2012 Chinese AutoIndustry Development Report. The fifth annual report on China’s autoindustry—2012 Chinese AutoIndustry Development Report—says that the next 20-30 years will be a “critical period” that will see the formation of a global new-energy vehicle industry.
Alongside advances in gasoline and diesel vehicle technology, the industry is investing heavily in alternative technologies. For pure battery-powered vehicles, take-up is even lower (0.5%). More than a fifth of new car models now available are zero-emission capable, yet they make up just 5% of sales. in 2017 to 119,821 units.
And while hybrid technology has taken off, drivers have been hesitant to accept fully battery-powered tech for a variety of reasons, including a lack of charging stations. In the future, autonomous vehicles and battery-powered technology could work together to create cleaner, more efficient roads. The solution?
The autoindustry is poised for some big changes in 2022. Boudette at The New York Times, “Battery-powered cars are having a breakthrough moment. … Their arrival represents the biggest upheaval in the autoindustry since Henry Ford introduced the Model T in 1908.”
As the autoindustry plans more electric cars in higher volumes for the 2020s, one of the great debates is whether they will need to be designed from the ground up solely for batterypower. Doing so allows designers to offer larger cabins due to the more compact drive motors and electronics.
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, one of the world’s leading specialists in sealing technologies for the autoindustry, has strengthened its position in the energy and electric mobility sectors with an acquisition and a strategic investment. Accordingly, the company has dual product development paths guiding its efforts.
Tesla did not set out to just be a dominating presence in the EV segment; the company is aiming to pull the general autoindustry towards battery-powered vehicles as a whole. And so far, this has been a pretty effective strategy.
VW, Daimler subsidiary Daug and Varta developed a NimH battery in the early 90s, and the VW group put the Audi duo hybrid on the road in 1997. However, Winterkorn said, VW, and the German autoindustry in general, abandoned the early advantage and work in electromobility. And the autoindustry doesn’t hold back on announcements.
Professor Herbert Kohler, the Head of E-Drive & Future Mobility at Daimler AG, described the joint venture as an important resource for the autoindustry to develop these batteries and also distribute them to third parties. The site is close to Li-Tec Battery GmbH, another joint venture between Daimler and Evonik.
BYDDY.US | BYD HK (Image credit: BYD) As the price war in China's autoindustry continues, BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) has launched revamped versions of its flagship sedan and flagship SUV at lower prices than previously available models. All three models of the BYD Tang DM-i are powered by a 21.5
Companies that can financially sustain themselves through the EV ramp will succeed in the long run, assuming that they have the technology and autoindustry credibility. “In the near-term, we expect to see some consolidation in the batteryindustry, with a few leaders taking the lead.
China is starting a program to subsidize buyers of battery-powered and plug-in hybrids. Government Aims to Create Strong Domestic Industry but Generous Rebates Risk a Backlash as Rich-Poor Divide Grows. Read more in the Wall St. Journal article: China to Subsidize Electric Cars. By NORIHIKO SHIROUZU. Japan and Europe.
The Globe and Mail – Electric vehicles sped past a major milestone last year as one in 10 new-vehicle buyers opted for batterypower, but the road ahead presents new obstacles for both policy-makers and the autoindustry.
By reducing wind resistance and weight, the company’s engineers effectively are reducing the amount of work an electric engine will have to perform to get the car up to driving speeds, which in turn conserves batterypower.&#. Here is the full text of the entire article in case the link goes bad: [link]. by: Michael Kanellos.
These machines make local transportation safe and sustainable with batterypower and low speeds. The batteries mean they have zero emissions and are better for the environment than gas-powered cars or golf carts. These cars attracted the attention of the autoindustry and led to the purchase of GEM by DaimlerChrysler.
What they got wrong was assuming that all of those vehicles would run on batterypower alone, with gasoline-electric hybrid technology bound for the technological scrap heap. The Ramcharger still packs more batterypower than many all-electric vehicles, such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Tesla Model 3.
More than half a million battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are on UK roads, statistics have revealed. BEV are the industry name for Electric cars. Hybrids and plug in hybrids, while electric are not 100% batterypowered. The industry calls this a ‘significant milestone’.
That firm has since partnered with Hydra Design Labs which, says it specializes in design, fabrication and prototyping for the autoindustry to move the idea closer to production readiness. Plug-in hybrids might be a better solution, something Airstream’s parent company Thor Industries is already investigating.
Early utility companies like Boston Edison and New York Edison organized EV fleets, favoring electric trucks for their comparatively capacious batteries. In the early years of the automobile, battery-powered electric cars were competitive with cars fueled by gasoline and other types of propulsion.
Starting this year, thousands of battery-powered electric drive Volkswagen vehicles capable of both loading and offloading current—bidirectional charging, as industry calls it—have been rolling off production lines in eastern Germany.
The autoindustry faces a crucial time as EV startups grapple with a slowdown in demand amid high interest rates and dwindling cash, while traditional automakers have struggled to build battery-powered vehicles and advanced software.
After discontinuing the production of vehicles powered entirely by internal combustion engines in March 2022, BYD has been at the forefront of the industry’s shift to EVs. The company began building lithium-ion batteries in 1996. BYD’s batteriespowered Motorola and Nokia’s popular smartphones in the early 2000s.
I thought then, and still do today, that a combination of battery-powered vehicles, with the ethical sourcing of raw battery materials, battery recycling, and renewable electricity production to power electric vehicles, is the only solution to making the transportation sector long-term sustainable while decarbonizing it.
Maybe Tesla and the Chinese aren’t just going to just roll over the rest of the autoindustry after all. Related: Stylish Subaru Sport Mobility Concept gives us a sneaky peek at a future battery-powered BRZ coupe Suzuki eVX Suzuki EVX. So let’s look at all the Tokyo debuts from the Japanese brands.
Alternative-fuel cars were some of the hottest items on display at the Shanghai auto show from homegrown companies like Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd., The battery-powered cars that Chinese companies are showing are intended to be much less expensive than those planned by big foreign companies.

That has to be looked at." ( Reuters ) 3/28/07 "Batteries are not yet an economic or efficient way of storing power.we still need to achieve considerably better battery performance before plug-ins become a truly viable proposition. Batteriespowerful enough to achieve that would fill up the trunk of a car, he said.
BMW’s Mini brand will go all-electric by 2030, report says – BMW’s Mini brand will go all-electric from 2030 as the automaker intensifies its transition to battery-powered vehicles, according to people familiar with the matter. – March 10, Politico.

Others have established firm deadlines for when internal-combustion engines will be phased out. Stages in Electrification.
The car runs on a battery-powered motor and requires no gasoline, oil or any fossil fuels for operation. The high car demand has emphasized the need to adopt EVs and clean up autoindustry emissions. For these three reasons, EVs will help the federal government achieve its zero-emission goal by the century’s midpoint.
on Chinese EVs are designed to protect its struggling autoindustry from Chinese competition, with Chinese automakers flooding the bloc with cheap imports. Reuters reports that automakers in China have now shifted gears and plan to export hybrid vehicles rather than EVs to Europe, all while planning more hybrid models for coming years.
