Last Mile EV Delivery In The Philippines Boosted By Battery Swapping Partnership

CleanTechnica EVs

Electric 2-wheelers have been part of the last-mile transportation in the Philippines since 2006 when the first electric bicycles and scooters came in from China. These vehicles were however, low mileage, and high maintenance using heavy lead acid batteries for power.

Ricardo/TRL report on improving GB diesel rail fuel efficiency recommends two tech packages for implementation, including gas exchange system and idle stop/start

Green Car Congress

This includes the addition of a new stop/start lead-acid battery system; gas exchange system upgrade; and a new 30 kW lightweight diesel genset , e.g. for cabin air conditioning. It has a payback period of 3 years for the intercity duty cycle and could save up to 5 million liters of diesel per year.

New “convection battery” could significantly increase performance of existing as well as new, improved battery chemistries

Green Car Congress

For instance, higher power output is possible with the flow (reported to 500 mA/ cm 2 ) of electrolyte when one of the reagents is stored in the electrolyte. For these high-power output batteries, the flow of electrolyte also facilitates heat removal. He is the co-author of the book entitled “Sustainable Nuclear Power”.
