In resent world where the automotive industry is being in high speed development while oil being increasingly poor and environment having been seriously threaten by air pollution ,HEV(Hybrid Electric Vehicle) has shipped out and is expected to become the fresh which is the technological progress as a landmark in the automotive industry. Automotive Ni-MH battery is the most commercial oriented mobile energy applied in HEV.It has been taken ito production by PEVE (Japan)and performed as part of the hybrid cars produced by Toyota.Lyrun’s Leading products of Nickel Foam is the key material of automotive Ni-MH battery .
By full effort and R&D devotion,Lyrun has build up long-term cooperations with various of world-class battery enterprises ,such as PEVE(Japan),PBW(Japan),SANYO,SAFT(France),VARTA(Germany),GP(Hongkong),BYD(China) etc.Lyrun is now performing as a industy leader leading the development of battery materials with the focus in the whole industry!
From 2006,the high speed development of HEV Promote the expansion of the Nifoam market.According to the Ni-battery production and sales datas’analysing in recent years,Ni-MH battery has being in sustained and fast development being encouraged by global automakers’s speeding up deployment of HEV strategies.In automotive Market of North America,automobile sales was about 38000 in 2002,120000 in 2004 with the market share of about 1%.Base on the plans of Toyota, Ford, General Motors, Nissan Motor Co., and other major automobile corporations, the global production of HEV will reach to 2 billion in the next five years which shall be with the Nifoam needs of above 14 billion. According to Journal report of "Auto Mfg & Production" (automobile manufacturing and production), the HEV is expected to account for 15% in 2015 and 25% in 2020 in the world automobile industry. Double sales of HEV will higly promote the Nifoam sales market in the same time.
As we all know, Chinese oil resources share is only 2% in the world while it’s population accounts for 1 / 5 in the whole world .Chinese per capita share of oil resources is only 1 / 10 of the world's average. Based on that condition and the sustainable economic development requiremet, energy will become the key . At the same time, the deteriorating environment is also asking for a new “green energy” and the “green energy” adopted transport. The development of HEV will be the inevitable in the near future.
With long-term unremitting efforts in scientific and technological research, by technical innovation ,Lyrun finally made a successful breakthrough in technology and market of automotive battery and HEV in 2005.
2006 is the key peroid when Lyrun should enrolled in the HEV. How to become a stable suppllier of the HEV applied Ni-MH battery’s materials ? This year, Lyrun formed it’s business principles ,” technological innovation as the core, to realize stable surpply to the International high-end customers, teamwork as the foundation to build the core competitiveness of enterprises”. Based on that principle , grasping the opportunities of HEV development the strong nickel market, Lyrun promoted the Nifoam production and finally made a second take-off.
