Battery and fuel cell vehicles cost reduction is critical, reflecting their long-term vision.
Development of fuel cells and electric-powered cars are Mercedes, “Blue performance green strategy” The third step is the ultimate goal of its development. 2009 Detroit Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz concept car on display Blue ZERO series, which uses lithium battery technology, E-CELL, using fuel cell technology, F-CELL and the use of internal combustion engine to add power generation technology, E-CELL PLUS, three car of life are up to 200 km distance, 400 km and 600 km. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz has started to market the world’s first production fuel cell vehicles – B Class F-CELL fuel cell vehicles and the smart fortwo electric vehicle and other new energy vehicles, can achieve zero emissions.
It is worth noting, Mercedes and other auto giants in the reduction of battery and fuel cell vehicles to the cost of some effective attempts. For example, the Mercedes-Benz cars in some new energy standard components (such as battery pack and hydrogen tank) can be used to the size of a completely different car, simply follow the changes in demand related to the number of components can be achieved. The development of this modular concept of the platform with the traditional internal combustion engine vehicles similar strategy can effectively reduce costs.
In addition, Daimler and BYD has signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a joint venture in China for the Chinese market electric vehicles. According to Mercedes-Benz technical experts, BYD’s battery technologies, electric drive Mercedes-Benz technology, China’s huge market will create cooperation. Reporter that BYD is the intention of cooperation with Daimler built on the electric vehicle market, both pre-judgment on the development prospects, but also control the R & D costs for the needs of both sides.
MOST electric vehicles in the major projects identified in order to fuel cell vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles are three models for the “three vertical” and “three vertical and three horizontal” research and development layout. We should note that the “three vertical” line is actually Mercedes outlined the “blue performance green strategy”, BMW’s “Efficient Dynamics strategy” and have a lot to the collision between a spark. This is not a coincidence, but a hundred years after the development of automobile industry and must go through the transformation direction.
What is gratifying is that, at present, such as domestic SAIC Automotive Group has set up their own vehicles into the system, new energy development plan, and even the joint venture, Shanghai GM, have been made in the “Green Future” into the system, such as energy conservation development strategy. For China’s auto industry, auto industry can seize the new century, the transformation and upgrading of historic opportunity, but also on more long-term enterprise has no vision and broader horizons.
