The future of electric buses

At the unique event Future of Electric Vehicles 7-8 December in San Jose California , the market for all electric vehicles in the world and specifically East Asia will be forecasted by type.

Printed electronics killer applications

Printed and partly printed electronics and electrics are not being applied to very expensive things or electronic things first. It is more about modernising printing more than it is about modernising electronics.

Winning EnerDel strategy?

Lithium polymer construction - whatever the cathode chemistry - is also taking market share because it can have lightweight plastic casing and tolerate high pressure and it is highly unlikely to leak.

Traction battery price war

News is coming in that the predicted car traction battery shakeout has begun.

New world record with efficient CIGS solar cell

The new record-breaking solar cells from ZSW are made of extremely thin layers of copper, indium, gallium and diselenide (CIGS for short).

Printed Electronics in Asia - the hot sectors

There are about 3,000 organizations worldwide actively involved in the development of printed electronics. By number of organizations, Europe has the edge over the U.S., then comes Asia. However, this disguises the fact that those involved in Asia tend to be large conglomerates that can invest much more than those in the West.

Germany catching up in electric vehicles

Germany is the strongest trading nation in Europe with the broadest and deepest automotive activity. However, the strategy of the German government and its automotive industry has been deeply flawed.

Pure electric manned aircraft: Ukraine, Europe

In previous articles in EVR we have described the new electric stunt plane from EADS in France and the production pure electric sport plane from in China. Here we wind the clock back a little to show how the early work on pure electric aircraft is spawning many other very different aircraft, a common factor being the use of lightweight lithium polymer batteries that need no metal enclosure.

Electric Vehicles in East Asia

The Western media obsess about electric cars to be made in the West, many of them being both overpriced and underperforming in global terms. This misses the fact that 56% of the value of sales of electric vehicles is and will remain in East Asia and cars only account for about half of the value of the electric vehicle business worldwide.

Printing large batteries

170 years ago, Faraday appreciated the different electrical properties of nano gold over bulk metal in electrical devices, so applying nanotechnology to these things is scarcely new. However, the huge sums now being applied to improvement of lithium traction batteries in particular are now leading to work on a much larger scale and thin film technology, nanotechnology and printing are in increasingly important part of this.

Lithium vehicle traction batteries and harvesting

The conference of about 40 people "Lithium Battery Technology and System Development" in London 9 March 2010 was concerned with "breaking barriers for electric vehicles".

Electric Vehicles - China vs Japan

The Western media debate at length the transformation of the Western automotive industry. However, the real battle of the titans is taking place in East Asia. It concerns electric vehicles, both hybrid and pure electric, and a much bigger picture, because these manufacturers ...

Panasonic Corp to take majority control of Sanyo Electric Co

Panasonic Corp. has announced that it will take majority control of Sanyo Electric Co. in a US$4.6 billion deal where Panasonic said it will buy 50.2 per cent of Sanyo for 403.78 billion yen ($4.6 billion) after closing its five-week tender offer which began on the 5th November.

Using a supercapacitor to manage your power

This article will explain some of the key properties of supercapacitors that design engineers creating energy harvesting circuits need to be aware of, and explore how to use supercapacitors in these circuits.

How to improve lithium traction batteries

Dependence on increasingly troublesome oil supplies and rapid degradation of the environment provide every reason why electric cars, whether hybrid or pure electric, should now be adopted rapidly.

Size unlimited for Mitsubishi's 155 inch OLED screen

Mitsubishi created a flurry of interest at Japan's consumer electronics exhibition, CEATEC earlier this month with their 155 inch OLED Screen.

The battery is the car

Plug in hybrid electric cars are now prioritised by most major car manufacturers. Pure electric on- road cars are prioritised by Nissan and a host of vibrant start up companies, they have one thing in common. The cleverest, most expensive part of their planned vehicles is increasingly the traction battery.

Nano ePrint developing printed nano-transistors in zinc oxide

Nano ePrint, formerly Plastic ePrint, the 2006 spin out from Professor Aimin Song's group at Manchester University in the UK, continues the development of its remarkable single layer transistor printing system.

Kovio Raises $20 Million in Venture Capital to Ship RF Barcodes

Kovio, Inc., a privately held company developing printed silicon electronics, today announced that to date it has raised $20 million in Series E financing

Plextronics on OLEDs

Andy Hannah CEO of Plextronics, a global leader in OLED materials, gave a powerful message on OLEDs as a breakthrough technology at the LOPE-C conference last week.
