Alstom to supply two H3 hybrid shunting locomotives for Audi

Green Car Congress

Whereas the old traction vehicles consume over 20 liters of fuel per hour, the generator of the hybrid locomotive, which is needed only to charge the battery block, requires a maximum of nine liters per hour. The powertrain consists of a 350 kW diesel generator and a 350 kW NiCd battery.

Tier 1 HELLA evaluating PowerGenix NiZn batteries for 48V mild hybrid vehicles

Green Car Congress

In addition to dendrite formation, zinc oxide solubility can result in shape change and densification of the anode on repeated charge/discharge cycles. Nickel-zinc batteries are chemically very similar to nickel-cadmium, NiCd. Both use an alkaline electrolyte and a nickel electrode but differ significantly in their voltage.

Microporous polymer material for supercapacitors with large capacitance, high energy and power densities and excellent cycle life

Green Car Congress

Supercapacitors work on a different charge-storage principle than rechargeable batteries, and consist of electrochemical double layers on electrodes, which are wetted by an electrolyte. When a voltage is applied, ions of opposite charge collect on both electrodes to form wafer-thin zones of immobilized charge carriers.
