Oil prices a key driver in widespread acceptance

Hybrid cars are predicted to grow in popularity to account for as much 6 per cent of all car sales globally by 2013, says a new report. Sales growth will be driven by a combination of rising oil prices, lower hybrid car prices and canny marketing to persuade consumers that alternatively fuelled vehicles are a sound investment.

Forecasts show sales of hybrid cars will increase to make up four percent of total volume in Europe by the end of the decade. The same picture emerges in the US where Hybrid Electrical Passenger Vehicle (HEPV) sales reached 212,000 in 2005 compared with about 9,500 in 2000.

After 3G Mobile, is it HSDPA or WiMAX?

After the mixed fortunes of 3G mobile phones, the mobile phone industry is facing a tough choice on which technology to adopt for the next generation of internet-enabled handsets, according to a new short report from ReportBuyer.com.

The Wi-Fi concept, WiMAX, originally made for computers is super fast at 70 Mbps while HSPDA (high speed downlink packet access), based on cellular phone technology, only offers 3.6 Mbps at best. Mobiles using HSPDA reach the market next year. But the WiMAX method will require huge investment in network infrastructure to achieve its target speeds on a widespread basis.

The likely outlook on the value of the US Dollar is dividing opinion among influential economists as the US continues to suffer from growing current account and fiscal deficits, says a new report.

The persistent US fiscal and current account deficits have grown to unprecedented heights, reaching $480bn and $790bn respectively in 2005, causing genuine concerns that a readjustment of the imbalances to a sustainable figure will bring about a collapse of the dollar, triggering a recession in the US and by virtue of globalised trade links, a worldwide economic slump.
