    Electricity consumption and battery lifespan estimation for transit electric buses: drivetrain simulations and electrochemical modelling by Ana¨ıssiaFranca B.Eng, University of Victoria, 2015 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in the Department of Mechanical Engineering c Anaissia Franca, 2018 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Electricity consumption and battery lifespan estimation for transit electric buses: drivetrain simulations and electrochemical modelling by Ana¨ıssiaFranca B.Eng, University of Victoria, 2015 Supervisory Committee Dr. Curran Crawford, Supervisor (Department of Mechanical Engineering) Dr. Ned Djilali, Supervisor (Department of Mechanical engineering) iii ABSTRACT This thesis presents a battery electric bus energy consumption model (ECONS-M) coupled with an electrochemical battery capacity fade model (CFM). The underlying goals of the project were to develop analytical tools to support the integration of battery electric buses. ECONS-M projects the operating costs of electric bus and the potential emission reductions compared to diesel vehicles for a chosen transit route. CFM aims to predict the battery pack lifetime expected under the specific driving conditions of the route. A case study was run for a transit route in Victoria, BC chosen as a candidate to deploy a 2013 BYD electric bus. The novelty of this work mainly lays in its application to battery electric buses, as well as in the coupling of the ECONS-M and the electrochemical model to predict how long the batteries can last if the electric bus is deployed on a specific transit route everyday.

  • Volvo Cars and Geely Auto to Deepen Collaboration
    Volvo Cars and Geely Auto to Deepen Collaboration VOLVO CAR AB STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 24 FEBRUARY 2021 AT 14:30 CET Volvo Cars and Geely Auto have agreed on a wide-ranging collaboration that will maximise the strengths of the Swedish and Chinese automotive groups, delivering synergies in powertrains, sharing of electric vehicle architecture, joint procurement, autonomous drive technologies and aftersales. • Powertrain operations to be combined in new company focused on next-generation hybrid systems and internal combustion engines • Expanded use of shared modular architectures for electric vehicles (EVs) • Enhanced collaboration in autonomous and electric drive technologies • Joint procurement to cut purchasing costs • Lynk & Co to expand globally by utilising Volvo distribution and service network • Companies to retain independent corporate structures Following a detailed review of combination options, Volvo Cars and Geely Auto have concluded they can secure new growth opportunities in their respective markets and meet evolving industry challenges through deeper cooperation, while preserving their existing separate corporate structures. The deeper collaboration will enable existing stakeholders and potential new investors in Volvo Cars and Geely Auto to value their respective standalone strategies, performance, financial exposure and returns. We will also have the opportunity to explore capital market options. The collaboration will be overseen by a new governance model, supported by Geely Holding, the lead shareholder in both companies. Volvo Cars and Geely Auto confirmed the combination of their existing powertrain operations into a new standalone company. The company, expected to become operational this year, will provide internal combustion engines, transmissions, and next-generation dual-motor hybrid systems for use by both companies as well as other automobile manufacturers.

Many scholars indicate that the use of outside supplies is the sole reason for the high-speed growth of ICAMs. However, it is necessary to outline the reasons and factors that might contribute to the process at the company-level. This paper is based on the organizational view. It examines and clarifies the internal dynamics of the ICAMs from a historical perspective. The paper explores the role that international technology transfer has played in the emergence of ICAMs. In conclusion, it is clear that due to direct or indirect spillover from joint ventures, ICAMs were able to autonomously construct the necessary core competitive abilities.

  • Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Automobility in China Dr. Toni Marzotto
    Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Automobility in China Dr. Toni Marzotto “The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.” (Chinese Proverb)1 Title: The Rise of China's Auto Industry: Automobility with Chinese Characteristics Curriculum Project: The project is part of an interdisciplinary course taught in the Political Science Department entitled: The Machine that Changed the World: Automobility in an Age of Scarcity. This course looks at the effects of mass motorization in the United States and compares it with other countries. I am teaching the course this fall; my syllabus contains a section on Chinese Innovations and other global issues. This project will be used to expand this section. Grade Level: Undergraduate students in any major. This course is part of Towson University’s new Core Curriculum approved in 2011. My focus in this course is getting students to consider how automobiles foster the development of a built environment that comes to affect all aspects of life whether in the U.S., China or any country with a car culture. How much of our life is influenced by the automobile? We are what we drive! Objectives and Student Outcomes: My objective in teaching this interdisciplinary course is to provide students with an understanding of how the invention of the automobile in the 1890’s has come to dominate the world in which we live. Today an increasing number of individuals, across the globe, depend on the automobile for many activities. Although the United States was the first country to embrace mass motorization (there are more cars per 1000 inhabitants in the United States than in any other country in the world), other countries are catching up.

Without help and support from many people, I probably could not have taken this small step in escaping my own trap of ignorance and prejudice. I am immensely indebted to my dissertation committee members—Professors Sankaran Krishna, Hagen Koo, Ehito Kimura, Eric Harwit, and Colin Moore. Their insights and comments have been reliable lighthouses illuminating the ways I could go. Professor Sankaran Krishna has been an ideal advisor. He encouraged me to find my own path and showed me how to live a life as a scholar with dignity. Professor Hagen Koo has been a most reliable, accurate, and constructive sounding board. I will strive to reach his standard of scholarly integrity for the rest of my life. Professor Ehito Kimura’s thoughtful and timely comments made the whole process run smoothly. Professors Harwit and Moore’s sharp and constructive comments have been definitive in improving the quality of the dissertation. My sincere appreciation extends to Drs.

    Deutsche Bank Markets Research Industry Date 18 May 2016 China Autos Asia China Automobiles & Components Vincent Ha, CFA Fei Sun, CFA Research Analyst Research Analyst (+852 ) 2203 6247 (+852 ) 2203 6130 [email protected] [email protected] F.I.T.T. for investors What you should know about China's new energy vehicle (NEV) market Many players, but only a few are making meaningful earnings contributions One can question China’s target to put 5m New Energy Vehicles on the road by 2020, or its ambition to prove itself a technology leader in the field, but the surge in demand with 171k vehicles sold in 4Q15 cannot be denied. Policy imperatives and government support could ensure three-fold volume growth by 2020, which would make China half of this developing global market. New entrants are proliferating, with few clear winners as yet, but we conclude that Yutong and BYD have the scale of NEV sales today to support Buy ratings. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Deutsche Bank AG/Hong Kong Deutsche Bank does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports.
