The successful market implementation of these materials in vehicles requires that they be low cost and available in sufficient abundance to make a compelling business case. For this reason the focus of this AOI includes the development of low-cost approaches to the manufacturing of both magnesium and carbon fiber.

The Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC) last month showcased three hybrid electric concept vehicles resulting from its R&D program that demonstrate the real-world potential of lead-carbon batteries in 48V architectures. The problem is, while needing to reduce emissions, it is necessary to keep production at a relatively low cost.

Hyundai is also displaying the diesel i40 48V hybrid concept, featuring a lead-carbon battery. The new engine comes with an electronically-controlled waste-gate to optimize flow and improve low-end torque and throttle response. The relocated and re-engineered turbo means throttle response time and low-end torque have improved.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. The word “hybrid” is misleading.

The opportunities for private-parties to buy and sell emissions allowances, and to purchase any allowances auctioned by the state, lie behind cap and trade’s potential to achieve emissions reductions at low cost to the overall economy. This objective presents challenges because many offsets are difficult to measure.
