Chinese electric bus BYD - 325 km on a single charge

06.04.2014

Electric buses from Chinese company BYD have set a new record in Europe for green transport: they were able to cover 325 km on a single charge and still have 8% battery charge at the end of the trip.

Today, all companies involved in the production of electric vehicles are working on a solution to the problem of increasing the power reserve. The Chinese company BYD is no exception: its electric buses recently set a new record in Europe, covering a distance of 325 km on a single charge. Interestingly, the battery retained 8% charge by the end of the journey.

It is worth noting that the previous European record also belonged to BYD - 310 km on a single charge. And by the end of the trip, 31% of the battery charge remained. These figures were recorded in 2013 on a trip between Warsaw and Krakow.

As for the world record, it remains unchanged. The record was set in Malaysia, where local electric buses, according to representatives of Prasarana Transit, were able to cover more than 400 km on a single charge. So far, no other manufacturer has been able to achieve such indicators for electric buses.

Chinese record-breaking electric buses are currently operating in Copenhagen, where since January this year they have successfully confirmed their ability to work without interruption even in the harsh Scandinavian winter.

BYD electric buses are currently used in more than 25 European cities. In Ankara, BYD electric buses have already proven themselves from the best side, allowing to reduce the operating and operating costs of public transport by 80-90%.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>
