This animated 3-D rendering, generated by an X-ray-based imaging technique at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source, shows tiny pockets of water (blue) in a fibrous sample. These gas-diffusion layers help to distribute the reactant chemicals and then remove the products from the reactions. —Shum et al. Credit: Berkeley Lab).

Together with other highly-flexible controllable systems in the BMW Group production network, they will contribute to the stability of the public grid outside of the plant. The BMW Battery Storage Farm at the Leipzig plant, which has been on-stream since October 2017, with up to 700 BMW i3 batteries, is also part of the BMW power pool.

While high-performance cars generally contain carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) to reduce weight, the partners moved away from the fixed idea of using CFRP. The RN30 also features semi-structural sandwich solutions for the trunk floor, providing a considerable weight reduction as well as a highly efficient production process.

The auto industry should play a central role in the energy discussion, Akerson noted, because light-duty vehicles account for about 60% of total transportation energy usage in the United States. GM, said Akerson, is doing a much better job optimizing mass efficiency. The new Cadillac ATS is lighter than a comparable BMW 3-Series.

Audi is the first manufacturer worldwide to use this technology in a production plug-in hybrid. Covered in greater detail in an earlier post , the battery-electric e-tron quattro concept provides a very close foreshadowing of the production model to follow in 2018. Market launch is scheduled to begin in 2017. Click to enlarge.
