Characteristics and Development of Some
Kinds of New Energy Vehicles
Abstract
Now the global automotive industry is facing the challenge of energy and environment,and developing new energy vehicles becomes many global automotive groups’s same plan.But not all of various types of new energy vehicles which have their own advantages and disadvantages can become the most promising future vehicles.I will introduce features and development of Pure Electric Vehicles 、Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)、 Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV)、Natural Gas Vehicles、Hydrogen Engine Vehicles and DME Vehicles Etc. At last we will know which kind of the new energy vehicles will become mainstream in the future of the car by comparing.
Key Word: New Energy Vehicles Future cars Hybrid
Hybrid cars is hybrid electric vehicles which use more than one kind of energy provides power to drives the car . Currently hybrid cars is the combination of traditional fossil fuels engin and electric motor.
The most prominent advantage of hybrid cars is its fuel economy. The maximum power of the engin can determine by the average power ,so that the engin can work in less pollution and lower fuel consumption condition. That makes hybrid cars save 30%~50% fule compare with traditional cars,and significantly reducing emissions at the same time.Energy recovering from braking become easy too.But the problem of hybrid car is it’s high price and basicly no fuel saving at long distance、high speed driving.
At present, China's hybrid vehicle technology development fast, some models have been in the period of practical .Take the Roewe 750 of Shanghai Automotive Group for example ,it has already on sale.In the world wild,Toyota Prius hybrid car first introduced in Japan in 1997,and the other major automobile companies have launched their own hybrid products, such as the Honda Insight, GM Saturn VUE, Ford Escape and so on.With technical progress and expansion of production scale,the cost has dropped significantly.
Pure electric vehicles is driven by electric motor, which is powered by car-carry battery,and meet the requirements of traffic safety regulations.
Pure electric vehicle using a rechargeable battery , and the basic structure is not complicated.Electric generators and car batteries are one of the key components, among which the most critical is battery.Pure electric vehicles is not a new car, the electric car was born more than 100 years. At that time the electric car battery lifespan is short, the mileage is not high also. Then the electric car is relaced by the increasingly technology mature internal combustion engine car. But in the 1970 s, due to the stimulation of oil crisis, all countries in the world began to look for other energy to replace oil. The electric car is back in the line of sight of people. And in recent years besides had the problems of energy, environmental problem has become a social focus on major issues. Again increased focus on electric cars. Now the difficulty of promote puer electric car comes from the power storage technologies.Currently,energy storage in per unit weight of the battery is not enough for long -term using, the charge mileage is not ideal. On the other hand,The high-performance battery lifespan is short.Resulting in not froming economy scale, cost of pure electric vehicle is too high
