"Sanyo Electric,
a struggling maker of electronics, hopes to make the
[hybrid vehicle] battery business a major driver of
its profit recovery," according to MotorTrend.
Sanyo will now supply hybrid batteries for
Volkswagen's hybrid
vehicles. Eventually, Sanyo would like to
control 50% of the battery market for hybrids.
Another hybrid supplier means more competition and
better pricing, and that old hybrid momentum just
keeps rolling.
