Iron battery electric vehicle future path
2009 China Automotive Industry Development International Forum, and I met twice Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD Company Limited. He was in a small area of discussion and public speaking are two occasions, different attitudes, so I was somewhat surprised.
The afternoon of September 5, the Forum in order to sub-venues form. The theme of “China’s auto market in the next five years, dell Latitude D830 battery new opportunities” VIP Roundtable has incurred a number of executives to participate in car prices. This is a closed-door discussion, the majority of the media staff have been blocked off at the meeting.
Less disturbed the media, the participating executives behaved more relaxed than normal years to discuss the atmosphere thick. Wang Chuanfu, chairman of the discussion makes no mention of electric cars, BYD only talked about developments in the field in the traditional automotive some of my feelings. BYD electric cars has always been proud of the technology crystallization Wang Chuanfu and BYD executives whom beating the drums on many public occasions. By promoting its own electric vehicle technology, BYD’s brand reputation and visibility is rapidly increasing, many consumers and therefore recognize the autonomy of this young car brand, and even as far away as the United States, Warren Buffett had its eye relative to the other to be dell 75UYF battery, dell C1295 battery , a cost of 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy 225 million shares BYD shares.
From its 2003 acquisition of Qinchuan car So far, BYD entered the automotive industry is only six years, and its brand, many peers breathtaking speed. If there is no electric cars that focus on public opinion to help, I am afraid that some domestic consumers still do not know “BYD” in the name means.
Electric cars are BYD is so important, why Wang Chuanfu is no longer highlighted in the discussion? Is BYD development “iron battery” car’s confidence shaken? With the answers to these questions soon. The next day, Wang Chuanfu appear in the forum of the General Assembly field, titled “electric car consumption several issues that need urgent solution,” speech. He always stressed the advantages of BYD electric cars, and called on the Government introduced measures to encourage car makers to promote electric vehicles. The historic perception of that Wang Chuanfu seems to come back.
On the surface, Wang Chuanfu still even behind the BYD electric cars, but the industry is not difficult to find careful, recently, he was on many public occasions that the frequency of electric vehicles significantly reduced. This time, he did not mention a pride in the “iron battery”, but to mention a number of lead and aluminum phosphate battery.
At this forum, the Toyota Motor Corporation Senior Managing Director Akira Sasaki said that in the United States to make a choice, the Toyota convinced that a new generation of plug-in hybrid cars the most realistic car environment core technologies. Lithium batteries are widely regarded as a new generation of automotive power systems the best solution, Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association has said that the Secretary-General Yan Jun Wu Guang, lithium batteries in energy density and so restricted, dell GD761 battery, dell KD476 battery unable to meet the Japanese government in 2030 the performance of electric vehicles requirements, “the need to develop new battery.” Is BYD has recently been some sort of epiphany, has quietly changed its technical route?
May be the other side of things. Hi-Tech Fair in Shenzhen in 2007 during the BYD Auto release the world’s first “iron battery”, and announced that the “iron battery” technology has matured and can be commercially available. In December 2008, BYD F3DM dual-mode electric vehicle market, initially selling only to corporate users. Although the products have been available, but for the “iron battery” technology content, BYD reticent about the absolute secrecy is not only the external and internal staff were also very few know the details of that. Fu Shishu senior experts in the industry have pointed out, to date, China has developed various types of electric vehicle battery power, no one has done in accordance with international standards, testing ISO/TC2 2/SC21 identified and agreed to.
The “iron cell” electric vehicles poor sales, but also BYD to talk about a major cause of weakening. BYD persons concerned have introduced, F3DM only up to 17 million from the manufacturing cost price of only 14.9 million, selling cars is a money-losing. F3DM than the F3 expensive of 8 million yuan, market acceptance can be imagined. 1 July this year, BYD F3DM dual-mode electric vehicle is only sold 31. According to plan, F3DM will begin by the end of September this year, for the average consumer sales. Difficult to solve the cost problem, BYD to large-scale promotion of electric vehicles, dell Latitude D520 battery is clearly not realistic. It is undeniable that at this stage to promote electric vehicles, the difficulties are many. Government incentives are not in place, and the supporting infrastructure is not sound, even with new automotive development technical route, there are differences between the views of all parties.
“Iron battery” does not sell well, but the BYD’s head is put on a dazzling aura. By promoting the “iron cell” electric cars, BYD has won the “Name”; in electric vehicle technology leadership aura of “blessing”, it’s traditional car sales surge, BYD has won the “real.” 1 July this year, BYD sold 208.5 thousand vehicles, an increase of 183%. From the production and marketing in terms of scale, BYD Auto is in the fast-rising channel, which naturally is the traditional car credit, rather than the valuable commodity of the “iron cell” electric vehicle credit.
BYD will promote the focus on the field of electric vehicles, but a huge harvest in the traditional automotive market. In last year’s China’s auto industry development in international forums, Wang Chuanfu express the desire to build a pure electric car, the audience an old expert pointed out: “BYD-made electric car is shouting, dell Inspiron B130 battery do not sell or traditional car?”
