Chapter 1091: Cybertron Hydrogen Car

"Cybertron Automotive & Cable Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in various types of fuel cell vehicles, using electric motors as power sources..."

What is a fuel cell?

I am afraid that most Chinese people do not understand this.

After Holk talked with the Chinese about some factory issues, he talked with them about the car.

——According to Catherine, it is to let them accept such a car as soon as possible!

But at this time, many people don't even know what such a fuel cell is!

In order to explain the eligibility issue, Holk had to pull out the Chinese personnel alone to talk again.

"Among the many new energy vehicles, fuel cell vehicles are considered to be an important direction for the sustainable development of the automotive industry in the future due to their advantages of zero emissions, high efficiency, diversified fuel sources, and renewable energy. The ideal climate change plan. This plan has been the first to launch practical tests in the UAE. We believe that the Chinese also need a new energy source. You are too far away from the world, so you need such a reasonable solution. But Traditional fuel vehicles, in our opinion, are not feasible. We in the United States have followed the path of traditional fuel vehicles, but this type of vehicle has shown many drawbacks—especially urban pollution and pollution caused by vehicle exhaust. The impact on human health. We don’t know what the federal government wants to do. But for our Ark Group and Cybertron, we really want China to develop new energy vehicles. In our view, Fuel cell vehicles are a good solution. China can skip the development of fuel vehicles and take the lead in the next step... Please trust us, otherwise we will not invest 3 billion US dollars, just to build several hydrogen manufacturing plants. "

I didn’t tell you that I was treating you all as guinea pigs, huh!

On the Chinese side, there are several responsible persons in Chinese tunic suits.

The headed Mr. Li was obviously born in the automobile industry, and he obviously has a great say in this car.

"Then what exactly is your fuel cell car like? What's the mileage?"

"We already have a test car, although unfortunately we can't bring it to China. But I think you should know this data."

The prepared information is sent down.

"The power of fuel cells is strong. The core technology of our fuel cell vehicles is a new generation of fuel cell drive systems, which are more compact in size, stronger in power output, and safer to use."

"Please pay attention to the picture..."

Holk suddenly wanted to talk about slides, but there is no such high technology here. But the photos have been posted along with the information, so there is no problem.

"Most of the components of this fuel cell drive system are located on the lower part of the cockpit floor, including gas storage tanks, fuel cell reactors, batteries, power distribution components, etc., which do not take up much space in the car. It is only due to the floor and sitting posture in the car. All have been improved, and there is a slight impact when getting on and off the car, but this is not a problem at all.

"The layout of the bottom of the system. To a certain extent, the center of gravity of the body is reduced, and the drive system is very effectively protected. Even if a collision occurs, the system can be relatively safe."

The United States is a big automobile country, and Holk used to work for General Motors. Of course, he has come to the problem of automobiles easily.

"The vehicle is equipped with three hydrogen storage tanks with a pressure of 700 bar (pressure unit). Each hydrogen storage tank can store about 4 kg of gaseous fuel. When the hydrogen storage tank is full of fuel, the cruising range can reach 400 kilometers. "

"When the fuel is exhausted, at a fixed hydrogen replenishment station with 700 bar compression technology. It only takes three minutes for a vehicle to complete refueling, which is nothing compared to a normal car. If you use a mobile replenishment station, It takes about 20 minutes for the vehicle to refuel because the pressure is relatively low."

But at this time, the Chinese side stopped talking.

Although they have cars, they still don't know so much about such civilian cars.

In fact, they came here to refer to how the Americans did it.

"When the driver brakes or releases the accelerator pedal, the on-board motor can convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is stored in the rear battery for later use in the vehicle. This is the so-called energy recovery process. In short-distance driving The electric motor will use battery power. If the battery power is insufficient, the system will automatically switch to the fuel cell to extend the range of the vehicle. Under different driving conditions, the on-board intelligent driving management system will decide on its own from the battery, fuel cell reactor, Or obtain energy from two energy sources at the same time to better maintain driving efficiency. So although the cruising range is 400 kilometers when the fuel cell is fully used, in fact, our car can run farther."

"In addition, the peak output power of the electric motor of the fuel cell vehicle drive system is 100 kilowatts and 136 horsepower. With the high torque characteristics of the electric motor, it can output a maximum torque of up to 290nm at the moment of starting. It is equivalent to the power level of a 2.0-liter gasoline engine. It does not have the feeling of weak power when starting or accelerating, and the smooth power output process is absolutely unmatched by ordinary gasoline engines."

When he said this, Holk smiled.

In fact, Holk has also been replaced by a fuel cell vehicle, for no other reason. This fuel cell vehicle is too fun...

"The layout of the fuel cell system reduces the center of gravity of the vehicle, improves the vehicle's handling performance to a certain extent, and is more stable when cornering."

"In addition, when idling, the interior of the car is very quiet and stable. Compared with the roaring gasoline car, this hydrogen car is simply perfect!"

Well, fuel cell vehicles are indeed perfect in other situations except when there is a car accident.

However, in the event of a car accident, as long as the design is reasonable, there will be no major problems.

Not all cars are like Japanese cars...

Thinking of this, Holk suddenly thought of Miss Catherine Edson's car.

In front of the ox-sky car, I'm afraid that any car is just like paper...

"But this fuel cell car...the most expensive thing is the cost...?"

Mr. Li asked again.

"Indeed, but this cost is mainly manifested in fuel, so we have an investment of 3 billion in fuel." Holk explained: "But please don't worry about this. Our hydrogen depends on platinum as a catalyst. It is obtained by cracking by sunlight, but in fact, such a catalyst itself will not have any loss, and because it uses solar energy, it will not consume much energy. Using this, we can easily It produces enough hydrogen. Compared to oil, this is simply an inexhaustible and inexhaustible energy source..."

It is really inexhaustible...Anyway, platinum is there, and it won't run away by itself...

After hearing the other party's words, the Chinese also understood a little bit.

"If these energy sources are put there, it may take ten or even twenty years to recover the cost. But you should not focus on the immediate benefits. This is a long-term project, a long-term strategic goal-at least you It is possible to be ahead of foreign technology through energy, because this fuel cell technology is only used by you..."

The painted pie is very beautiful.

"In terms of research on key technologies for fuel cell engine cost control, we actually have a longer-term plan. On the one hand, we are studying low-platinum fuel cell technology to reduce the amount of catalysts. On the other hand, we are studying the anti-toxicity of catalysts, reducing their operating costs, and developing Non-platinum catalysts to replace the precious metal platinum."

"Perhaps this generation of hydrogen energy production costs are very high, but the cost of the next generation is not necessarily."

Holker paused and continued: "By using core-shell alloy catalysts, ordered mea and other technologies, we have used this low-platinum technology in the laboratory to greatly reduce the use of this precious metal."

Holk left a little silent, that is, there is platinum in the engine, the content is 30 grams, but this is a laboratory technology, they expect to reduce the amount to 30% after 1982, which is 9 grams.

However, from production to completion, Holk believes that China's demand for cars will not be high in the past few years, so he has enough time to maintain development, which is not a problem at all.

And they are already studying the use of catalysts composed of carbon, iron, and cobalt, the cost of which is very low.

If this method can be adopted, the cost of fuel cell vehicles can even be cheaper than gasoline vehicles.

"Mr. Holk, I also found a lot of problems with your fuel cell vehicle technology. The structure of this fuel cell vehicle... is this different from traditional vehicles?"

Mr. Li frowned when looking at the information on this ~lightnovelpub.net~. Although the Chinese was used in a very considerate manner, Mr. Li still didn't understand it.

After the translator translated the other party’s words, Holk nodded and took the lead: “The fuel cell vehicle is a complex system of'electromechanical liquid hydrogen' interacting with each other. It is a complex system that relies on industrial foundations such as machinery, chemicals, power electronics, and materials. It is a system involving vehicle engineering, mechanical engineering, material engineering, management engineering, information engineering, traffic engineering and other interdisciplinary integration systems. It is a complex of scientific and technological issues involving basic scientific research, cutting-edge technology development, and new technology applications. But This is precisely because this technology involves these aspects, so what you have introduced is by no means just a simple automobile technology, it is a leap-forward improvement of your overall technological level in China."

This is the old negotiator, and after a few words, even Mr. Li was moved by cleverly turning a bad thing into a good thing.

The capitalist’s mouth is still very powerful...
