At present, the global lithium-ion
laptop battery has become white-hot competition in the market, the market becoming increasingly saturated, an increase of slowing down. At the same time, with the energy and environmental pressures continue to increase, new energy, electric vehicles, rising voices, the Government’s policy to support electric vehicles are also increasing efforts from the development trend, the new energy vehicle development is undoubtedly the future of automobiles direction, while the car is the lithium battery of new energy vehicles, one of the core components.
At present, with the car’s lithium
dell batteries technology matured and prices declined, more and more consumers began to set our sights on electric vehicles, while manufacturers gradually to new energy for electric vehicles as the focus of future sales. At present, an increasing number of car manufacturers to choose energy lithium batteries as a new driving force for car batteries. At present many well-known car manufacturers are committed to the development of the use of lithium-ion power battery electric vehicles, such as the United States Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Hyundai, France Courreges, Ventury such.
Li-ion battery is behind the heat rate of cars-electric hybrid plug (also known as plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) and pure electric vehicle market recognition and R & D capability of their current concerns. Although Bosch points out that by the end of 2008, to keep a clear thermal electric cars, but even cool as Bosch, Samsung has also set up a joint venture, plans to achieve volume production and sales in 2011.
Japanese automotive lithium-ion
hp laptop battery industry alliances there Pattern
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, fight each other allies in order to beat each other. Not to be outdone, the other five countries, and Qi, Qin confrontation between the two countries from time to time, sometimes jointly. Conflict between major powers, more frequent diplomatic activities, a combined longitudinal and cross-linked struggle.
Automotive Li-ion battery industry as a result of very great value contains the potential of electric vehicles, battery materials upstream suppliers and downstream manufacturers of automotive lithium-ion battery business for the car has been spying on for a long time. Now, Japan’s electric vehicles on the middle and lower reaches of the three for their own purposes, a joint venture or each other for automotive lithium-ion battery business phenomenon, the pattern of the Warring States period and alliances are very similar strategy.
Such as Fuji Heavy Industries and NEC to develop low-cost monomer (Cell) Manganese
lithium-ion battery (that is, lithium manganese batteries
IBM ASM 92P1140 ,
IBM FRU 92P1137 ,
IBM FRU 92P1139 ); Following GS Yuasa Yuasa battery with Mitsubishi (Mitsubishi), Honda car to develop lithium battery technology development, manufacturing and distribution businesses for sale. Toyota (Toyota) on the Panasonic EV Energy funded from 40% to 60%, will be included in a subsidiary; Enax Germany Degussa Japan 50%, respectively, the investment in China Degussa Enax (Anqiu) Power Lion Technology Inc., the production of lithium-ion battery electrode and sales, the plant at the same time the production of electric cars with lithium-ion battery electrodes, and the supply of China, Europe and the United States to Japan and other countries.
Automotive Li-ion battery in Japan the world’s top companies
According to Deutsche Bank research shows that most are willing to vehicle 10 with the following car companies to develop lithium batteries: 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 co-operation with the mainland groups); 3) LG Chemical (The company has subsidiaries in the United States Compact Power); 4) EnerDel (Ener1 and Delphi joint venture); 5) AESC ( Nissan and NEC joint venture); 6) PEVE (Toyota and Panasonic joint venture); 7) GS Yuasa;

Hitachi; 9) Sanyo Electric; 10) Samsung.
Alternative energy sources and authoritative website Green Car Congress Forecast Michael Millikin, editor of the future, car manufacturers used lithium batteries “three” is: 1) PEVE, 2) AESC, 3) LG Chemical. Most of these suppliers and companies signed at least two vehicles, and several of the world’s major car companies in general to choose at least two suppliers of lithium batteries.
From the above study can be found, at present, Japan’s lithium battery suppliers in the global marketplace is indeed a large advantage.

Automotive Li-ion battery industry in Japan the latest developments and prospects
Japan’s “Economic News” recently reported that Japan will be Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry as the center of the external groups to develop programs, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Fuji Heavy Industries, Daihatsu, Yamaha 9 car , motorcycle production enterprises and Sanyo Electric, Hitachi, Matsushita Battery Industrial, pasona energy, GSYUASA such as battery manufacturers, along with Tokyo Electric Power Co., Japan Automobile Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry, Land, Infrastructure and Transport and other units will work together participate in the implementation of the pilot, the development of lithium batteries uniform specifications and safety standards. At the same time, charge will also be standardized manner.
According to Japan Automobile Research Institute estimated that by the popularity of hybrids is now estimated that by 2020 the hybrid in Japan will rise to about 3.6 million. If the high-performance lithium
sony batteries for more promotion, it is possible to further use to achieve the level of 7.2 million. Local media said that if Japan can be a new generation of automotive lithium batteries in the international standardization of access to opportunities to master certification initiative, related businesses will receive great benefits.
Car prices, battery manufacturers and research institutions to develop lithium-ion battery car, the Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry would have the benefit of the entire electric vehicle industry, the healthy and orderly development of industries to maximize cost reduction. The future, the Japanese automotive lithium-ion
Toshiba laptop battery industry will be out of chaos fragmentation, to the alliances the industry pattern of development, the core strength of agglutination rapid occupation of the global market.
