New energy automotive industry in recent years as hot spots, and no economic “cold Winter ” and not pre-shrunk. In the just concluded “2009 North American International Auto Show”, the hybrid or pure electric cars is a new town. As we all know, no matter whether it is hybrid, pure electric, or fuel cell-powered vehicles of new energy sources, they require a greater battery capacity to store energy, release the driving force. Therefore, car manufacturers, in order to truly win the battle of new energy victory, but also need to have the battery power of this important resource. In fact, many international auto giant has already a big way, “Happy enclosure”, with apple laptop battery suppliers set up factories or joint ventures to establish strategic cooperative relations.
The Big Three U.S. automakers to take the lead in the promotion of global procurement instead of the traditional “self” type of internal support. Battery power, although the Big Three U.S. automakers are not directly invest and build factories, but also through strategic co-operation of the apple a1175 to build a solid alliance. Recently, General Motors announced in the North American International Auto Show, LG Chemical Co., Ltd. will become the Chevrolet Volt extended range electric car a dedicated global supplier of lithium batteries. Prior to this, General Motors also CompactPower (LG Chemical U.S. subsidiary), and LG Chemical Co., Ltd. signed a joint development agreement to accelerate the Volt lithium battery technology used in R & D progress.
Hybrid technology as a global leader, Toyota Motor as early as December 1996 with Matsushita Electric Industrial and Matsushita Battery Industrial Company is a joint venture energy company Matsushita Electric Vehicles (PEVE), the production of nickel-metal hydride apple a1185 or lithium batteries and other environmentally-friendly vehicles battery. After the middle of last year after the investment yield, PEVE vehicle battery production expected in 2007 to about 50 million units in 2011 to 100 million units.
April 2007, Nissan and NEC Group set up a joint venture AESC. In May last year, AESC shareholders announced a production car with lithium-ion apple m8403 plans. In December last year, Nissan and NEC statement will be 1 year ahead of the implementation of production planning, investment more than 1000 billion yen, respectively, in Japan and Europe and the United States to build new factories to ensure that the lithium-ion battery output in 2011 reached after the supply of 200,000 the level of car use.
December 17 last year, Honda Motor and GS Yuasa (GSYuasa) jointly announced that the two sides set up the registered capital of ¥ 15,000,000,000 joint venture to produce hybrid using lithium batteries. At the same time, Honda said that the currently used nickel metal hydride batteries from Sanyo Electric will continue the two companies and Panasonic procurement. It is said that before hand Honda, GS has been with Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi set up a joint venture “LithiumEnergyJapan”, engaged in a purely electric vehicle R & D and production of lithium apple powerbook g4,powerbook g4 15inch battery,apple a1012 ,apple m8244 , apple a1079 , apple a1078 , apple a1148.
