Abstract

The IEA Implementing Agreement (IA) "Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technologies and Programmes" is an international working group of actual 17 governments interested in hybrid-, fuel cell- and electric vehicles. It works as a platform for information exchange about national programmes and activities and for collaboration on various topics. This collaboration platform is an efficient way to share information, to avoid misguided activities and to start joint efforts. The collaboration saves money and speeds up the development of the national programmes. This speeds up the market introduction of all kind of "Hybrid- and electric vehicles". This presentation describes the results of the working groups. The planned new working groups will be explained.
