HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

An electric version of Suzuki&#8217;s well-known Jimny compact off-roader is one of the five new electric cars the company recently announced to launch in Europe by 2030. The first of these Suzuki EVs will be on sale next year. Although it will still be a crossover, it is unlikely to be the Jimny EV. Instead, it may be a production version of the previously unveiled eVX concept.
So far, there is no information available about any of these EVs. The Jimny is anticipated to appear quite similar to the current model, and it&#8217;s extremely probable that it won&#8217;t simply be marketed with an electric powertrain. According to Suzuki&#8217;s latest announcement, which allows open for interpretation, a hybrid variation may also be in the sale.
According to previous reports, the eVX concept car may be the first totally electric Suzuki to go into production. The company, which refers to this vehicle as its first &#8220;global strategic EV,&#8221; claims it will debut in 2025. But that doesn&#8217;t mean it simply won&#8217;t happen the following year.
It is 1.6 meters/63 inches tall, 1.8 meters/70.9 wide, and 4.3 meters/169.3 inches long. That is somewhat smaller than the Grand Vitara crossover and around the same size as the Suzuki S-Cross.
<h2>Jimny Most Futuristic-Looking Suzuki Ever</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-32370 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AA16OaZB-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AA16OaZB-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AA16OaZB-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AA16OaZB-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AA16OaZB-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AA16OaZB-1568x882.jpeg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/AA16OaZB.jpeg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Additionally, it gives a sneak peek at what will presumably be the most cutting-edge and futuristic-looking Suzuki ever. Suzuki does not offer drivers a glimpse inside. Though the company did mention that it may have dual-motor all-wheel drive and a 60 kWh battery pack, giving it a range of up to 550 km/342 miles on the Indian MIDC test cycle and likely 500 km/310 miles on the WLTP.
It&#8217;s possible that the electric Jimny also uses this battery pack. If the off-roader is too tiny to fit the battery pack on its floor, Suzuki may switch to the recently introduced four-door Jimny model. Because Jimny&#8217;s wider wheelbase offers more space between the axles for a larger battery pack.

Suzuki Teases the Arrival of the EVs I Electric Jimny by 2030

Honda

Honda formally unveiled its innovative system of interchangeable battery charging and exchange stations. It is called as Honda Power Pack Exchanger. Honda Mobile Power Packs, which the company already debuted in 2021, are intended to be used with it. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will make use of the first such HPPEe in an effort to disseminate electric motorbikes throughout the city.
Gachaco, the new battery exchanging company that Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki merged to establish back in March 2022, has also received the HPPEe.
In India, where the battery packs will power electric three-wheeled rickshaw taxis, the new charging hub units for Honda Mobile Power Pack e: battery packs will also be used. A local Honda company named Honda Power Pack Energy India Pvt. Ltd will make usage in this market easier.

<h2>Process Seems Relatively Simple for Customers</h2>
The HPPEe: the station will be accessible to users via a chip card, which they use for contactless communication. They may then take a fully charged battery out of one slot.
To make it easier and faster for customers, so every battery slot features an angled design. Furthermore, Honda claims that used batteries plugged into its charging points would start charging autonomously without further action from the customer.

Honda Power Pack Exchanger e

Honda Unveils a Battery-Powered Charging Station in Japan.

Japan&#8217;s four major motorcycle original equipment manufacturers—Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha—have been collaborating on interchangeable electric vehicle batteries and associated systems since 2019.
The companies compromised on a single EV standard that their interchangeable batteries must fulfill in March 2021. That, like systematic charging plugs for our electronic devices, should make life so much easier for customers, so it appeared to be a positive move. Honda had unveiled its new Mobile Power Pack by November 2021. It was significant because that was the first component to match the Big Four&#8217;s battery swapping criteria.
The Fantastic Four have just publicly stated their next step in this project. The consortium is forming a new company named Gachaco in collaboration with the Japanese petroleum company Eneos. The new company was officially established on April 1, 2022. Its two objectives will be to share formalized swappable batteries for electric motorcycles and to develop the required infrastructure to accommodate this service.
<h2>Swap To Go Battery For E-Bikes</h2>
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lGo_zQjEEQ8" width="800" height="450" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">﻿</iframe>
Eneos refers to its future vision as &#8220;Battery-as-a-Service,&#8221; or BaaS. As environmental considerations grow, it is more essential than ever to incorporate a recycling plan into the life cycle of a major energy shift like this. Whilst still there will undoubtedly be discussion as to whether this step is too late, it just about undoubtedly has to be preferable to doing nothing at all.
Moreover, Gachaco goes on to say it plans to launch its battery sharing service in Japan in the autumn of 2022. To proceed, it will be powered by the Honda Mobile Power Pack. It is unclear when or if additional swappable battery options will be available in the near future. The rollout will take place in Tokyo and other major Japanese cities, and will take place in suitable, strategic points such as rail stations and Eneos service centers.
Gachaco&#8217;s plans for going global are unknown at this time. Individual countries, as well as the European Union overall, have worked at different rates to integrate more electric vehicle options. We honestly wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see Gachaco&#8217;s reach expansion outside of Japan as electric two-wheeler options gain prominence across Asia and Europe in particular.
