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.

    An innovative electric road concept has been developed in Sweden by researchers at Lund University.. The new system features a conductive rail on the road surface, which is inactive until an EV passes over the top. The EV can be charged with up to 160kW by the rail, with the system offering an efficiency claimed to be as high as 97%. The system could allow EVs to feature smaller, lower cost batteries as range extension would be delivered by the charging system instead.

  • The Path to Climate-Neutral Road Construction
    October 1, 2023
    Machine manufacturers and construction companies around the globe are currently searching for ways to achieve the goal of climate-neutral construction. The challenge here is to successively reduce emissions of CO2 and other harmful gases (summarized to CO2 equivalents: CO2e) around the world to zero over the coming decades. In the road construction sector, this transformation is inextricably linked to the improvement and further development of production and working processes. In the future, machines and construction materials will also be assessed based on the climate-harmful emissions arising from their production and use. However, the focus should not be on individual machines, but on the entire process leading up to the finished product – a road. Ultimately, the decisive factor is the emissions generated per kilometer of newly built or rehabilitated road – the “CO2e per work done”.
