Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden have developed a new battery cell production process that coats the electrodes of the energy storage cells with a dry film instead of liquid chemicals. This simplified process saves energy and eliminates toxic solvents. © Fraunhofer IWS.

Therefore, Audi has increased the capacity of the energy storage system as well. The encapsulated WHP flywheel energy storage system that sits in the cockpit alongside the driver can store up to 700 kilojoules (KJ) of energy that it subsequently returns to the electrical machine—about 17% more than in 2014.

Mazda is the first automobile manufacturer to begin commercial leasing of a hydrogen hybrid vehicle; the first units will be delivered to local government authorities and energy-related companies during 2009. A Li-ion battery pack provides energy storage, while compressed hydrogen is stored in a 35 MPa (350 bar, 5,000 psi) tank.

Among the new features in the R18 are a more radical aerodynamics concept, including a new safety cell; a Li-ion battery replacing the flywheel energy storage system; and a revised V6 TDI diesel engine. With the new R18, Audi is switching to a Li-ion battery for energy storage. The current V6 TDI consumes 32.4%

The design allows the electric motor to be more efficient in powering the car’s wheels, while its integrated compressor uses less power due to synergy between the engine and the compressor, which can also draw on energy regenerated directly from the car’s brakes. Design concept of the integrated A/C compressor-traction motor unit.

The liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery is the energy storage medium and has a capacity of more than 1.4 The hydrogen used to run the fuel cell is stored in three tanks at a pressure of 10,150 psi (700 bar). The B-Class F-CELL uses a single-speed gear reduction transmission w/reverse and recuperation. Each tank holds just under 8.8
