Japan electric vehicle industry develop progressive small achievements





Due to the electric vehicle in motion will not pollute the air, it does not produce greenhouse gases, the development of electric vehicles is becoming a major global automobile industry trends. Japan in this respect some success, but these results are obtained in step by step, which also has undergone setbacks. Development of electric vehicles from Japan, the electric vehicle industry develop overnight, must be gradual.

According to the Japan Dafa industrial company information provided to reporters, in Japan large automobile manufacturers, the company is the earliest start of electric vehicle research, its turning point was the 1960s automobile exhaust pollution to Tokyo and Osaka, and other large cities have serious social problems. Large corporation started in 1965 and incipiently KEPCO company with the help of the following year developed the use of improved lead-acid batteries for small electric motors.

Since the 1970s oil crisis and exhaust pollution issues, international trade and industry, leading the electric vehicle research and development work, almost all Japan domestic manufacturers are involved in the development of electric vehicles. But the lead storage battery weight and short life, this period of poor performance of electric cars more expensive, while at the same time as the subsequent oil crisis ends and automobile exhaust function in later had long electric vehicle competitiveness, and does not become the main means of transport.

Now, the electric vehicle is mainly used in Japan of amusement parks and Golf (Gallery Forum) Stadium, is also sometimes used as a forklift. In Tokyo, used to handling fishery fuel cell stack car is very famous.

In recent years, due to a lead-acid battery weight, as well as to large amounts of energy storage in the development of lithium batteries, electric vehicle competitiveness increase again. In addition, the Government of Japan to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, the emission reduction targets, also began to encourage the development of electric vehicles under the effort.

At present, is located in the Hokuriku electric power company in Toyama City in the Municipal Government to promote low-carbon society, developed Japan's first car to use lithium battery of the bus, and is ready to start the trial operation at the end of March. The Government of Japan to the project provides 1.6 billion yen (100 yen for approximately $ 1.13). At the same time, the Government of Japan to provide purchase offer electric vehicles, land transport, shall be exempt from the provisions on vehicle weight tax and purchase tax.

2008 summer International crude oil prices, gas prices rise, consumers on the electric car's awareness further promotion. In this case, the Japan Automobile manufacturers are increasingly attach importance to the development of electric vehicles. For example Toyota Motor Company pointed out that, as a substitute for petroleum energy, electricity is very important, electric cars are the future of important ecological car.

Currently, Japan has developed some of the more mature electric cars. For example, Japan Keio University in 2004 with 38 companies cooperation in the development of a speed of up to 370 km of electric vehicle "Eliica".

Mitsubishi Motors 2009 June announced the development of light electric vehicle "i-MiEV". It uses high-performance lithium battery that can run on a single charge, the charge to 160 km 7 hours, such as using fast charger, about 30 minutes to charge 80 percent.

But these electric cars still there prices too high, such as "i-MiEV" prices reached 459.9 million yen, even enjoy subsidies and concessions, ordinary consumers still unaffordable, Eliica price is up to 30 million yen.

Toyota Motor Corporation in the interview, noted that the driving distance short, lack of charging infrastructure and prices high has been the bottleneck of the development of electric vehicles. To do this, Toyota is making use of it in the development of hybrid vehicles in the accumulation of battery and motor control technology, electric cars as a tool for short-distance travel, want an early realization of commercialization.

2009 October, Toyota Motor Corporation in Tokyo Motor Show presents the electric vehicle concept car "FT-EV2" Toyota Motor Corporation believes that until the charging infrastructure improvement and high-performance next-generation battery appears, this car will be popular.

Japan concerned that, because of the high price of electric vehicles and related infrastructure are not complete, so there is still a "niche" goods. Electric car industry rapid development also requires time.
