Opel plans electric small car

Now known as Opel boss Nick Reilly, one is in the house Opel significantly faster in a gradual electrification of the vehicle models to work as this as some believe. How Reilly compared to the "Handelsblatt", said one was present even in the planning phase of an all-electric small car, which was still located below the Opel Corsa.

The big difference with the upcoming Opel and GM's Volt project and Ampera is that this small car is purely electric powered and do not like the other two representatives on the Range Extender technology, a range of more than 500 kilometers. Both Volt and Opel Ampera both have supporting combustion engines to recharge the battery, which powers the wheels via the electric motor. More specifically, it is the technology for a range Enver prolonged. It drives a combustion engine to the generator, which recharges the battery. From this battery power constantly for the propulsion of the car is used. Because the internal combustion engine can provide very long (up to the exhaustion of the fuel tank), electricity, one can master the Ampera long distances and is not dependent on charging the battery.

The electrically powered small cars to the latest information indicates that there are just like the Ampera, produced in Europe. A detailed production site have been found yet so far, will ultimately depend on the location, according to Opel's chief Reilly also on the political support of such an electric car production. Concretely Reilly talks about the expected numbers in the country and the market acceptance among the population. Possibly remains of small electric cars and not the last electric vehicle from Opel in the near future, because, Opel are already planning another electric car about half of the compact Opel Ampera, which is also based on the "range extender" technology.

Polycrystalline silicon solar cells work starts

27, a design capacity of 600 megawatts of silicon solar cell project in Baoding, Hebei Province Gaobeidian start, which will further boost the development of photovoltaic industry in China.

According to reports, the green light for the construction of the new solar energy project Co., Ltd., can produce 600 megawatts of silicon solar modules, and provide 5,000 jobs for the benefit of the people side. The project is funded by Baoding Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd. is hosted for 2 years, responsible for technical, management, raw material procurement and product marketing efforts. As has formed a complete industrial chain of polycrystalline silicon solar cell business, the company has become the master Yingli the latest generation of high-purity silicon purification technology of photovoltaic leader.

Solar photovoltaic power generation is relatively mature technology, with safe and reliable, no noise, no pollution, etc., is the conventional power generation and other power generation methods can not reach. According to reports, the annual output of solar cells, long before 2002 hovered at about 1% of global production, since 2004, especially in the international PV market in Germany, the Japanese market driven by strong demand, China's PV industry has developed rapidly in 2006 reached more than 10% share of the world, second only to Japan, Europe, ranking third in the world. In 2010 China's output of photovoltaic products can break 1,000 MW.
