[Ningde Times is developing a new type of power battery, cobalt-free, nickel-free and low-cost] 2020 China Automobile Forum opened in Shanghai. Meng Xiangfeng, assistant to the chairman of Ningde Times, said at the meeting that Ningde Times is developing a new type of power battery. the battery will be cobalt-and nickel-free. We all know that nickel and cobalt are key components in electric vehicle batteries. But battery makers from Japan's Panasonic to South Korea's LG Chemical are reducing the proportion of cobalt used in nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) batteries or nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) batteries because of high costs. Tesla's boss, Elon Musk (Elon Musk), last month urged miners to produce more nickel and warned that current battery costs remain a major obstacle to the company's development. And if the Ningde era of new battery manufacturing success, low cost will be their great advantage. However, Meng Xiangfeng did not introduce the cost of the new battery at the meeting.
Toyota is reportedly working with scientists at (the University of Kyoto) of Kyoto University in Japan to develop a new type of fluorine-ion battery, which has about seven times the energy per unit weight of conventional lithium-ion batteries and allows electric vehicles to have a range of up to 1000 kilometers, it is reported that Toyota is working with scientists at Kyoto University in Japan to develop a new type of fluorine-ion battery, which has about seven times the energy per unit weight of conventional lithium-ion batteries. At present, the team has developed a prototype of the rechargeable battery. The battery uses solid electrolyte, the anode is made of fluorine, copper and cobalt, and the cathode is mainly made of lanthanum.
[Northvolt gets a $525 million loan guarantee from Germany to lay the foundation for a partnership with Volkswagen] Swedish battery maker Northvolt has reportedly received a $525 million loan guarantee from the German government to build a pilot plant. Northvolt, founded by two former Tesla executives, has raised more than $3 billion of bonds and capital in Sweden for production in Sweden, with a planned core capacity of about 40GWh. The company says it aims to capture 25 per cent of the European battery market. At present, the market is mainly dominated by Asian companies, including South Korea's LG Chemical, Samsung and China's Ningde era.
[Geely's half-yearly examination: the net profit has dropped by nearly half. The development of new energy vehicles has an obvious disadvantage] "in the first half of the year, Geely's geometric car sales plunged 72% compared with 2019, while new energy and electrified vehicle sales as a whole plummeted 49%." . COVID-19 epidemic is accelerating the reshuffle of the automobile industry, and the simultaneous decline in sales and revenue is a common phenomenon in the automobile industry, and 0175.HK is no exception, especially its disadvantage in the development of new energy vehicles.
According to the media, Matthias Schmid, an independent car analyst in Berlin, Germany, said that the European market sold 500000 pure electric vehicles ((BEV)) and plug-in hybrid vehicles ((PHEV),) in the first seven months of 2020, 14000 more than China's electric vehicles in the same period. At this rate, more than 1 million electric vehicles will be sold in Europe this year.
[Tesla Austin Super Factory has started foundation construction of the first batch of pile drivers] it is reported that at present, Tesla's super factory in Austin has started the foundation construction of the factory building, and the first batch of pile drivers have also entered the field. In the second-quarter results released on July 22nd, Tesla revealed that the address of their next superfactory in the United States had been selected and was preparing for construction. At a subsequent earnings Q & A session, CEO Musk announced that the superfactory would be built near Austin, Texas.
[BAIC / Weilai led the review of the first domestic power exchange standard] A few days ago, the recommended national standard of GB/T "Electric vehicle Power Exchange Safety requirements" (hereinafter referred to as "requirements"), which was drafted by BAIC New Energy, Ulai and China Automotive Center, passed the review. According to the standard, by analyzing the differences of different technical schemes, the actual operation scene and operation data of the vehicle, the "requirements" stipulate the minimum number of power changes of 5000 times (snap type) and 1500 times (bolt type) respectively, to ensure the safety of users when changing electricity during the design life of the vehicle.
"2020 (second) China Automotive New Materials Application Summit Forum"
It was solemnly held in Shanghai from September 17 to 18.
During the reform period of the "four modernizations of the automobile", intelligent network connection, new energy, lightweight and intelligent manufacturing entered the field of the automobile industry, and the automobile era was reinterpreted. The surging changes require the industry to continue to integrate and innovate, and quickly promote the development rate of automobile enterprises. With the emergence of self-driving and intelligent cars, Internet companies, which are not active in the automotive field, have more opportunities to show their talents; the double points policy is becoming an important driving force for the development of China's new energy vehicle industry; in the face of environmental constraints, car companies speed up the application of advanced lightweight components and technologies to achieve vehicle weight loss. With the continuous promotion of the strategies of "Industrial 4.0" and "made in China 2025", intelligent manufacturing has become a new challenge of upgrading and transformation.
Under the guidance of the Shanghai Economic and Informatization Commission and the Shanghai Federation of Industrial economy, in order to accelerate the application of automobile lightweight and product lines, the Shanghai Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, together with Shanghai Automotive Engineering Society, Suzhou Die casting Technology Association and SMM, jointly held the "2020 (second) China Automotive New Materials Application Summit Forum". Jointly discuss material solutions, co-casting automobile industry chain green development closed loop, and strive to build an excellent communication and cooperation platform for the whole automobile industry chain, and lead the creation of advanced automobile industry clusters.
