On July 26, Donghan New Energy Automotive Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hanergy Mobile Energy Holding Group Co., Ltd., and Bluecar, a subsidiary of BOLLORE GROUP, held a strategic cooperation framework agreement signing ceremony in Beijing. Wang Xin, general manager of Donghan New Energy Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. and Herve Champion, vice president of strategic cooperation and procurement of BOLLORE GROUP, signed the agreement on behalf of both parties. Zhang Bin, Executive Director and Senior Vice President of Hanergy Thin Film Power Generation Group, Ding Jian, Senior Vice President of Hanergy Thin Film Power Generation Group and CEO of Alta Devices, attended and witnessed the signing ceremony.
The signing of the strategic cooperation framework agreement marks that Donghan New Energy Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. and Bluecar Corporation have been able to cooperate in the design, manufacture and production of solar electric vehicles. In the future, by signing special agreements in the following four areas, the cooperation between the two sides may be further expanded and deepened. First, according to their core technologies and resources, they will jointly design, develop, and produce solar vehicles. Hanergy's mobile energy strategy has been fully launched, and Bluecar has mature automotive design, research and development, and mass production capabilities. The cooperation between the two parties can fully ensure the endurance and safety of solar vehicles. Second, carry out innovative and cooperative development in solar power generation and solid-state lithium battery energy storage, and use solar energy as a power source. In terms of new energy vehicles, Hanergy's thin-film solar technology and BOLLORE GROUP's solid-state lithium batteries will be organically combined into solar vehicle powertrains. Third, develop new energy vehicle cooperation business in the field of intelligent travel and public transportation. Bluecar put forward the concept of Internet car sharing in 2008, and has successfully operated globally. It has rich experience in the field of intelligent mobility and public transportation. Hanergy has already launched a number of transportation projects in ecological cities such as smart bus stations in mainland China. The cooperation between the two parties at this level has already established a good software and hardware foundation. Fourth, in the agreement areas including Asia, Africa and the Americas, cooperate in the development and construction of R & D centers, production bases and other projects. The two sides will establish a win-win strategic partnership for sustainable development, and believe that through the upcoming strategic cooperation, they can output higher business value and create more environmental benefits.
According to reports, Hanergy previously cooperated with Audi, BAIC and FAW to develop thin-film solar roofs for various models. And this time the BOLLORE GROUP Bluecar will subvert the new energy vehicle industry, and it will be possible for the car to obtain "a steady stream of" clean energy.
Since Hanergy entered the field of thin-film solar energy in 2009, it has quickly established its first-mover advantage in the industry through a series of precise overseas mergers and acquisitions, and through subsequent technology digestion and integration, persistent product research and development, and Deep plowing and becoming the world's leading thin film solar company. At present, Hanergy maintains four world records in the field of thin film solar energy, covering two main technical routes of copper indium gallium selenium (CIGS) and gallium arsenide (GaAs), and has cumulatively applied for more than 5,000 thin film solar patents. Hanergy's thin-film solar chips have the characteristics of high conversion efficiency, light weight per unit, and flexibility, creating a technical prerequisite for the application of thin-film solar technology in the automotive field.
The French BOLLORE GROUP is one of the top 500 in the world. Bluecar, a subsidiary of its electric vehicle manufacturing company, uses lithium metal polymer solid-state batteries (LMP®) manufactured by Bolore's subsidiary Blue Solutions and is principally engaged in the development, production, and operation of electric vehicles in Europe, Singapore, and the United States. The lithium metal polymer solid state battery (LMP®) technology of BOLLORE GROUP has the characteristics of high energy density, high cycle and high safety. It has been mass-produced in Bluecar electric vehicles for 7 years since its launch in 2011. No combustion accident occurred.
Throughout the world, European countries have proposed plans to stop selling fuel cars, and China has also put this plan on the agenda. New energy vehicles have become an important development direction for domestic and foreign auto companies. However, at present, there are many disadvantages of new energy electric vehicles. In addition to the poor battery life is a common concern of consumers, more importantly, although electric vehicles have no exhaust emissions, the source of electricity can be traced back to the environment by burning traditional energy Generate pollution. Therefore, the development of truly environmentally friendly new energy vehicles, which can get rid of the shackles of charging and achieve "permanent battery life", is a new direction of exploration in this field. The combination of Hanergy Mobile Energy Holding Group and BOLLORE GROUP in France will take a solid step to promote the change of clean energy to replace traditional energy in the automotive industry worldwide, and promote “zero energy consumption”, The ultimate realization of "emission-free" travel.
