Top10 passenger car battery manufacturers in China
Electric passenger cars have developed rapidly in recent years, with increasing concerns about fossil fuel resources and urban air quality. In fact, electric passenger cars and light rail systems are not very new: New York and San Francisco adopted trams and electric passenger cars for public transportation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Application of lithium ion battery in public transportation
The application of electrification technology in public transport can effectively reduce fuel consumption. The average diesel mileage of a passenger car ranges from 5 to 10km per gallon, depending on the size, route and fuel quality of the passenger car. In this way, fuel will be the biggest cost of subsequent operation in addition to the purchase cost of the car.
According to the report, the average distance travelled by a passenger car is 64,000 km per year, and each passenger car consumes 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year, which is equivalent to 38,430 US dollars. The fuel cost for 10 passenger cars is nearly 400,000 US dollars per year. By introducing passenger cars with hybrid, plug-in or pure electric systems, fuel consumption in the public transport sector will be greatly reduced, such as 20% fuel savings for hybrid passenger cars and 50% fuel savings for plug-in hybrid passenger cars. That translates to an annual savings of $200,000 on fuel bills.
In addition, with the increase of urban population, private car ownership is increasing year by year, and urban congestion and environmental pollution are becoming increasingly serious. Therefore, it is urgent to vigorously develop public transport system. Many metropolises, such as San Francisco, New York, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, London and Paris, are now committed to developing their public transport systems, especially new energy transport systems.
There are more manufacturers of new energy passenger cars. For example, Proterra, an electric passenger car manufacturer, aims to provide efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly heavy vehicles. The development of electric or hybrid passenger cars is mainly through system integration, and the major manufacturers currently include Canada’s NewFlyer, Gillig, BYD, Wright passenger car, Volvo and Novapassenger car in the US. Zto, LIANfu, ZTO, etc. Figure 15.18 shows the Xcelsior electric passenger car produced by New Flyer.
The following points should be considered in the application of batteries in electric passenger cars. First, what kind of vehicle will the battery be used in, pure electric, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid? For pure electric vehicles, is quick charging necessary? If the passenger car or passenger car needs to be recharged frequently, can the lithium-ion battery accept frequent and fast charging? Is there a loss of battery capacity or life? The energy volume of the battery pack depends on the vehicle’s driving route, utilization rate and other special requirements.
The battery energy required by different electric vehicles is generally 75-300KH, and the voltage is generally 350-650V. Generally speaking, the battery size depends on the passenger car journey. If the passenger car battery can accept frequent quick charging without sacrificing its life and capacity, the volume and energy of the battery can be relatively small. This means that the weight and cost of electric vehicles can be relatively low.
In addition to the battery system, a hybrid passenger car includes an engine that runs on diesel or propylene, a fuel cell, or other thrusters. Like a small hybrid electric car, the battery is smaller than a pure electric car, but the passenger car battery is still much larger than a small private car.
In addition to passenger cars, most rail transport is also beginning to be electrified. Most diesel-powered locomotives are now combined with high-capacity lead-acid batteries to form hybrid systems. About 50% of the world’s light rail fleet is electrified, with some using lithium-ion battery packs to reduce emissions and improve performance. Now some special light rail applications, such as mining, underground tunnels, urban public transport, etc., are using batteries for power.
Finally, make a brief introduction to commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicles generally take more people, safety is extremely important. In the event of an accident, the accident cell is best isolated from the rest of the cell or battery components, and the passengers in the car must be isolated from the source of the accident.
