the national and foreign automakers have developed electric vehicles when mass production schedule, a secret document revealed transnational companies in the industry on the development of the vehicle.
In early March, a number of multinational auto giants by the chairman of the board co-signed “to jointly promote the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles memorandum” appears to the public, have signed the memorandum: Daimler-Chrysler, Ford General Motors (Opel), Honda, Toyota, Hyundai - Kia and Renault - Nissan, etc. 7 Transnational Automotive Group and alliances. This means that in promoting the industrialization of electric vehicles, businesses Cross as in fuel cell vehicles to reach some consensus.
In China, the voice of the industry fuel cell vehicles are also higher. April 9th South China University of Technology Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Professor Liao Shijun technological innovation of the battery in 2010 in China (Shanghai) The forum said the current cost of the laboratory hydrogen fuel cell is 7,000 yuan per kilowatt, “the level of internal battery technology to hydrogen fuel in the global market leader, to meet industry requirements.”
U.S. dollars from 9000 to 7000 yuan
Currently, hydrogen fuel cells has been the extent of access to Europe and Japan, Korea and other countries and regions, the family was prepared for hot water systems and electric fields, the overall market grew by 30%, but due to manufacturing costs, durability and stability and hydrogen systems, problems of supply of hydrogen fuel cells in the promotion of the automotive industry has not been smooth.
Innovation Forum in battery technology gap, Professor Shijun Liao told the “Daily Economic News” interview, said: “South China University of hydrogen fuel cells are breaking the first two difficulties, the current cost of the laboratory per kilowatt hydrogen fuel cell 7000 yuan, the cost of battery life is also greatly improved considerably reduced, which in principle can meet the commercial. ” vgp-bps9
The first years, some research institutions abroad, said the hydrogen fuel cell cost U.S. $ 9,000 per kilowatt, the life of 1200 hours for the fuel cell vehicles are seen as the highest threshold of vehicles new energy.
“At the time, these research institutions overseas the cost of hydrogen fuel cell is 9000 U.S. dollars per kilowatt, we want the cost to 9000 yuan, the effect is not the same.” Shi- June Liao recalls the scene in the original research project launched. He said that the current South China Institute of Technology to design a series of 12 kilowatts of hydrogen fuel cells, have been able to run 8 hours without interruption, life of 3000 hours.
Shi-Jun Liao calculations journalists, “general car to reach 80 km / h is 35 kilowatts of power needed for a cost of 40-kilowatt fuel cell laboratory is 28 million, with grants from the State, the market should be huge. ”
Industrialization is not out of reach?
According to reports, China has already adopted the materials for fuel cell hydrogen.
In 2000, the Department has invested 880 million yuan on the project of pure electric vehicles is the famous “863 major projects planned electric car.” vgp-bps8
In 2001, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zi-Feng Ma, vice president of the Institute chaired the Shanghai Jiaotong University, Pan-Asian Group, and two power treaty signed investment institutions, research and joint development new energy vehicles, a fuel cell to produce the first vehicle and a range of 300 km.
In 2006, the “863″ Project of the research project re-orientation of the electric vehicle “research on energy conservation” and new energy vehicles, “the point of the research study to management energy savings from official sources and energy alternatives.
“Hydrogen Energy meet demand is a new alternative energy, energy efficiency of fuel cells more than 80%, emissions standards are zero emission, electric cars or grid electricity use in the addition of coal-generated electricity “based, Zi-Feng Ma said that hydrogen was considered a real clean energy.
The current crop of new energy vehicles in alternative fuel vehicles, electric cars, hybrid, fuel cell electric vehicles, and many other categories, Zi-Feng Ma believes that hybrid and pure electric vehicles is a solution temporary vehicle fuel cell energy is the most new best solution, hydrogen is replaced by oil, “the new oil.” a1175
The timing of the industrialization of the hydrogen future, Zi-Feng Ma cited a case in 2006, Shanghai Jiaotong University, 15 million of funding to the state of hydrogen fuel cell bus, the actual cost of a quarter funding. “The coach has a good power and durability, this point of view, the industrialization of fuel cell vehicles is not far.”
The sources, National Development and Reform Commission published the draft policy on the family’s second vehicle to raise taxes, to encourage industry development of new energy automotive, government can subsidize vehicles top fuel cell, the highest subsidies possible at 500,000 yuan per vehicle.
