New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China
- Thread starter supercat
- Start date
Actually I believe this was a thinly disguised advertorial.
Obviously he is going to say something catchy to draw attention to himself and his employer.
I already read a long time ago that companies were trying to move away from rare earth permanent magnets...
In fact it is mentioned near the end of the article
Another Example:
MG is owned by SAIC, not Geely
Actually mentioned in the video as well
The MG revival is interesting because it was originally purchased by Nanjing motor after beating SAIC in bankruptcy bidding. SAIC originally wanted to buy MG and Rover brands (split from the more successful Land Rover), but was only able to buy the platforms and tooling (already considered outdated at the time). This lead to SAIC's alternate strategy of making up a European sounding name "ROEWE" for these cars. Nanjing meanwhile produced warmed over versions of these same cars under the MG brand.
Really showing the perseverance and long term goals of these Chinese car companies to just keep plugging away until they have something competitive. Quite similar to their counterparts in Japan and Korea.
How is this advantageous over trains?
In concept it sounds okay given they are more talking about last miles deliver not country wide, I kind of skimmed the video.
But for cross country I think cargo trains would be better.
FUZHOU, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL), China's largest automotive lithium-ion battery maker, signed a technology licensing and partnership agreement with Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd. (MOBIS) on Wednesday, granting its CTP (cell to pack) technology to the auto parts supplier from the Republic of Korea (ROK).
CATL will also support Hyundai MOBIS in the supply of CTP-related battery products in the ROK and globally, according to the agreement.
By directly integrating cells into packs without modules, CTP technology improves system energy density, simplifies manufacturing and helps reduce costs.
The partnership will enable both parties to sharpen their competitive edge by working together to develop more innovative technologies for the global electric vehicle (EV) market, CATL said in the statement.
The partnership also initiates a new model for global technology cooperation in the industry, and helps CATL to spread its battery technology worldwide.
Headquartered in Ningde, in east China's Fujian Province, CATL posted net profit growth of 131.45 percent in the first half of 2021 amid a booming new-energy vehicle (NEV) market. Enditem
They should be careful that Koreans are known for copying culture and technology and then claiming as their own.
Reaaly? Never heard of this.
Just leapfrog the internal combustion engine already @ansy1968
If Chinese EVs do well in Germany, where else can they not succeed?
Meanwhile, Japanese automakers are becoming skeptical of EVs. Though maybe they are interested in hydrogen FCEVs.
