Currently, DLX is procuring and preparing the production equipment of Lithium Iron Phosphate, and plans to set up two new production lines with capacities of 500 tons per year to produce it. DLX plans to introduce lithium iron phosphate to the global electric automobile market at end of March 2009. DETROIT (Reuters) – General Motors Corp is pressing ahead with investment in a range of electric vehicles beyond its Chevy Volt even as the automaker slashes spending in other areas, sources with knowledge of the plan said. SHANGHAI – China’s BYD Co has signed up 10 distributors for its plug-in hybrid car in Europe ahead of its targeted entry into that market in 2010, a senior company executive said on Tuesday. Chinese manufacturer BYD is planning to have plug-in hybrid vehicles on sale in the U.S. by 2010, with similar ambitions for the European market. If the name BYD sounds familiar then it may be because of its notorious reputation as a copyright infringer, however its latest strategy doesn’t require originality to scare the likes of Toyota and GM. [...] ARGONNE, IL – Toyota Motor Corp. is moving ahead with plug-in hybrids, electrical vehicles and lithium-ion batteries, but it isn’t ready to abandon the tried and true, says one of the auto maker’s top researchers.

General Motors is planning to rebadge its Chevrolet Volt electric car as an Opel or Vauxhall to bring it to Europe as part of the US carmaker’s plans to expand the model range of its highly anticipated new vehicle. Argonne National Laboratory, near Lemont, is developing technology for such a car in order to reduce the country’s dependence on petroleum, said Dr. Donald Hillebrand, director of transportation research at Argonne. GE is teaming with Chrysler LLC to demonstrate technology called a dual-battery energy storage system. GE executives suggest that they are interested in supplying plug-in hybrid components to automakers. |
