🔋The 2024 BYD Han boasts a range of 506 km (CLTC), which extends up to 715 kilometers in the version with an 85.44 kWh battery. During today&#8217;s event, it was emphasized for the first time that the car features a silicon carbide chip inverter and an 800V architecture. However, the charging speed of the largest battery being limited to 155 kW indicates that the entire high-voltage system is not yet ready for 800V.
🚗In the performance version of the car, a dual-motor powertrain capable of producing 517 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque is used, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.9 seconds.

Audi, using NCM811 cathode cells produced by Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) in Germany, states that the larger cell form facilitates battery production. Additionally, it emphasizes that the newly developed smart thermal management system enhances battery life by continuously conditioning the battery and reduces charging time.
Regarding the engine, the company claims a 50% increase in efficiency compared to the first-generation electric Audis and states that it can produce more power with smaller motors by increasing power density by 62%. It should be noted that the Q6 e-tron uses an asynchronous ASM motor at the front and a permanent magnet synchronous PSM motor at the rear, differentiating it from the electric #Macan.

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.

#BMW&#8217;s hydrogen-fuel cell vehicle fleet was toured around the world for testing last year. The fleet has started long-term service in South Africa for the first time.
The BMW has been working on for four years in cooperation with #Toyota. The company continues to exist as a small-scale project where different usage scenarios are tested for now.
After being tested in various parts of the world, the iX5 Hydrogen fleet of the platinum giant Anglo American Platinum, which came to South Africa for long-term tests, will operate with a sustainable transportation concept with the &#8216;green hydrogen&#8217; produced by the company.
Stating that it has not yet made a definitive decision on producing a hydrogen car that everyone can buy, BMW wants to decide on a customer-oriented investment after tests that will continue for a few more years.

Toyota

⚡ Former Toyota CEO and Chairman Akio Toyoda, known for his opposition to fully electric vehicles, stated that electric vehicles will remain at 30% market share in the future, and 70% will consist of hybrid, hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen-burning internal combustion vehicles.
🟢Japanese giant’s  all-electric vehicles plan is fully depended on the development of solid state batteries and only 1% of the vehicles sold by the Toyota in 2023 were fully electric. On the other hand, the share of electric vehicles in China, the world&#8217;s largest automobile market, has already reached almost 25%.

Toyota  Chairman Believes Electric Vehicles Will Not Exceed 30% Market Share!

Hiroki Nakajima, the Chief Technology Officer of Toyota, has acknowledged the failure of the hydrogen fuel cell car and announced that the production of these vehicles will be abandoned for the time being.
Speaking to Autocar at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2023, the Toyota CTO attributed the failure to establish a network of hydrogen refueling stations to its challenging nature. Therefore, they will focus on hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles instead of passenger cars.

Stating that they will increase the efficiency by 20% and reduce the cost by half with the new generation hydrogen fuel cell they are currently developing, the experienced manager also left the door open for the passenger car version of the cell to be used in electric trucks and heavy vehicles.
Hiroki Nakajima also touched on solid-state battery studies. He stated that the battery, which will be launched in 2027-2028, can only be used in performance-oriented electric vehicles in the first place due to its high cost.

Toyota Abandons Hydrogen Car

A hydrogen bus with a range of 1,000 km is coming from TEMSA and Toyota.
Temsa and Japanese technology giant Toyota will jointly produce hydrogen fuel cell buses. The passenger bus will be sold in Europe by CaetanoBus, in which Toyota is a shareholder. It is expected to be officially launched in 2024.
The first bus will be based on the Temsa HD12 model. The company will use Toyota&#8217;s H2 Dual System technology. The bus can be filled with both 350 and 700-bar hydrogen. It is expected to offer a range of up to 1,000 kilometers on a single charge.

The hydrogen bus with two axles is expected to be on the roads in 2025. The longer three-axle model will go into production immediately after the first bus. The bus is jointly produced by Temsa-CaetanoBus.
Considering that hydrogen is needed to produce long-range electric models in the passenger bus category, Temsa also wants to make progress on autonomous driving.
