Has consistently held that in the automotive and other traditional technology has lagged behind China, but in new areas such as fuel cells and the developed countries in China, “the same starting line,” but a matter of fact, the lack of large companies and the overall low level of industrialization of China’s two major weaknesses decision competing for the new technical standards for the commanding heights of the body when weak.
New future-oriented industries, the standard has always been dispute over the “fertile soil.”
Recently, Hitachi Japan to send managers as IEC (International Electrical Committee) TC105 micro fuel cell branch of the new “performance” department chairman, and pledged to spare no effort to help promote the fuel cell “international standardization” process. Sources pointed out earlier, the U.S. government to speed up the current and common, such as are several major car manufacturers, oil companies to develop hydrogen fuel cell technology standards.
Standards for fuel cells gradually drop the service?
Hitachi Universal’s standard impulse
According to sources, the current Japan in the development of micro fuel cell leader, the United States in the development of fuel cell vehicles have advantages. The use of technology and industry leader in the rapid development is conducive to their own standards, the early occupation of the market has become the two governments and General Motors, Toyota, Hitachi and other company’s “top priority”, inter-company cooperation between the standard consensus is reached ” hotbed. ”
Recently, by the Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry suggested that Toyota Motor, Matsushita Electric, Tokyo Gas, Sanyo Electric and other fuel-cell development in Chinese enterprises to set up a joint fuel cell development companies, the U.S. General Motors Corp. and BMW AG of Germany to form the fuel cell vehicle development has already begun to arrive Union so that these big companies in the consortium will develop gradually under the name “monopoly” of fuel cell standards.
Is the new source for fuel cell development by leading the Joint Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dalian Sundiro established several enterprises, such as companies, Hou Zhong-Jun, deputy general manager told the “International Herald Tribune” reporters, the International Electrotechnical Institute (IEEC) have begun to organization and implementation of fuel cells for the establishment of international standards, new source also sent a technical representative of the standard of writing and revision of the views put forward by Chinese experts.
On the other hand, China also began to develop its own fuel cell technology standards, and have been approved, Hou Zhong-Jun, currently has completed the proton exchange membrane fuel cell modules for the draft and the first amendment, being written by the fuel cell also includes standard, portable fuel cells for mobile power supply standard.
However, can not be questioned, in the encircled international industrial giant, China’s standards in the fuel cell for a certain extent already in the “marginalized” status, “China’s fuel cell is not standard international voice loud” in a ASTRI researchers say.
Industry standards into China’s internal injury
China’s voices of vulnerable fuel cell standards is the fundamental reason for the lack of a strong advance of large companies, China’s major automobile enterprises to joint-venture enterprises and foreign joint venture partner for the standard fuel-cell advocates, it is difficult to expect these companies invest a lot of money fuel cell research in China, private enterprises because of the reasons for return, the general did not dare this new area of investment.
HOU Zhong-Jun of China has also raised the development of fuel cells where the difficulties lie: the main fuel cells in China and investment by the state, in the University Institute for the development of small enterprises invested a large amount of human and material resources, so as a result of financial and resource constraints, the development process slower.
“China is still way out of the fuel cell should be in the country’s support, play a major automotive companies and enterprises in the automotive design, manufacturing advantages, combined with fuel cell R & D institutions experts and the common development of fuel cell electric vehicles, take full advantage of all aspects of technology and financial resources to jointly promote the development of fuel cell technology. “Hou said in the Army in order to ensure that the fuel cell market in the future standards of a place in China. At the same time, large companies the advantage of close to market fuel cell technology will enable the rapid market-oriented, only the market can become a reality the standards of the standards, and China on this point “inherently.”
R & D level is another to determine the standard “to” an important force , but the Chinese-led research and development and there is no advantage.
An industry source told “International Herald Tribune” reporters, the international high level of fuel cell technology countries, including Canada, the United States, Japan, China’s fuel cell technology than the overall gap between these countries.
The technology gap between the major works in the battery technology, by the country’s overall level of industrial technology, that is, the development of large-scale cell battery module, the technology level of the level of industrial processing technology as well as a great influence on the level of parts and components processing These factors have a direct impact on R & D capacity battery module.
New energy is still controversial car?
Recently held in Hainan meeting new energy future, energy car which is still the subject of expert debate, solar, natural gas, etc. into the program was still taking it in turns. Who preferred to remain anonymous experts have pointed out that in the international arena, fuel cell car has become a new energy industry, the actual choices, while in China, various experts and do not want to give up their own research direction, the impact is still to the Government’s new energy options .
HOU Zhong-Jun told the “International Herald Tribune”, a number of new motor vehicle can be divided into two categories: diesel, natural gas and hydrogen internal combustion engine-powered low-emission internal combustion engine cars and a variety of power-driven electric vehicles. Zero emission electric vehicles can achieve emissions from the fuel reserves at the same time constraints, the power to choose the future. In electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicle is the advantage of zero emissions, is absolutely clean, while the energy density is much higher than solar cells, lithium, nickel-hydrogen batteries and so on, has become the first choice for the development of electric vehicles approach. Japan has the fuel cell as a “strategy to create new industries in Japan,” the first choice, focus on the development.
China in the fuel cell to increase the area of the right to speak, has no hesitation and vacillation in China, or else the future will be handed a huge market for anyone.
