By the end of 2010 lithium battery electrode production capacity increased by 50-fold
It AsiaPulse reported that under the new electric car from Nissan in 2010, production plan, the Japanese NEC Dong-Jin (NECTokin) will further strengthen its lithium-ion battery electrode production capacity to be achieved by the end of 2010 will be lithium-ion battery electrode is about 50 times increase in production capacity.
NEC Tokin Corporation Toyama Prefecture, Japan is currently in its factories, it is a lithium-ion battery electrode plate (cathode and anode) production line. To increase capacity, the company expects to 13.7 billion yen (145 million U.S. dollars) in Japan, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture additional five production lines. The first of a new production line will be completed before the end of September this year and will be in April 2010 and commissioned. The other four new production lines should be operational by the end of 2010. This five new lines of production capacity will be this line of production is currently about 10 times.
NEC Tokin Corporation Sagamihara City, which is basically the electrode is fully filled Nissan Motor, NEC, NEC Tokin joint venture AESC (AutomotiveEnergySupplyCorp.). Expand production line also NEC Dong-Jin The company also plans to expand the plant to meet the future needs of Nissan Motor Company, and to ensure that capacity exists to supply other businesses car.
On 16 July this year, Nissan Motor, NEC, NEC Tokin Corporation jointly announced, AESC has begun in Kanagawa Prefecture, Nissan Zama Operation Center (Zama Operations Center) pilot lithium ion battery car, the initial capacity of annual production 1.3 million units, followed by a gradual expansion of production capacity at the end of 2010 with an annual capacity of 6.5 million units. AESC for Nissan in 2010 in the United States and Japan have launched new electric cars, and Nissan has a hybrid vehicle supply lithium-ion batteries. At the same time, the company said it intends to achieve economies of scale production, lithium other car companies provide ion battery.
