How helpful those Volvo battery car body panels?

Gothenburg ,  -Eco friendly or go green is good headline news everyday. Thus, How helpful those Volvo battery car body panels?

Battery main factors that cause the car is still expensive , limited temopuh distance and recharging the battery takes a long time . The battery also causes the weight to be more severe and dangerous for active . Additionally , disposal should also be careful because it could explode .

Well , to reduce the problem , Volvo with project leader Imperial College London ( ICL ) , the UK , developing new technologies , which also functions as a battery car body panels . Volvonya call it , " the energy storage component of lightweight structures that can increase energy use of electric cars in the future " . The project is funded by the European Union and invited various renowned companies .

The result , quite exhilarating and could be a new era of development for the future of electric cars . Volvo with another team managed to create body panels for S80 models made ​​of fiber glass nano-tech , in which there is sheet battery components . Each sheet is formed so that the battery can be attached behind the structure of car body panels .

Carbon fiber
Glance looks like ordinary carbon fiber material , sepewrti used in racing cars . However, this panel can store and deliver electricity . The body panels generate electricity voltage of 12 volts , can be used for the needs of the completeness of cars that use electricity . Volvo call components as "Structural Super Capacitor " that can recharge its power faster than regular batteries .

Imagine if this technology is embedded in all panels of vehicles, such as the hood, trunk lid , roof and doors , will produce electrical energy which can drive the car. Volvo calculate , by utilizing this technology , electric cars could dikurangi15 weight percent . It took about 3.5 years to create this technology .

There has been no explanation , when this technology could be used by the automotive industry .

Before automated assembly line, modern car assembly line is dominated

In the moving assembly systems , cars are assembled in the production line where each worker installing car parts separately before passed to another worker who put in front of another part . When he reached the threshold , the car has been finished assembled .

The method has been made ​​Ford one century ago this was a method of mass production of the car was then considered the most efficient method and was later adopted by almost all the brands in the world .

" A hundred years ago , my great-grandfather had a vision to build a safe and efficient transportation for everyone , " said Bill Ford , Ford's executive chairman .

" The core principles of Henry Ford that quality components , workflow , and efficiency of the division of labor is still relevant today . Taking advantage of that tradition , we accelerate efforts to standardize production , creating a more flexible production facilities and introducing advanced technologies to efficiently produce vehicles best at the best value to our customers wherever they are , " said John Fleming , Ford executive vice president of Global Manufacturing .

And for the first time in history , quality vehicles become affordable for the community . Finally , Ford is producing a Model T every 24 seconds and managed to sell over 15 million units worldwide in 1927 , approximately half of all cars sold at that time .

In 1914 , Ford set a " daily wage of $ 5 " , a significant wage at the time, to allow employees to buy vehicles they produce . This step creates loyalty among workers and acclaimed Ford raises new middle-class consumers who are not hindered by geographical boundaries , free to travel on the open road , live wherever they want and pursue the dream of " America ".
