On August 3, 2007, the second session of the 2007 Hybrid Vehicle Control Technology Seminar was held in Harbin. During the seminar, Academician Chen Qingquan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and an internationally renowned expert in the electric vehicle field, listened to Powtran Technology’s presentation on the technology and industrial development of key hybrid vehicle components—motors and controllers—and was delighted to inscribe the following words: “Seek truth, be pragmatic, and foster innovation—contributing to the development of new-energy vehicles in our country.”
Academician Chen Qingquan currently holds the positions of Distinguished Professor and Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Hong Kong, as well as the Honda Engineering Chair Professor in Japan. He is an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK), a Fellow of the Ukrainian Academy of Engineering, and a Fellow of the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering. He is also a Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in the U.S., a Senior Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) in the UK, President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, Founder and Chairman of the World Electric Vehicle Association, and has been honored by the prestigious journal Global View as the “Father of Electric Vehicles in Asia.”
Powtran Technology is dedicated to the research and development of energy-saving and environmentally friendly products. In 2006, as the leading unit of a project, it undertook a major project under the “11th Five-Year” 863 Program—“Energy-Saving and New-Energy Vehicles”—and developed key technologies for hybrid bus drive motor systems. Specifically, Powtran Technology completed the design, prototyping, and testing of the motor and its controller for FAW’s hybrid buses, meeting the performance targets specified in the component contract, and successfully coordinated these components with the vehicle assembly and testing. The company addressed critical challenges such as low-speed torque, high efficiency, and lightweight design, while also conducting research aimed at enhancing system reliability and environmental adaptability, and has now entered the stage of industrialization. Currently, the project is progressing according to the milestones stipulated in the contract. The encouragement and support from Academician Chen, as well as the cooperation from the vehicle manufacturer, will accelerate the project’s progress.
