The European Advanced Lead-Acid Battery Consortium (EALABC) is delivering a paper this week outlining the consortium’s approach to 48V hybridization at the 2 nd International Conference on Advanced Automotive 48V Power Supply Systems in Düsseldorf. The Valeo electric supercharger was developed in the UK by Controlled Power Technologies.

The vehicles were part of the ALABC display at the Advanced Automotive Battery Conference (AABC Europe 2015) held at the Rheingoldhalle in Mainz, Germany. Lead-carbon batteries also differ from lithium-ion in that they require no active cooling and no expensive battery management system at a cell level. 48V Batteries Hybrids'

AVL says that its smart recharging concept guarantees the filling of the “torque gap” at low speeds under all circumstances of acceleration even with a small energy storage system. engine (green hatched area) is applied to charging the energy storage system rather than in directly delivering torque.

AC Propulsion’s president, Tom Gage, explains the company’s vehicle-to-grid technology at a 2001 conference in Seattle. The need for large-scale electrochemical energy storage as a grid-stabilizing source of demand disappeared. And the auto industry had just canceled the battery EV. A strong V2G patron has yet to emerge.

70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020. The manufacture of lithium batteries for EVs, like those shown here, is energy intensive, as is the mining and refining of the raw materials. An EV operated in Yunnan emits about 60 percent less.

The project includes quick-charging stations at this terminal layover in route to recharge bus batteries. Grid sourced electrical energy used to recharge the bus batteries will be augmented with solar energy collected with panels procured and installed under this project.
