Tata Technologies displays eMO low-cost city EV engineering study at Detroit Show

Green Car Congress

Based upon research of city/urban usage, eMO has the flexibility—with rear seats articulated—to do double-duty as a personal cargo carrier, without the mass and cost of a dedicated trunk. We are positioned to set the pace in automotive product development and technological innovation. —Kevin Fisher.

LeMond Carbon obtains independent verification of its carbon fiber rapid oxidation technology

Green Car Congress

My team and I are excited to bring our high-performance low-cost carbon fiber to the global market, and look forward to expanding into new markets where the current high cost of carbon fiber has been a significant barrier to adoption. —Greg LeMond, founder and chairman of the board of LeMond Carbon.

PNNL team develops higher-strength, lower-cost titanium alloy aimed at improving vehicle fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

However, wide scale adoption of β-titanium alloys in transportation applications has been limited due to its high cost. The cost of β-titanium alloys can be lowered by replacing the expensive β stabilizers such as Mo, Cr and V (in full or in part) by low cost Fe such as the case in Ti–1Al–8V–5Fe (Ti-185) alloy introduced in 1960s.

Wildcat Discovery Technologies is building a US plant for LFP cathode and next-gen battery materials

Charged EVs

We see DRX as a breakthrough for the battery industry. From a performance standpoint, it’s made from mostly abundant and available low-cost materials. We have more to do on the testing, but it looks like this is going be a clean, safe, higher-energy, low-cost material for the high end of the EV market.

Montana Company Licenses Lawrence Livermore Zinc Air Fuel Cell Technology

Green Car Congress

In a 1995 paper, Cooper noted that the cost of the recovery unit is small compared with the cost of the battery because it operates continuously and hence at a lower power level than the battery. In addition, it lacks the expensive air electrode of the zinc/air battery, adding to the lower cost of the ZAFC solution.

CMU study finds that HEVs and PHEVs with small battery packs offer more emissions and oil displacement benefits per dollar spent than large pack PHEVs and BEVs; policy implications

Green Car Congress

To answer this question, we gathered data on (i) the quantity and location of emissions released from tailpipes and from upstream processes to produce and operate vehicles, (ii) the externality costs of damages caused by the release of these emissions, and (iii) estimates of externalities and other costs to the US associated with oil consumption.
