China’s Standardisation Administration is now giving its approval for new legislation covering charging of electric vehicles. The legislation is for issued four sections of the Electric Vehicle Charging Interface and Communication Protocol Standards. These are intended for electric charging stations and are being introduced in a bid to step up the use of electric vehicles, part of a wider policy to develop alternative-fuel transportation in China. There are three sections giving standards on EV conductive charging systems. These regulate general conditions and AC/DC charging interfaces, while one section is on communication protocol between off-board conductive charger and battery management systems. These standards were drafted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in conjunction with the National Energy Board, National Automotive Standardisation Technical Committee and China Enterprise Confederation and China Electric Power Research Institute.

    Major developments are in hand with regard to providing charging solutions for electric vehicles. This has been seen as a barrier to the introduction of electric vehicles on a widespread basis but various manufacturers are now developing systems to deal with the issue.Siemens and BMW are working on an easy-to-use fast charging plug for electric cars. This system will allow sufficient charging for a 100km range in less than 30 minutes.

    The alternatives to diesel fuel as a power source continue to grow as firms move to cut emissions - Mike Woof writes. Only the most myopic could have failed to notice that times are changing in terms of engine technology. In the on-highway automotive sector as well as for the off-highway construction machine segment, manufacturers are looking to lower tailpipe emissions. Similar technologies have been employed in both on-highway and off-highway sectors, although those solutions have been adapted to better
