What is a new energy car?

New energy vehicles refer to all other energy vehicles except gasoline and diesel engines, including fuel cell vehicles, hybrid vehicles, hydrogen-powered vehicles and solar vehicles, whose emissions are relatively low.

According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 4 million LPG vehicles and more than 1 million natural gas vehicles in the world. At present, most of the new energy vehicles on the market in China are hybrid electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles.

According to the definition of the announcement of the National Development and Reform Commission of the People's Republic of China, new energy vehicles refer to vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies and new structures, which use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or conventional vehicle fuels and new vehicle power devices) and integrate advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving.

According to the data of China Automobile Industry Association, in 2018, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China completed 1.27 million vehicles and 1.256 million vehicles respectively, increasing by 59.9% and 61.7% respectively over the same period of last year. In order to improve the output power, the bus voltage of new energy vehicles tends to increase continuously, which puts forward higher requirements for the performance of DC support capacitors, while the performance of thin film capacitors is due to aluminium and electricity. De-capacitor and thin film capacitor are the preferred DC support capacitors for new energy vehicles instead of aluminium electrolytic capacitors. In summary, the rapid development of new energy automotive industry has provided new impetus for the development of thin film capacitors.
