KAMAZ opens center in Moscow to make electric buses

Green Car Congress

Now, Russia-based heavy-duty truck vehicle manufacturer KAMAZ has opened a center to produce electric buses in Moscow. At the second stage KAMAZ will reconstruct another production building with an area of about 3,000 square meters, which will allow to manufacture about 200 more electric buses per year and carry out service of equipment.

Moscow launches its 500th electric bus; largest electric bus fleet in Europe

Green Car Congress

The KAMAZ 6282 uses lithium-titanate batteries, and has a range of 70 km on one charge. The electric bus is charged in 6-12 minutes with ultrafast charging stations using a half-pantograph. In addition, an on-board charger allows charging the drive from a three-phase 380 V alternating current (“night charge”).

UCSD team develops new disordered rock salt anode for fast-charging, safer lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

As reported in a paper in the journal Nature , the disordered rock salt Li 3+x V 2 O 5 can be used as a fast-charging anode that can reversibly cycle two lithium ions at an average voltage of about 0.6 So with this material we can make fast-charging, safe batteries with a long life, without sacrificing too much energy density.

LLTO anode material for safe batteries with a long cycle life

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Jilin University in Changchun/China have investigated a highly promising anode material for future high-performance batteries: lithium lanthanum titanate with a perovskite crystal structure (LLTO). However, negative electrodes made of graphite have a low charging rate.

Foothill Transit launching fully fast-charging electric bus line

Green Car Congress

Foothill Transit, the primary public transportation provider for the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys in Los Angeles County, California, is launching a heavy-duty, fast charging, fully electric bus line at the Pomona Transit Center on 27 September. The 10-minute charging time is possible thanks to specially designed lithium titanate batteries.
