Charging pile instead of beautiful new energy cars into the protagonist of the North American auto show





比亚迪 F6 2.0 舒适型 实拍

Yesterday's closing of North American motor show, let people see a new wave of energy that is so strong. Almost all manufacturers of booth are located in the new energy vehicles, in which you want to find a traditional fuel car becomes difficult.

At the motor show of last day, Toyota has revealed to the outside world will be more productive to transfer to the United States local plan. With the United States economy overall warming, Toyota plans to Mississippi a factory production it is market leading Prius (Gallery Forum) hybrid cars. As the world's largest automotive manufacturers, Toyota is trying to face defeat in the near future a turnaround after the fight.

In fact, as the world's first automotive export country, Japan's exchange rate turbulence cheqi in 2008, its loss. The production base is moved to North America, in hybrid cars expansion spree avoiding exchange rate fluctuations.

Toyota expressed the hope that the next five years for United States customers with a range of traditional and alternative models of diesel locomotives, including the highly successful in Toyota's third generation Prius models, 2015 launch rechargeable hybrid cars, electric vehicles and fuel cell hybrid vehicle. Currently, Toyota in Mississippi plant has not yet been completed.

In 2008, substantial losses in North America, prepare for expansion plans is a bold move. As of August 2009, the global cumulative sales of Prius 200 million, of which 115 000 vehicles for North America sales, but accelerated growth trend has been evident. Toyota original plan in 2010, so that hybrid cars by annual shipments reach 1 million units, with North American expansion, this goal seems to be in a stone's throw away.

Relative to the Toyota can be plugged in new energy vehicle availability, other manufacturers to be radical. Of these, from China announced that BYD to E6 electric car will be inserted in the second half of this year and sold in the United States open.

BYD is to participate in the North American auto show only domestic automobile manufacturers. This North American tour, with its Investor Warren Buffett has ・ serious relationship, after all, the latter would like Berkshire-Hathaway investors at the gates of the exhibition, see investment object.

In the United States to sell electric cars, its harsh standard still a test. Although the BYD E6 price was not published, but the battery data casting doubt on this car on the road to success. Battery weight 250 kg, energy 60 kWh mileage, cruising (Gallery Forum) 328 km, life of 10 years.

As with BYD is European producers of radicalism, missed the first round of development of the hybrid cars of strategic opportunity, European producers seem to be completely disillusioned from diesel strategy. Mass , Audi , Volvo , BMW have launched a new product, they either use pure electric, either use plug electric technology.

Le = "TEXT-INDENT: 2em" at odds with past exhibition > is that almost all electric cars are as next to the beautiful charging pile are replaced, a long wires sticking out of the car's front face, the back side, etc. Vendors in the publicity the 100 kilometers acceleration, time, charging time, technical indicators, stealthily hiding from another data-new car prices.
