Lithium-ion battery industry has become a hot competition in the field of new energy vehicles
Recently, Toyota Tsusho Corporation (hereinafter referred to Toyota Tsusho) and China CITIC Guoan Information Industry Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as CITIC Guoan) signed a letter of intent, the two sides will cooperate in production and sale of battery grade hp PB992A batterylithium carbonate and downstream products. Toyota Tsusho is the Toyota Group in automotive related business trading company; CITIC Guoan is a subsidiary of CITIC Group’s listed companies, now has the West taijnar Qinghai Salt Lake, an area of 570 square kilometers, is a liquid lithium-based mining large deposits of lithium carbonate in resources highlighted. This is a new signal that the competition has been a new energy vehicles advance to the upstream resources.
Toyota’s success and vigorously promoted in recent years, hybrid cars are inseparable, but the auto industry’s future seems to depend on pure electric car market development. The current battery technology is not yet mature, and pure electric vehicles matching is not perfect, the market is not yet the same as the hybrid car is a vast market. To avoid risks, the world’s major automakers are seeking partners to develop new solutions.
Electric and hybrid cars are the hot new energy vehicle development, most auto makers have considered the use of lithium batteries as a power battery electric vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries due to a price and capacity advantages, is considered following the Ni-MH battery power battery after the development direction of the world’s major manufacturers are all eager. Earlier this year the German government took out 500 million euros to finance research and development of electric vehicles. In which lithium-ion battery research and development funding cost of 59 million euros. Enacted in 2007, “high-tech strategy”, the German government has been the key technology of electric vehicles - lithium-ion batteries as tackling the project. Toyota had previously carried out in cooperation with Japan’s Sanyo Electric lithium-ion battery research and development,hp PB994A batteryHonda, GM and other companies with the Panasonic, A123 and other battery vendors, China’s BYD Auto is also self-developed lithium-ion batteries, lithium-ion battery industry has been become the new competition in a hot area of energy vehicles.
The development of electric vehicles, battery technology is the core power technology, but also determines the cost. The current of pure electric vehicles, battery-vehicle prices accounted for about 50% of the cost. According to industry optimistic forecasts that in the industrialization of pure electric vehicles, the battery-vehicle prices are still to be accounted for more than 20%, which is for the vehicle factory, is a very large, the profits pie.
Although the two sides reached a tentative co-operation only, but this shows that Toyota in the development of pure electric vehicles, not only wants to spread the risk of business cooperation with the upstream, more interested in sharing the upper reaches of the battery market profits. And this path, it may be the future of the automotive industry trends.
The development of electric vehicles, involving lithium resources, lithium-ion batteries, electric motors hp PP2182L batteryry manufacturers trend.
The cooperation with CITIC Guoan, for Toyota, the ability to obtain a stable and sustainable sources of supply. Once the breakthrough in battery technology, lithium resources will be more scarce resources. Access to reliable high-quality lithium resources will give Toyota a competitive edge in the future advantage.
