An explosion of recent research on Li-ion battery
development, along with the growing international
commitment to the market penetration of battery
powered vehicles, has prompted development of the
SAE International 2011 Vehicle
Battery
Summit, November 14-15, 2011 in
Shanghai.
Designed to integrate the most recent battery
innovations with lessons learned in recent EV/PHEV
commercialization efforts, this year's Summit will build significantly on the
knowledge presented at last year's highly successful
(2010) Summit.
Last September, nearly 300 engineering and corporate
decision makers from leading battery, automotive,
energy storage/distribution companies and their
suppliers gathered in Shanghai to discuss Li-ion
battery innovations and research as well as their
implications for the market penetration of electric
and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Featuring
nearly thirty speakers from nine different countries
and delegates from 17 countries, last year's Summit
offered a uniquely global view of Li-ion battery
technology and EV/PHEV industries worldwide.
This year's Summit will again bring together the
world's most highly regarded engineers, scientists
and corporate representatives to update the industry
on the latest progress and plans for lithium based
battery technologies and research as well as their
implications for worldwide markets.
The Summit will be chaired by Dr. Menahem Anderman,
President of Advanced Automotive Batteries
and founder of Total Battery Consulting, Inc. An
expert battery consultant, Dr. Anderman is known
throughout the industry for his Advanced Automotive
Battery Conferences (AABC) and for publishing
multi-client studies of advanced vehicle and battery
markets and technologies, with an emphasis on energy
storage.
The Summit will feature more than 20 in-
depth presentations organized across four sessions:
Electrified Vehicle Market Development chaired by
Dr. Anderman; Innovations in Cell Chemistry for
Energy Storage chaired by Steven J. Visco, Polyplus
Battery Company; Battery Design for Safety and
Extended Life chaired by Dr. Robert Spotnitz of
Battery Design LLC; and Battery Pack Integration and
Charging Challenges and Solutions chaired by Dr.
Zhenxing Fu of Shanghai E-Propulsion Auto Technology
Company (SAIC).
A China Keynote will also address China's key role
in the global development of Li-ion batteries and
EV/PHEV markets as outlined in China's 12th Five
Year Plan and the Energy Saving and New Energy
Vehicle Development Plans.
