German supplier Robert Bosch and Japanese battery partner GS Yuasa Corp. are "on a good path" toward their goal of developing a lithium ion battery that costs half as much as today's batteries but has twice the energy density, a top Bosch executive said.
The companies aim to produce such a battery by 2020, Wolz said. "We are on a good path to reach that target," he told reporters.
Achieving such performance in automotive power packs will be a major breakthrough in popularizing electrified drivetrains, Wolz said.
Bosch is positioning vehicle electrification as a pillar of growth as carmakers tap batteries to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations. The supplier expects hybrid and electric-only drivetrains to account for 15 percent of the global automotive market by 2020, Wolz said.
In 2013, GS Yuasa, Bosch and trading house Mitsubishi Corp. formed a joint venture (http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/2013/06/bosch-gs-yuasa-and-mitsubishi-corp.html) to develop low-cost, high energy-density lithium ion batteries.
Bosch invests some 400 million euros in electromobility research and development each year.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?d=yIl2AUoC8zA (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?a=rMVcS7kUHio:nddYxk8RVpY:yIl2AUoC8zA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?i=rMVcS7kUHio:nddYxk8RVpY:V_sGLiPBpWU (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?a=rMVcS7kUHio:nddYxk8RVpY:V_sGLiPBpWU) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?d=qj6IDK7rITs (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?a=rMVcS7kUHio:nddYxk8RVpY:qj6IDK7rITs) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?i=rMVcS7kUHio:nddYxk8RVpY:gIN9vFwOqvQ (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blogspot/pEcq?a=rMVcS7kUHio:nddYxk8RVpY:gIN9vFwOqvQ)
