Europe, America and Japan jointly promote electric cars

The European Commission has announced that the United States and Japan, with the automobile industry to promote an international joint powers agreement to promote the accelerated promotion of electric vehicles, and also discuss the specifications to make electric vehicles compatible with the requirements of consistency with each other, will take a closer cooperation.
The European Commission said the United States and Japan cooperative manner, to each other than their own development easier to achieve economies of scale threshold to further reduce the burden on businesses and the production costs of vehicles, and we look at the production of electric cars is still low, so if reached an agreement on cooperation and R & D results to each other to more efficient use, whether for economic or industry from the perspective of cost considerations, will play a very crucial significance.
And this agreement represents the most important, because in the past the development of electric cars are fragmented, regardless of the specifications of the battery, charging base is also the structure of the most obvious outlet, or type, etc., have taken very different design approach In this case the electric car to be able to spread, is indeed a fantasy, because just how many charging stations must be prepared to carry out the corresponding voltage and plug, is a big problem. Therefore, the European Commission intended to promote the agreement, countries will likely make in the development of future technologies related to electric vehicles, and take a unified framework for the development of electric vehicles can be an important step forward.
Under the cooperation agreement, the European Commission, the U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Japanese Ministry of Land, will take the electric cars on the establishment of two research teams, and in addition to Europe, America, Japan and three, but also China and India will be developing and emerging markets included, to ensure the effectiveness of the scope of the relevant agreements.
One of the research team will be responsible for electric vehicles and components used in the charging process and security issues after the accident, the other team is responsible for preventing electric cars for environmental problems arising. The main purpose of the two teams advance the formulation of future standards and related information exchange related regulatory measures for countries to avoid unnecessary differences and toward the development of a common global standard technical specifications and work.
