New energy vehicles far away from us?

New energy vehicles are becoming a concern of Chinese Auto Industry hotspot. So, what is new energy vehicles, what types of new energy vehicles, what foreign experience in the promotion of new energy vehicles to follow? Current version for readers should be aware that interpretation.

1 What is new energy vehicles?

New energy vehicles refers to the use of unconventional vehicle fuels as a power source (or the use of conventional motor vehicle fuels, the use of new-vehicle power unit), integrated power control and drive the vehicle's advanced technology, the formation of advanced technical principles, with New technology, new structure of the car. New energy vehicles, including hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), pure electric vehicles (BEV, including solar car), fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), hydrogen-powered vehicles and other new energy sources (such as super capacitors, flywheel energy storage devices such as efficient) Automotive and so on.


2 new vehicles to the types of energy?

hybrid cars


Hybrid refers to those using traditional fuels, also supported by the motor / engine to improve the low power output and fuel consumption models. According to the different fuel types, the main can be divided into gasoline hybrid and diesel hybrid two.

pure electric vehicles


Pure electric vehicles is to power-driven vehicle, driving with the motor drive the wheels, in line with road traffic, vehicle safety regulations requirements. Generally use high-efficiency rechargeable batteries, or fuel cell as a power source. No re-use of electric vehicles internal combustion engine, therefore, equivalent to the traditional electric vehicle motor vehicle engine, fuel tank battery is equivalent to the original, as power is a secondary energy, can be derived from wind, hydro, geothermal, solar and other means.

fuel cell vehicles


Fuel cell vehicles is hydrogen, methanol as fuel, generate electricity through chemical reactions, relying on the motor-driven vehicles. Fuel cell does not produce harmful chemical reaction product of the process. In addition, fuel cell energy conversion efficiency than internal combustion engine 2 to 3 times higher, therefore, in terms of energy use and environmental protection, fuel cell vehicles are an ideal vehicle.
