Japanese car battery to weave and usher in the Warring States Period
At present, the global Li-ion battery has become white-hot competition in the market, Laptop Battery the market becoming saturated, growth slowed. Meanwhile, with the energy and environmental pressures continue to increase, new energy electric cars become louder and louder, national government policy support of electric vehicles has also increased, from the development trend, new energy vehicles is undoubtedly the future of automotive development direction, while the car battery is a new energy vehicles, one of the core components.
At present, with the maturity of automotive lithium battery technology and lower prices, more and more consumers began to look toward electric vehicles, while manufacturers are also moving to bring the new energy future sales of electric vehicles as a priority. At present, more and more car manufacturers to choose from lithium batteries as a new energy car battery power. At present many well-known car manufacturers are working to develop a lithium-ion power battery electric vehicles such as Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Hyundai, France, Courreges, Ventury so.
Li-ion battery is behind the hot car prices on the plug-in hybrids (also known as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) and pure electric vehicle market prospects of the recognition and R & D capabilities of their current concerns. While the Bosch stand out by the end of 2008, said to be electric cars on the heat to keep sober, but even cool, such as Bosch, has also set up JVC GR-DX300 battery a joint venture with Samsung plans to achieve volume production and sales in 2011.
Japanese cars lithium battery industry appears to weave the pattern of
Warring States period, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin Qi-Xiong side by side. The mid-Warring States period, Qi, Qin the most powerful between the two countries, East-West confrontation, competing for allies in an attempt to beat each other. The other five countries to be outdone, and Qi, Qin and sometimes confrontation between the two countries, sometimes jointly. Intensified conflict between major powers, diplomatic activities have become more frequent, there have been combined vertical and horizontal struggle.
Automotive Li-ion battery industry because of tremendous value inherent potential of electric vehicles, battery materials upstream suppliers and downstream manufacturers of automotive lithium batteries for automotive operations have been tiptoeing around a long time. Now, Japan's electric car on the middle and lower reaches of their respective constituents for the purpose of the emergence of joint ventures or mutual competition for automotive lithium-battery business phenomenon, its pattern and the Warring States period to weave JVC GR-DX45 battery strategy very similar.
Such as Fuji Heavy Industries, and NEC to develop low-cost monomer (Cell) Manganese lithium-ion battery (ie, lithium manganese batteries); Following GS Yuasa Yuasa batteries separately with Mitsubishi (Mitsubishi), Honda co-developing automotive lithium battery technology development, sell manufacturing and distribution businesses. Toyota (Toyota) on the Panasonic EV Energy funded from 40% to 60%, be included in a subsidiary; Enax Germany Degussa and Japan respectively to 50% in China, funded the establishment of Degussa Enax (Anqiu) Power Lion Technology Inc., producing lithium-ion battery electrode and sales, the plant also produces lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles electrode, and supplies to China, Europe and the United States Japan and other countries.
Japanese car company the world's top-ranking lithium batteries
According to Deutsche Bank research shows that vehicle the following JVC GR-DX37 battery 10 companies most willing to work with companies to develop automotive lithium battery: 1) Johnson Controls-Saft (the United States and France, Johnson Controls and Saft joint venture); 2) A123 Systems, Inc. (from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology College, General Electric and other investors to set up the company's group of co-operation with the mainland); 3) LG Chemical (the company's U.S. subsidiary Compact Power); 4) EnerDel (Ener1 and Delphi joint venture); 5) AESC ( Nissan and NEC joint venture); 6) PEVE (a joint venture between Toyota and Matsushita); 7) GS Yuasa; 8) Hitachi; 9) Sanyo Electric; 10) Samsung.
Alternative energy sources and authoritative website Green Car Congress editor Michael Millikin predict the future, vehicle manufacturers of lithium batteries the "big three" are: 1) PEVE, 2) AESC, 3) LG Chemical. Most of these suppliers have contracted with at least two vehicle companies, while the world's major automobile companies are usually several options for at least two lithium battery supplier.
From the above study can be found, at present, the Japanese lithium battery suppliers in the global market indeed account for a large JVC GR-DX35K battery advantage.
Japanese lithium battery production enterprises and product analysis
Recently, the investment adviser "issued by 2009-2012 China Li-ion battery industry investment analysis and forecast, report" a research report, the global automotive lithium battery production enterprises are mainly over 20, while Japan is walking in the governments around the world, the United States of A123, Johnson Controls (Johnson Controls); China's BYD, South Korea's LG Chemical, but only in Japan there are Toshiba, Hitachi, NEC (NEC), GS Yuasa, Toyota Motor and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.

Japanese cars lithium battery industry, latest developments and prospects
Japan's "Economic News" recently reported that the Japanese will be the Japanese economy, Trade and Industry as the center of the external groups to develop programs, Japan, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Fuji Heavy Industries, Daihatsu, Yamaha, 9 cars, motorcycle manufacturing enterprises and Sanyo Electric, Hitachi, Ltd., Matsushita Battery Industrial, pasona energy, GSYUASA companies, battery manufacturers, along with Tokyo Electric Power Co., Japan Automobile Research Institute, Economic, Trade and Industry, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry and other units will participate in a pilot to develop uniform specifications and safety standards for lithium batteries. Meanwhile, the charging method will also be JVC BN-V306 battery standardized.
According to Japan Automobile Research Institute is expected, according to the popularity of hybrids is now estimated that by 2020, hybrid car in Japan will reach about 360 million. If the high-performance lithium battery for more promotion, usage is likely to further reach 7.2 million level. Media critics said that if Japan can be a new generation of automotive lithium batteries to obtain ISO certification opportunities to master the initiative, and the enterprises will benefit immensely.
Car prices, battery manufacturers and research institutions to jointly develop automotive lithium batteries, the Japanese economy, Trade and Industry would benefit the entire electric vehicle industry, the healthy and orderly development of industries to maximize the cost reduction. Future,JVC BN-V20 battery the Japanese car battery industry will be chaos out of fighting each other to weave the pattern of industrial development of core strength agglutination rapid occupation of the global market.
