CDMC Events will be presenting the 4th Annual Green Mobility 2013 to be held on Oct 9th-11th, 2013 in Beijing, China.

Laptops could work longer and electric cars could drive farther if it were possible to further increase the capacity of their lithium-ion batteries. The electrode material has a decisive influence on a battery's capacity.

Honda Motor Company agreed with TDK Corporation and Japan Metals & Chemicals Company (JMC) to jointly pursue the reuse of a rare earth metal extracted from nickel-metal hydride batteries in hybrid vehicles for magnets of new hybrid vehicle motors.

Raising the bar to 1.2 million stop-starts compares with typically 30,000 for a conventional starter motor and up to 300,000 for current generation stop-start systems - CPT is the first in the industry to set this new standard

EADS and Siemens are entering a long-term research partnership to introduce new electric propulsion systems that could help airlines lower their fuel bills and drive environmental performance.

In support of the Obama Administration's all-of-the-above energy strategy, the US Energy Department has announced up to $9 million in new funding to accelerate the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies for use in vehicles, backup power systems, and hydrogen refueling components.

Scientists have designed a new type of nanostructured-carbon-based catalyst that could pave the way for reliable, economical next-generation batteries and alkaline fuel cells, providing for practical use of wind- and solar-powered electricity, as well as enhanced hybrid electric vehicles.

IDTechEx find that pure electric car sales in 2013 will be 70,000 vehicles rising to 2 million in 2023, versus 2 million hybrid vehicles this year rising to 7.6 million in 2023.

A cutting edge ferry, which is the second of two unique 'hybrid' vessels, has been launched on the Clyde at Ferguson's shipyard in Port Glasgow.

Researchers at Rice University have come up with a new way to boost the efficiency of the ubiquitous lithium ion (LI) battery by employing ribbons of graphene that start as carbon nanotubes.

Leading technology analysts IDTechEx will run this free webinar which includes data from the new IDTechEx report "Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles 2013-2023: Forecasts, Technologies, Players".

Questions arise as to how much supercapacitors can improve if organisations more like NASA took over. After all, if supercapacitors can replace many batteries when, as today, they store one tenth of their energy, what will happen in the marketplace if they approach the theoretical ten times the lithium-ion battery figure while acting as a near-perfect "battery"?

Scientists have created an advanced zinc-air battery with higher catalytic activity and durability than similar batteries made with platinum and other costly catalysts. The results could lead to the development of a low-cost alternative to conventional lithium-ion technology widely used today.

The Transport for London has secured £5m from the Department for Transport's (DfT's) Green Bus Fund.

Laboratory crash tests show both vulnerabilities and ways to improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries used in electric and hybrid vehicles.

No overhead lines and ultrafast charging times at selected bus stops enables new opportunities for next generation zero-emissions urban mass transportation.

Three years ago, the Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC) was asked to demonstrate the durability of lead-carbon batteries in the high-rate, partial state-of-charge operation of a hybrid electric vehicle.

Stanford University scientists have dramatically improved the performance of lithium-ion batteries by creating novel electrodes made of silicon and conducting polymer hydrogel, a spongy substance similar to the material used in soft contact lenses and other household products.

IDTechEx, the leading market research firm covering electric vehicles will explain some of its findings in this free webinar which includes data from the new IDTechEx report Electric Motors for Electric Vehicles 2013-2023 Market Forecasts, Technology Trends.
