in May 2024. Among the largest EU markets, new car sales in Spain and Germany rose 18.6% and 1.2% respectively, while in France and Italy they dropped by 12.3% and 0.1%. In Britain, registrations were up 1.6%.

Toshiba Releases 2-Channel Automotive Standard Digital Isolators Compliant with AEC-Q100
KAWASAKI, Japan, June 19 (Bernama) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a line of 2-channel high-speed standard digital isolators for automotive applications. The new "DCM32xx00 Series' features four devices that support stable operation with high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 100kV/μs (typ.)[¹] and high data transmission rate of 50Mbps (max)[²] . All conform to the AEC-Q100 standard for the safety and reliability of automotive electronic components. Shipments start today. The safety and reliability of on-board chargers (OBC) and battery management systems (BMS) in hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV) require devices that ensure isolation and prevent noise-propagation. Automotive standard digital isolators provide solutions for the multi-channel high-speed communications and high CMTI these isolation devices require.

Toshiba Releases 2-Channel Automotive Standard Digital Isolators Compliant with AEC-Q100
KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a line of 2-channel high-speed standard digital isolators for automotive applications. The new "DCM32xx00 Series' features four devices that support stable operation with high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 100kV/μs (typ.) [1] and high data transmission rate of 50Mbps (max) [2]. All conform to the AEC-Q100 standard for the safety and reliability of automotive electronic components. Shipments start today. The safety and reliability of on-board chargers (OBC) and battery management systems (BMS) in hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV) require devices that ensure isolation and prevent noise-propagation. Automotive standard digital isolators provide solutions for the multi-channel high-speed communications and high CMTI these isolation devices require. The new isolators use Toshiba's proprietary magnetic coupling type isolated transmission method to achieve a high CMTI of 100kV/μs (typ.). This delivers high level resistance to electric noise between input and output in isolated signal transmission, enables stable control signal transmission and contributes to stable equipment operation. A low-pulse-width distortion of 0.8ns (typ.) [2] and a data-transmission rate of 50Mbps (max) [2] are also achieved. The new products are suitable for 2-channel high-speed communication applications such as I/O interfaces with CAN [3] communications. Toshiba already mass produces 4-channel automotive standard digital isolators, and has now extended its product lineup to 2-channel small SOIC8-N packages. Going forward, the company will expand its range of channels and packages for automotive and industrial equipment. It will continue to provide high-quality isolation devices and photocouplers that support the reliability and real-time data transmission required by automotive equipment.

Honda bets big on hybrids with new ‘world-beating' tech
Honda has announced plans to launch no fewer than 13 next-generation hybrid cars by the end of the decade. All will feature what the brand claims will be the 'world's most efficient powertrain' and all will arrive within a four-year timeframe starting in 2027. Honda is still moving forwards with its radical new '0 Series' electric cars, the first of which is due to launch next year, however the recent slowdown in EV sales has caused the brand to reassess some of its predictions. For instance, it no longer believes 30 per cent of its global sales will be from EVs by 2030, as previously thought, leading to some reevaluating of its EV strategy and product plan. But while 'the expansion of the EV market has fallen behind the initial projection', as Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe put it when announcing the brand's new roadmap, 'demand for hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) is growing. Advertisement - Article continues below 'We are forecasting that the demand for HEVs will continue to grow toward 2030, as they contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions, without the issue of needing charging infrastructure.' These new hybrid models will 'play a key role during the transition period' before EVs become a lot more popular. Honda's next-generation e:HEV hybrid powertrain will be an evolution of its two-motor system, which it introduced back in 2014. This sees a petrol engine work together with two electric motors, one used to drive the wheels and another to generate energy for the car's battery. The combustion engine can drive the wheels, mainly on the motorway to maximise efficiency. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below Honda plans to make various upgrades to its system, such as expanding the proportion of the rev range where the engine operates most efficiently. The new and improved hybrid setup will be combined with a new, lighter platform and a newly-developed electric AWD drive unit. Put all this together, and Honda says it will be able to improve fuel economy by more than 10% compared to current models. For context, the latest hybrid-powered Honda Civic can officially return up to 56.5mpg, and we managed to average 50.3mpg during our own testing. Honda is also aiming to reduce the cost of its next-generation hybrid powertrains by more than 30%. To demonstrate the renewed importance of hybrids within the company, the new 'H mark' badge that was originally only going to be worn by members of the '0 Series' EV line-up, will now also feature on Honda's most important hybrid models, starting in 2027. Understandably, technical details are thin on the ground at the moment, and so is any information about these 13 new hybrid models. However, we expect that successors to the Jazz supermini and Civic hatchback will be among them, considering the outgoing versions are a few years old now.
