Echion Technologies

Echion Technologies are a UK start-up developing mixed niobium oxide anodes for high power, long life Li-ion batteries.

Are Advanced Anode Technologies the Way Forward for Li-ion Batteries?

Li-ion batteries are beginning to hit their performance ceiling, especially with regards to energy density. However, a shift in the anode materials used, namely to silicon or lithium-metal anodes, could provide a stepwise improvement to energy density. Their promise can be highlighted by looking at the high number of early-stage companies primarily developing anode materials, most being focussed on silicon, compared to other areas of Li-ion development.

ZMP

ZMP was founded in 2001 in Japan as a company specialising in bipedal humanoid robots. In 2007 ZMP started developing autonomous moving technologies and implemented the outputs on their wheeled entertainment robotic products. In 2009, ZMP entered the field of autonomous driving (AD) by releasing their first AD development platform. ZMP is based in Tokyo, Japan, and it has a development centre in Vietnam as well as an affiliated company in Korea.

Solaris Bus & Coach

Solaris Bus & Coach, part of the CAF Group, is one of Europe's foremost bus and trolleybus manufacturers. With growing electric bus sales and a developing fuel cell bus business, they are a leading OEM in the European zero-emission bus market. In June 2021 IDTechEx Technology Analyst David Wyatt spoke with Solaris' Mateusz Figaszewski, E-mobility Development and Market Intelligence Director.

Voltabox are a German Li-ion module and battery pack manufacturer focussed on industrial electric vehicle segments.

TM Robotics and Evershed help Ricoh Automate its Manufacturing Process

In an industrial context, the word automation is often, inaccurately, used to mean only industrial robotics. In fact, it refers to everything from inverter driven conveyor systems to advanced manufacturing software.

Solid-State Batteries Will Create a $6 Billion Market in 2030

Solid-state batteries keep on attracting tremendous attention and investment with the maturing technologies and closeness to mass production.

Rivian Overblown?

Those desperate to invest in "The next Tesla" continue to pile into start-up Rivian, the latest $350 million coming from a media company. That takes investment up to the $2 billion level familiar at Tesla.

Klean Industries

Klean Industries uses pyrolysis to output carbon black and refined fuels from PP, PS and PE. Their process can handle high volumes of PVC and PET waste alongside the ideal polymer feedstock from post-consumer and post-industrial sources.

Fuel cell forklifts powered with solar hydrogen energy

The Toshiba ESS "H2PLAZA," produces and supplies hydrogen with renewable energy for fuel-cell forklifts and is now supplying hydrogen at Toyota.
