Hitachi NEOMAX rare earth permanent magnet for automotive applications

The neodymium magnet is a generic term for neodymium iron boron magnets. Its chemical formula is Nd2Fe14B, which is by far the strongest magnetic material. NEOMAX first introduced a series of neodymium magnet products in 1982, and its magnetic strength reached 10 times that of ferrite magnets. By 2007, Hitachi acquired NEOMAX, and since then NEOMAX has become a brand of Hitachi. NEOMAX® neodymium magnets are used in the manufacture of products such as built-in permanent magnet motors for EVs and HEVs to reduce the size of automotive electric motors, increase their efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.

Hyundai's pickup truck hybrid system will be put into test

Hino has announced the development of a new hybrid system for pickup trucks and will work with some customers to conduct field tests. The new hybrid system has a clutch between the engine and the electric motor. The system is capable of propelling the vehicle in pure motor power. Since the clutch does not directly drive the engine, more regenerative energy can be collected during vehicle deceleration. In addition, Hino improved the control system and increased the efficiency of the energy converter, which increased the fuel efficiency of the diesel engine truck by nearly 50%. The company plans to measure the fuel consumption of the hybrid system based on actual usage conditions and use the collected data to improve fuel efficiency. The goal is to commercialize the system in 2011.
