Hybrid motorisation, rechargeable or fully electric hybrids:
from day to day, the technologies involved with the environmentally friendly car are taking shape. At the heart of these new power systems lies
the battery.
Over the past few years, the battery has gone through great change in terms of results for safeness, range and durability.
It appears to be a solution for the car but also a tool for technological transition and an essential stage as far as the prospect of
zero-emission mobility is concerned.
The future of the electric vehicle, short and medium term, is effectively inseparable from battery performance.
Research and Development in this domain has thus become a
priority and a key strategic issue for the majority of manufacturers, or even a condition of their survival.
In what is an increasingly difficult
situation for the thermic engine, (depletion of resources, the explosion of fuel prices, taxes on C02 emissions…),
the electric or hybrid vehicle is fuelling new hopes in terms of environmental respect and economic development.
Today, battery and car manufacturers are getting organised in order to move into the age of
electric mobility.
As long as
lithium reserves are managed well, the necessary infrastructure is developed and battery recycling is provided.
Here’s an outline of a technology undergoing rapid change, which could revolutionise the world of cars and transport.
