To make electric cars a clear roadmap for electric public leaders





" Future, mass car heart also will build on the power to beat. Volkswagen will bring electric vehicle development to a new height. " Volkswagen group , Chairman of the Board of Directors (Gallery Forum) Wende en recently said, Volkswagen has a detailed and executive power of the medium-and long-term plans for electric vehicles, VW plans production electric Golf version (Gallery Forum) and U P models. According to the mass of the global plan, 2011, VW will launch a 500 electric test fleet consisting of golf. But it is expected that from 2013 onwards, the Volkswagen brand of hybrid Golf and Jetta (Gallery Forum) becomes public to grab the new energy markets of the main models.

At the same time from Volkswagen China stated that, in the days before the opening of the Geneva Motor Show debut of mass hybrid version turui (Gallery Forum) August this year in China market. This will also be Volkswagen in China in first true sense of the "new energy" models.

 Mass in new energy fields no longer conservative

Though as early as last may on with battery manufacturer BYD signed a in hybrid and electric vehicle areas (lithium-ion battery driven) Memorandum of cooperation. However until March this year, Volkswagen was officially announced a four-year development plan for electric vehicles.

"Volkswagen first gathered themselves in this area of technology, and then to steady. "Volkswagen Chairman Wende en said," Volkswagen will gradually bring electric vehicle production. ”

According to the plan, 2011, VW will launch 500 electric golf to expand test fleet; August 2012, the public will be in the United States market first hybrid version of the Jetta; 2013 August will be the first hybrid version Passat (Gallery Forum) , in October of the same year, Volkswagen will release a hybrid version of golf. The same year, the electric version U P will also be put into mass production, and further production electric Edition golf. At the same time, the end of 2013, VW will launch the electric version of the Jetta. In subsequent years, Volkswagen will take power-driven modular tools to systematically to electric drive technology applied to the other cars.

Mass in new energy fields no longer conservative. "Our goal is to become the electric vehicle market 2018. We hope that Volkswagen series models can occupy the electric vehicle market with a market share of 3%. "Wende en said.

  Electric power will coexist with traditional

From Volkswagen's current technology, the production of electric cars can reach 150 km of short-haul traffic. In order to increase the security testing, Volkswagen Group brands in Europe, North America and China, and other important strategic market launched an extensive field research.

During the transition phase, Volkswagen in pure electric vehicles prior to universal, "we will work through volume production of hybrid electric vehicles to market", Wende en said, "the future of Volkswagen's heart will beat with electricity. "But in the medium term, power-driven vehicles with internal combustion engine vehicles will also exist. "Volkswagen Group electric CTO K arl-Thom as Dr. ann N eum.

In fact, restrict Volkswagen from traditional power step forward to new energy electric power of critical factors is the battery of security issues and manufacturing and cost recovery, while at the same time also includes , Toyota Mitsubishi , Nissan , BYD, global electric vehicle manufacturers facing two major challenges.

"A possible worst case is the effect of thermal breakdown, battery internal short circuit may lead to a series of chain reaction, resulting in overheating or fire. This phenomenon is already in the mobile phone, laptop or other

Mobile devices, each of the 5 million to 10 million battery which can occur with such incidents. But in those that lack of battery production experience of manufacturers products, this proportion will increase further. "As the United States a technology company of battery experts, Bennett said, a laptop battery is 6-cell and battery electric vehicles will be 75-80-core, this technical change makes the battery electric vehicles are more prone to short circuit, causing more serious consequences.

 Pure electric vehicle safety issues remain the key

"In fact, in the laboratory safety of lithium batteries do not have any technical difficulties, many automobile companies already have the full experience. "Toyota Hybrid project leader Honorable saga recently said," in security issues, the biggest trouble is if to mass production, we have a 100% guarantee that each product is secure. "In order to not appear inferior, producers must be carefully designed building in battery production line, and this undoubtedly will raise costs.

Even if the battery is good, the other parts of electric vehicle can also be a security risk for monitoring power storage and release of car control system also may panic. But with mobile phone battery up to two years of life compared to electric vehicle battery must adhere to the 10 years. "Therefore, mobile phone battery and laptop battery will in a short time after the aging, the charge appears insufficient, and the design of automotive batteries must be kept for longer periods of full charging status. "The rise of the River wise.

And for vehicle battery manufacturing and recycling costs, China Automotive Technology Center for electrical vehicle Chief expert told reporters calculate a sum, the current domestic top battery manufacturers can support vehicle speed of 120 km of a group of six batteries, in a fully balanced work, generally only use 10 million km, and this group battery manufacturing costs about $ 10 million. At the same time, the entire industry for the automotive lithium battery does not have a good recovery.

Battery cost is still high, the production process caused by environmental pollution and no proper recovery has become a traditional automobile manufacturers from the internal combustion engine step into electric stage bottlenecks.
