Recently, the China Electric Vehicle 100 Forum with the theme of “Promoting the modernization of China’s automobile industry” was held in Beijing. The conference focused on promoting the sustainable development of new energy, exploring smart vehicles, industrial digitalization, power batteries and other subdivisions, and jointly advocating green, low-carbon, circular and sustainable development modes with the global industrial chain, and jointly building a community of shared future for the new energy industry.
Cui Chengtong, senior Vice president of LG New Energy and director of Automotive Battery Research Institute, attended the main forum unit of this conference, as a representative of the world’s first-class battery enterprises and new energy automotive industry leaders to jointly discuss the integration of green energy and new energy vehicles development actions and paths, and share the achievements of LG New energy in the direction of green energy and sustainable development. With the rapid development of the new energy automobile industry, the power battery industry as an important part of the development link has played a vital role. LG New Energy has always strengthened its value competitiveness with innovative technology, global layout and diversified product portfolio to meet the demand for power batteries for new energy vehicles.
LG New Energy has a strong global business network, and with General Motors, Stellantis N.V., Hyundai Motor Group, Honda Motor and other global mainstream auto brand joint venture to build production bases, covering the core regions of North America, Europe, Asia. Relying on the distribution of production sites around the world, to achieve the customer’s demand for fast and stable supply in the world’s major markets, it is expected that by 2025, the global production capacity will reach
540GWh. In the field of battery technology innovation and research and development, LG New Energy has continued to cultivate for 30 years, with more than 34,000 employees and 25,000 patents worldwide, ranking first in the world.
Through continuous industrial investment, LG New Energy aims to help the global new energy automobile industry achieve high-quality and stable development with technological innovation. Especially in understanding the pain points of the four core user needs of new energy vehicles, including higher driving range, convenient fast charging, inclusive price and safety, LG New Energy will increase the driving range to 800 kilometers with the help of the leading high-nickel four-yuan lithium battery and soft package CTP technology, which is close to the level of fuel vehicles. In addition, through high-efficiency silicon technology, it can meet the fast charge of 300 kilometers in 10 minutes, and it is convenient to travel. In addition, the use of new materials can save core costs and reach the purchasing power parity point, LG New Energy also ensures the safety of power batteries through advanced thermal diffusion solutions and thermal management.
Intelligent manufacturing is the only way for the high-quality development of the global new energy battery industry. Under the background of global Industry 4.0, exploring and promoting the new energy battery industry to enter a new journey of intelligent, efficient, green and low-carbon development has become a hot topic of the industry. LG New Energy is committed to building a “smart factory” on a global scale. By establishing an automated, systematic, digital and intelligent production process, we can achieve data collection, information tracing and condition monitoring in the production line. Connect the global production network under the integration of research and development, design, supply chain and management after-sales service, save resources, improve efficiency, ensure that products meet global standards, and promote the advanced development of intelligent manufacturing industry.
In addition, in order to achieve energy conversion and carbon neutrality, LG New Energy ensures the effective management and application of energy through Baas (Battery as a Service), and always promotes the transformation of clean and green energy. In the circular economy program, LG New Energy considers the reuse, recycling and disposal methods of lithium-ion batteries, reduces the cost of batteries in the new energy era, and creates a new concept of circular economy in the battery industry. The forum shared that LG new energy, as an industry benchmark, shows the blueprint in the global industrial layout, highlighting the progress of green products, green factories and promoting the green cycle of resources as a leading enterprise in the global battery field, and providing new solutions for the upstream and downstream of the new energy vehicle industry chain.
