Pride pure electric vehicle battery system capacity doubles next year

Yesterday in Daxing Caiyu Development Zone, the production workshop of Beijing Pride New Energy Battery Technology Company was busy. Every 20 minutes, there was a boxy blue battery module that was born from the fully automatic production line. So far, all the pure electric passenger cars that Beijing has put into operation have driven batteries from this production line.

The production line that Pride is running may seem insignificant, but the technology is full of gold. 8 sets of laser welding machines, 2 sets of ABB automatic robots perform their duties on the assembly line, positive and negative electrodes are welded, and eight processes such as screw mounting and solder spot coating are performed at one go. After the quality inspection, the workers can assemble the complete battery system. .

What is remarkable is that this production line is completely independent and R&D, and only spent 13 million yuan. "If you import directly, the cost will be as high as 100 million yuan." Pride executive vice president Li Xinhong said that the production line built next year will fully automate the final link of the battery system assembly, and the production of the cell core produced by Fujian OEM will also be transferred. In Beijing, large-scale production will significantly reduce the cost of battery systems and create conditions for electric vehicles to enter the home.

"This is the battery system of the Beijing Post Logistics M30, 103 batteries; this is the battery system of the Changan Automobile Passenger Vehicle, 204 batteries." The site staff proudly told the reporter that the performance of the Pride car lithium battery is not lost. BYD is widely recognized in the industry, and domestic and foreign companies such as BAIC, Beiqi Foton, Zhejiang Zhongtai, Shandong Shifeng, Changan Automobile and even Finland Sandvik Group have purchased here.

In Beijing, the Pride lithium battery system has been equipped with more than 1,500 new energy vehicles. Fang Qing, general manager of Beiqi New Energy Automobile Company, disclosed that by the end of this year, 700 pure electric vehicles will be put into demonstration operation. Among them, 100 Saabs are used as public security patrol cars, 350 C30 self-owned brand hatchbacks are operated within the BAIC Group, and 250 M30s are used as urban logistics courier vehicles. These pure electric vehicles will all use Pride batteries.

It was also learned that Beiqi Foton had added 200 sets of battery system orders after the Yanqing Demonstration Operation of 50 MiDi taxis, and it was expected to deliver half of the end of the year. Changan Automobile ordered 105 batteries for the C302 electric vehicle and will soon be in Fangshan. The area operates taxi demonstrations.

The Prader Company, established in April 2010, is jointly funded by Peking University's Advance Science and Technology Industry Corporation, Dongguan Xinnengde Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Automotive Holdings, and Beiqi Foton. By the end of this year, it expects to produce 2,000 sets of batteries and realize sales of 200 million yuan. According to company plans, sales in 2015 will increase to 10 billion yuan.

From the demonstration of the first pure electric bus fleet in China in 2005, pure electric vehicles will be promoted to the policing, sanitation, logistics, and rental sectors this year, and the Beijing electric vehicle market will soon expand. "Next year, the government plans to arrange for the purchase of 7000 pure electric vehicles. Under a number of subsidy support policies, the scale of private purchases of electric vehicles is also expected to reach 30,000." Li Xinhong said that in order to welcome the rapid increase in the number of electric vehicles, The company has decided to expand its production capacity. In June next year, a new fully automated production line will be built, and the total battery system capacity will be increased from 12,000 units to 30,000 units.
