If anything their low speed performance will be even better, while still delivering very significant fuel economy benefits and CO2 reduction. The project is being supported and funded by the Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC). —Guy Morris, CPT’s engineering director and chief technical officer.

ADEPT combines the two technologies, which have been demonstrated individually but not yet as an integrated system, applying the low voltage concept of ‘intelligent electrification’ for the first time to a diesel car. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components.

at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. lead-acid batteries have a far better recycling rate than even aluminum bottles — over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled. None of the new electric cars are planning to use old-tech lead acid batteries.
