Evo, Japonci bodo skupini PSA prodajali baterije za hibride (ko bi jim tudi se ostalo elektroniko). =)

SANYO to Supply HEV Ni-MH Battery System to PSA Peugeot Citroën
Tokyo, November 2, 2009 – SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO), a world leader in battery technology, is pleased to announce that SANYO will supply the nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery systems for hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) to PSA Peugeot Citroën, one of the largest car manufacturers in Europe. PSA Peugeot Citroën will equip these battery systems to its Hybrid Diesel Technology - Hybrid4 – that will be factory fitted first on the crossover "Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4" and on the "Citroen DS5 Hybrid4", to be manufactured in 2011.
Given the growing public concern for environmental protection, SANYO is strengthening its business by intensively developing rechargeable batteries for environmentally friendly vehicles, which are expected to see a surge in demand in the coming years. In addition to providing HEV Ni-MH batteries to Ford and Honda, SANYO has been carrying out joint development with Volkswagen for next-generation Ni-MH battery systems since January 2006, and lithium-ion battery systems since May 2008.
SANYO will continue to accelerate the development and marketing of high performance battery systems and globally expand its business in rechargeable batteries used in environmentally friendly vehicles.
"japonci" recimo njihova tehnologija, izdelava pa kitajci. Pred dnevi sem bral, da bodo prav kirajci postali vodilni v izdelavi baterij in elektro avtov, saj imajo surovin dovolj, poceni delovne sile pa tudi.
Ah, Sanyo bo itak v naslednjem mesecu ali dveh kupil Panasonic (predvsem zaradi programa solarne energije), tako da ostaja tipicna japonska korporacija.
Kitajc ze mogoce naredi kake low-cost zadeve, a kar je naprednih resitev, se vedno nimajo dovolj natancne tehnologije, znanja pa se manj ... Bi se pa strinjal, da bodo imeli 2015 ali 2020 naprej najvec elektricnih avtov Kitajci ...
