Bosch develops hydrogen fuel cell technology -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
Starting from the four aspects of market, technology, cost and investment, Bosch concluded that the current large-scale investment in the production of lithium batteries with the current liquid electrolyte technology is not conducive to the development of Bosch.
On February 28, the global auto parts giant Bosch held a press conference on the theme of "Electric Technology Development Strategy". At the meeting, Mr. Rolf Bulander, a member of the Bosch Group Management Committee and President of the Automotive Division, made it clear that Bosch would give up self-made new energy vehicle power battery cells, and instead use outsourced battery cells to combine Bosch's own battery management system technology and system integration ability to provide customers with complete battery systems.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
In abandoning the production of power battery cells for vehicles, Bosch has come to the conclusion that the current large-scale investment in the production of lithium batteries with the current liquid electrolyte technology is not conducive to the development of Bosch from the four aspects of market, technology, cost and investment. .
It is worth noting that abandoning the production of power battery cells does not mean that Bosch completely abandons the research and development and manufacturing of battery systems. Bosch is shifting its focus to autonomous driving and hydrogen fuel.
Bosch said that in 2018, it will continue to make continuous efforts in hydrogen fuel cell technology, continue to tap the potential of internal combustion engines, and strengthen the research and development of autonomous driving and driver assistance technologies.
"By 2030 at the latest, fuel cells will play an important role in the powertrain system. Bosch is accelerating the development process and gradually expanding our product portfolio." said Volkmar Denner, Chairman of the Bosch Group Board of Directors.
Although Bosch is not a professional manufacturer of lithium-ion power batteries for vehicles, it has given up its own production of lithium-ion battery cells and shifted its focus to the field of hydrogen fuel cells, which shows that in the case of increasingly fierce competition in the power battery market, fuel cells Technology may become a new choice for enterprises to enter the new energy vehicle industry.
Let's take a look at the recent developments in the field of fuel cells:
11 Japanese companies join forces to create a hydrogen refueling station construction company
According to foreign media reports, 11 companies including Toyota, Nissan, Honda, JXTG Energy, Tokyo Gas and Toyota Tsusho recently announced that they will jointly create a new company responsible for the construction and operation of hydrogen refueling stations for fuel cell vehicles to promote the popularization of fuel cell vehicles in Japan. . The first phase of the project plans to complete the construction of about 80 hydrogen refueling stations by fiscal year 2021.
Canada cooperates to promote hydrogen fuel cell technology exchange
A few days ago, the Fuel Cell Partnership Alliance and the Canadian Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Association signed a memorandum of cooperation at the Tokyo Renewable Energy Week venue to promote the development of hydrogen energy application technology, hydrogen energy technology standard research, fuel cell application technology development, fuel cell vehicles and Cooperation in hydrogen storage standard research, etc.
Dongfang Electric hydrogen fuel cell bus was delivered for use
A few days ago, the delivery of hydrogen fuel cell buses jointly developed by Dongfang Electric and Chengdu Bus and the unveiling ceremony of the first hydrogen refueling demonstration station in Sichuan Province were held at the Industrial Port of Pidu District, Chengdu, marking the official delivery of the first batch of hydrogen fuel buses independently developed by Sichuan Province. , Dongfang Electric provides the fuel cell power system for the bus.
MHPS receives order for fuel cell hybrid gas turbine
Foreign media reported that Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Co., Ltd. (MHPS) received an order for its supercharged hybrid power generation system integrated with solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and micro gas turbines (MGT). The hybrid system uses city gas as fuel, operates at high temperatures around 900°C, and generates electricity from a ceramic SOFC stack and MGT.
PowerCell receives SEK 6.5 million fuel cell stack order
According to foreign media reports, PowerCellSwedenAB received an order from a Chinese customer for the fuel cell stack PowerCellS2. The delivery will take place in the first and second quarters of 2018. The order is worth SEK 6.5 million. The order will also concurrently test PowerCell's liquid organic hydrogen carrier LOHC technology.
