New Electric Vehicle Technology Set to Transform India’s Automotive Future

Epoch Power Group and CAU are working on new electric vehicle technology set to transform India’s automotive future

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) January 21, 2011

Epoch Power Group, a global developer of innovative energy solutions for the automotive industry, has announced the release of a new power technology for electric cars that will stimulate future opportunity for India’s Electric Vehicle (EV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) industry.

As the only American firm with exclusive rights to represent this technology for the Indian market, the Orlando-based Epoch Power Group is introducing a new fast-charging Lithium Composite Phosphate (LCP) battery technology, along with a complete manufacturing training program, to Indian automotive companies manufacturing renewable energy vehicles.

“LCP technology has already been identified by industry experts in the world’s top automotive companies as the future of Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles,” said Mustafa Saied, Managing Partner at Epoch Power Group. “Epoch’s introduction of this cutting-edge technology will lead India to achieve unprecedented leadership and recognition in the Asian electric vehicle industry.”

While LCP technology has long been used in portable electronics like camcorders, cell phones and laptops, its innovative nature is now gaining worldwide attention as a viable option for transportation applications—offering plenty of opportunity for integration in the electric vehicle industry.

During the past decade, India has established a solid reputation as a global technology leader, prompting a renewal of its automotive industry across the Asian continent, which is seen by industry leaders as a likely contender to leading electric vehicle companies in Europe and the United States.

“The local Indian market will gain in multiple ways with the establishment of local manufacturing plants,” said Lawrence Huang, Director of CAU Charging Systems Limited, the technology provider based out of Hong Kong. “By training engineers to independently manage the plants here in India, we can motivate the creation of hundreds of technology jobs and contribute significantly to the local economy.”

CAU Charging Systems Limited is the first company in the world to produce large-format charging battery cells (>40AH) with a fast-charging capability of up to 10CA that offers unmatched technology leadership in the field of rechargeable power generation.

The positive outlook for India’s role in the development of electric vehicle technology is expected to solidify the country’s position as one of the top players in the world automobile market in the next decade—a favorable environment for CAU and Epoch now that this specialized technology is being assimilated into mainstream automotive markets.

The recent decision by India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) to offer incentives to electric vehicle manufacturers adds a significant boost to auto makers that adopt this technology, effectively giving them an opportunity to offer these vehicles at a much lower price than before.

“This decision by MNRE is a proactive and a visionary one,” said Epoch’s Mustafa Saied. “It is aimed at aggressively supporting the push for clean fuel technology, and even in the short term, will directly result in taking electric vehicles out of a niche market and launch it right into the mainstream auto market.”

As an automobile market in general, India has grown substantially over the last decade and at the current growth rate it is positioned to become one of the largest markets in the world—particularly as a major exporter of automobiles to several nations in Europe.

The alternative fuel industry is gaining great importance in today’s world of rising oil prices. There are many new technologies emerging in this area and various types of fuel cells have been developed. Fuel cells convert energy like hydrogen into electricity, a clean fuel, which does not emit pollution in the air. This has proven to be a good change in life for many people in the world. A vehicle that is powered with a device which gives off little or no emissions is good for the world as it is environment- friendly and it will also reduce global warming.

There are different types of fuel cells developed using modern technologies. One of them is a polymer exchange membrane fuel cell which was developed by the Department of Energy. Polymer exchange membrane fuel cell has a high power density at low operating temperatures of 140 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Low operating temperature allows the fuel to warm up fairly soon to begin generating electricity. Understandably, the Department of Energy is interested in promoting it as a means of alternative fuel for transportation facilities.

Hydrogen is the main source of fuel in many fuel cell technologies that are being researched nowadays. The polymer exchange membrane fuel is one such option. It is being looked at as the most prominent option to be used as an alternative fuel generator for cars.

Another type of fuel cell is the methanol fuel cell, which is similar to the polymer exchange membrane fuel cell because it operates on low operating temperature. However, it is not very efficient. Methanol fuel cells use platinum in large quantities as a catalyst. Platinum is a precious metal, thus making it expensive to run them. In the near future, researchers of this technology may find the ways and means to overcome these problems and develop a cost effective alternative to make it cheaply available to the consumers.

There are many problems associated with fuel cells. For instance, most of the components used are expensive and hence they defeat the purpose in terms of costs involved. To be cost effective and to withstand the market competition, they have to be priced at per kilowatt. Presently however, the production price is $ 110 per kilowatt, that works out to more than gasoline powered vehicles. This is an expensive proposition.

Fuel cell technologies have difficulty operating in different weather conditions. The membranes must be hydrated enough to allow tranference of the hydrogen protons . Hydration is lost at about 80 degree Celsius, without a high pressure hydration system. Researchers therefore have to find a way to develop a fuel cell system that can operate in sub-zero temperatures, high temperatures or humid conditions.

The future of fuel cell technology is bright and there are great improvements in the field every day. Hopefully, very soon these tiny fuel cells may give us a cost-effective alternative to the gasoline powered car.

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) March 23, 2005

EcoComposite LLC, a new force in the design and production of commercial fuel cell systems, today announced the successful test of its proprietary Becker Fuel Cell Plate technology by the prestigious Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis.

“Test results over a period of two days demonstrated that EcoComposite’s proprietary plate technology functioned appropriately and the performance was similar to that expected from graphite plates normally used in fuel cells,” said Marshall Miller, Senior Development Engineer at the Institute. “Based upon these test results, there is every expectation that EcoComposite’s fuel cell plates will perform well in fuel cell systems and can be used as a much more economic alternative to standard graphite and other plate systems currently available.”

The neutral, third party tests were performed on prototype fuel cells built using the Becker plate technology in a standard configuration.

The Becker Fuel Cell Plate is named after its inventor, Mr. Rolf Becker, founder of EcoComposite. “This recent achievement opens the door for cost-effective fuel cell systems to be produced in both large and small quantities,” stated Becker. “EcoComposite will play a critical role in the advancement of the fuel cell industry and acceleration of acceptance of fuel cell technology by consumers and commercial industries.”
