The car as a city car to complete the promotion.

The use of cell car Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology Shanghai Co., Ltd. Qing capable of producing.

 With the American Automobile News? China “in an interview in Shanghai Qing Energy Fuel Cell Technology Co., Ltd. CEO George Gu said that the use of hydrogen fuel cells and hybrid electric portfolio of vehicle battery, will be the new direction of development.

Mr. Gu said that the weight of batteries due to their own problems, with many restrictions. Using the weight of large vehicles need more battery power to drive. 367759-001 , However, for hydrogen fuel cell and battery requirements for motor vehicles has been divided between cruising and accelerating momentum, the hybrid can be like a normal car driving, “he added.

Mr. Gu said: “Fuel cells could be used to provide power capacitors cruise car, while the battery provides peak power can be accelerated.,” And the capacitor can also be obtained in under braking to recharge the battery.;

However, an industry analyst with Global Insight Senior Duan Wu expressed doubts about “taking into account all aspects of barriers, I think these vehicles will be used for display purposes, also suitable for use up to a very limited uses, such as the Expo or on a college campus.;

 Based in Singapore, Horizon Fuel cells produce almost 100,000, and a number of vehicles to fuel cell developers supplies, including vehicles with fuel cells are engaged in research of Chinese universities. pa3285u-1bas , The company employs 120 people in Shanghai, with production and R & D base.

The Chinese government encourages the development of vehicles to hydrogen fuel cell. Shenli Technology Shanghai Co., Ltd. is a developer of technology for fuel cells, the spokesman for the company Sunny Sun, said the company is on the car-size passenger cell project vehicle fuel, in cooperation with the Government.

Sun said that the divine power of the enterprise system of fuel cell hydrogen power can generate electricity to drive motors and cars. Used for re-charging time is normally 10 minutes.

To re-charge time is installed in passenger cars on the reservoir pressure hydrogen storage and the size determined, Sun said. If the pressure is high time to re-charge will be longer, or if large, the time will be longer, but it is usually 5 to 10 minutes long.

Sun says that from the fuel cell power company divine propelled passenger cars will be first next year at the Shanghai World Expo. thinkpad t42 series battery 

Currently, there are two station hydrogen fueling in Beijing, Shanghai, is the only one.

However, Shanghai will also build four refueling station hydrogen. She said: “By 2010, Shanghai will have five fueling station available hydrogen for Expo 2010 Shanghai World show the use of fuel cell vehicle.

Volkswagen and its partner Shanghai Automotive Industry (Group) Corporation has led to the development trend of fuel to China of automotive technology hydrogen fuel cell.

Nikolas Thork spokesman for Volkswagen in China, said: “Volkswagen is actively engaged in research on cell vehicles and hydrogen fuel development, not only in Germany and China.”; Shanghai Volkswagen and the University Tongji cooperation, the Volkswagen Passat zones according to Shanghai Volkswagen passenger cars, has developed a cell cars fuel Passat Passat. ;

Electric vehicle market segmentation

Filed under: Battery tips — Tags: — todaybattery @ 8:45 pm

Global automakers seek to shape the future of the market for electric cars. In order to attract environmentally conscious, or the fascination of technology, rich buyers, these companies need to knock the main concern of consumer products, the value for money products. Given the current cost of battery energy storage, which is a huge challenge. inspiron b130 battery 

A recent McKinsey study shows that companies can achieve this in a way dedicated to a specific consumer based on the specific task of driving (ie how they use the vehicle) to customize the vehicle battery. Most vehicles using existing fuels, and many drawings of the electric car would meet the travel distance and speed of driving a variety of different missions. If companies are focused on driving consumers to a specific mission, according to the specific needs of consumers, adapting the requirements of the storage battery of the vehicle of energy, and thus develop more economical models. Consequently, companies can more effectively build the brand of this product to design a more effective advertising and marketing strategy for the theme.

Our study focused on the United States, the typical mission led to inspect affected vehicles, the storage requirements of battery power (and corresponding cost) factors.346970-001 , We will use energy is divided into two main categories:

Firstly, the physical characteristics of the vehicle (for example, rolling resistance and quality) of the energy required;

Secondly, the use of vehicles (running distance, speed and stopping and starting frequency) required for energy. Is well known that a small increase in energy storage that will greatly improve the efficiency of electric vehicles. (And fuel vehicles, it is not the case, because the increase will not increase the fuel tank almost any price).

However, we found that the storage requirements, even if the body size and the total mileage to keep driving the same vehicle for different missions will be very different. Driving mission for the storage needs of the role much more than body size.

Consider two common mission in the city driving and commuting. This is much higher storage requirements, is not primarily due to the car commuter distance travel further, the most important factor is the average speed of moving higher to the high road speed, air resistance through increased participation (Figure 1). This clearly shows that is suitable for high-energy conducting intensive task (such as commuting) and car batteries for those vehicles at low speed for short distance travel (for example, sony vgp-bps13 ,things in the city) and consumers, the feature is a waste of a. These vehicles can not access the cost of providing the appropriate value.

Focus on why the driving market town, not just travel shorter distances. That vehicles with internal combustion engines powered by rechargeable battery vehicles in local streets with lower speeds and stop and start frequently, the rate of energy mileage (miles / kWh, which is a few miles each storage unit) higher (Figure 2). A typical representative of such a mission to lead, including those for urban or suburban vehicles and delivery trucks, and perhaps a taxi. We estimate that up to 38 million U.S. households could buy such vehicles. The basis is that they have at least two vehicles (so it can be used to drive a more demanding activity), and at least one car of a lower annual mileage, and the annual income of these families is sufficient to support electric cars.

Of course, battery-powered vehicles are not suitable for all consumers or households. Some people need a plug-in hybrid (PHEV can be driven by electricity, but also a small internal combustion engine with a replacement vehicle) to provide greater driving distance. In this regard, in accordance with the mission to drive the segmentation, cost-effective to maintain the attractiveness of vehicles is also crucial. Figure 3 shows that the battery of different sizes of plug-in hybrids operating costs of these vehicles for the four types of mission of normal driving,pa3285u-1bas , the total annual mileage of each type varies for each trip between the load balancing is not the same.

In accordance with the mission to drive market segments without the need for consumers to buy more than they need for larger vehicles and batteries. Depending on the use of vehicles of different ways, the requirements of battery size (and initial capital costs related), and run the economy will be very different. In city driving plug-in hybrids need the best battery size, is a sales representative car batteries required 1 / 41. More importantly, the cost of the battery is proportional to its size, the current cost of the battery about 750 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour, the size of the battery can be converted to significant cost savings, and sometimes the amount of saving thousands of dollars. This means that only provide a plug-in hybrids (for example, while the mileage of 40 miles of electricity), companies may lose in the competition of these electric mileage is only 10 miles or 20 miles, slightly most operating costs, however, a much lower price of the vehicle manufacturer. Because the use of gasoline mileage Vacation rechargeable electric hybrid mileage is not very frequent use than the cost of carrying “capacity” replacement battery is much lower. thinkpad r52 battery 

Focuses on the market with a specific mission to drive the design and sale of vehicle batteries, but also allows manufacturers to target buyers clearly defined values and the precise positioning of their marketing strategies. While some automakers in adopting this approach, but there are still many other manufacturers are also working to design to meet customer demand 95% of vehicles. Our studies have shown that these car manufacturers should consider a new method of market segmentation.

Britain’s new rules “revenue” batteries

Filed under: Battery tips — Tags: — todaybattery @ 10:25 pm

How to effectively recycle used batteries has been a problem facing all countries. Since February 1, EU recycling of batteries of new regulations in the United Kingdom to require annual sales of more than a certain number of stores that the battery is charged to recycle batteries. inspiron 710m battery 

Some people clapped their hands in favor, while others fear that it will raise the price of the battery.

New Rules

Under the new regulations, annual sales of storing over 32 kg of battery to establish the recycling of used batteries, recycling, including ordinary batteries, rechargeable batteries, including a variety of batteries for mobile phones . In other words, as long as the average daily volume of sales of a battery pack, it is necessary for recovery.

Institutions of corporate governance need to report on recycling of batteries, and to bring the battery to specialized agencies.

The EU hopes to achieve by the end of the battery whereby the target recovery rate of 10%, and strive to make the recovery of batteries in 2012 reached 25% in 2016 to 45 %. sony vgp-bps2 ,Provided that the battery manufacturers must assume primary responsibility for achieving recycling targets.

British Broadcasting Corporation February 1 City of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Hilary Benn, then reports: “If not recycling old batteries, it will harm the environment. … The new … Regulations will help consumers make easier the right thing. ”

Multi-channel

Statistics show that EU countries annually 800,000 tons of car batteries were sold, 19 million tonnes of industrial batteries and 16,000 tons of household batteries, most of them in the performance of ” mission “after being dumped with household waste. These batteries can release toxic chemicals, pollution, soil and water, seriously affect the environment.

British Retail Consortium, said officials Baobogedeng retailers are ready but the government should be “multi-faceted” channel to establish more recycling of batteries.

He said that the bank should not be the only way for the battery recall, “we need in society, schools, community centers and recycling facilities on the street are set up … .. . all the evidence for consumers, more susceptible to door recycling service, the best results obtained in this way. ”

Therefore, “we need greater involvement of local governments, home battery recycling, and creating a mechanism for sustained recovery.”

The fear of price increases

Germany VARTA Battery Co., Ltd., said the environmental awareness of consumers and businesses is the program for battery recycling success factors.

Society Regional Vice President Vince Armitage said that to achieve the recycling of batteries, the cooperation of businesses and consumers is essential, but lack of incentives meant that lack of access to high recognition. ”

Armitage also said that recycling 1 ton of each battery, battery manufacturers have to pay about 1,000 pounds (1,600 dollars), reaching 10% of the target, the manufacturer to pay for at least 3 million pounds (4.8 million U.S. dollars). thinkpad t41 battery 

The owner named James Shortridge said that the establishment will increase the recycling of batteries operating costs of stores, “we need more staff and time to process the data required by the Crown … … additional costs will be passed on to consumers. “
