The 200MA needs to start to level out and sneak upwards in time for the 50MA to cross over both going up. Golden Cross! We need some good news of profitable production with reducing costs, and we'll see this go back up again.

[jailbird] 02/7/2007 18:38

thanks,

so getting there maybe

[gsands] 02/7/2007 16:52

50 day crosses up through the 200 day.

[jailbird] 02/7/2007 16:51

gsands,

golden cross almost forming i see..

tell me again..50MA crosses 200MA

or 200MA crosses 50MA

or does not matter...and both must be rising to make it more bullish.?

Odyne to Provide Battery System Technology for Mexico City Fleet EV Conversions

28 June 2007

Odyne Corporation, a developer of advanced plug-in hybrid electric vehicle powertrain (PHEV) technology for trucks and buses, has signed a strategic supplier agreement to provide lead-acid battery management system technology for the conversion of Mexico City's municipal Nissan Tsuru car fleet to electric drive.

Odyne will supply battery management trays, onboard charging systems and other necessary peripheral technology for the stored energy systems to be used in the conversion of the first 500 of the 2,000 Nissan Tsurus to electric drive within two years. The agreement potentially could be extended to include the entire car fleet. (Earlier post.)

Electro Autos Eficaces de Mexico, S.A. (EAE), a government-supported consortium overseeing the conversion, has also signed a supply agreement with Azure Dynamics for 1,000 drive systems for the conversions.

The converted Tsurus use a battery system comprising 15 12-volt AGM lead-acid batteries from Enersys, divided into a pack of 7 batteries under the hood and a pack of 8 in the trunk. The electric Tsuru has a range 75-105 km (47-65 miles) and a top speed of 100 kph (62 mph).

Odyne is contributing expertise in lead acid battery management systems, which we believe is a key factor in the reliability of the fleet conversion project. Without Odyne's expertise, we would not be able to achieve acceptable cycle life of our lead acid batteries.

-Luis Pérez Quintana, EAE
With a population of approximately 25 million people, Mexico City is the third-largest city in the world and currently operates more than 25,000 Nissan Tsurus to conduct government business throughout the city.

This agreement with Electro Autos Eficaces de Mexico represents a new market expansion opportunity for Odyne that complements Odyne's primary focus on providing plug-in hybrid electric and electric vehicle powertrains for Class 6,7 and 8 trucks and buses.

Although final pricing and specifications are still being developed, it is estimated that the total award to Odyne for the first 500 vehicles would be between $1.2 and $1.7 million, depending upon the options ordered.

Ford Motor Cars will use less fuel, Senate assures


WASHINGTON (AP) - The cars, SUVS and pickups people will buy in
the years ahead are likely to use less fuel, and many will rely on ethanol or
household electricity instead of gasoline. The energy legislation pushed through
the Senate this week provides a roadmap to the future, demanding higher
automobile fuel economy, mandating huge increases in ethanol as a motor fuel and
supporting more research into building "plug-in" hybrid-electric vehicles.
While Senate Republicans complained that the bill does nothing to increase
domestic oil production, Democrats said that's because the nation must move
energy policy away from its heavy reliance on oil.
The House is preparing its own version.
The Senate bill requires automakers to increase fuel economy to 35 miles per
gallon, about a 40 percent increase over what cars, SUVs and small trucks are
required to achieve now. It would lump all the vehicles under a single
regulation, but also give manufacturers flexibility so large SUVs wouldn't have
to meet the same requirements as smaller cars.
It requires a yearly increase of ethanol production to 36 billion gallons a
year by 2022, a sevenfold increase from today. By 2015 half of the new vehicles
offered to buyers -- as many as 10 million -- will have to be capable of running
on 85 percent ethanol, biodiesel or some other alternative energy source.
And for the first time, the president must find ways to cut oil demand by 20
percent of what it is expected to be in 2017 -- a target President Bush has
embraced -- and attain further reductions after that. Gasoline demand is
expected to grow 13 percent to 261 billion gallons a year by 2017 without some
fuel saving measures.
But will auto showrooms provide the same selection of vehicles? Will they be
as big, as powerful, as safe?
"I would expect them to look a lot like they do today, the same size, the
same acceleration and the same or even better safety," says David Friedman,
director of the clean vehicles program at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
He maintains they will have better technology, better engines, more
efficient transmissions and stronger aluminum bodies. They'll cost a little more
but use much less gasoline.
"The goal is to replace fossil fuels with alternative fuels and use
conservation," said Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., who was involved in the
discussions on many of the auto fuel economy and motor fuel issues that ended up
in the bill.
What has changed from a few years ago, she said, is there no longer is "a
fear factor that you're going to be in itty bitty cars" if the government
requires automakers to make more fuel efficient vehicles.
In addition to making conventional cars more fuel efficient, the bill seeks
to boost research into use of lithium-ion batteries -- like those used in laptop
computers and cameras -- in vehicles.
Should ways be found to make them more durable in a vehicle environment,
cars could be plugged into an electric socket at home, relying only rarely on
gasoline, says Friedman. Some studies have estimated the fuel cost -- mostly the
cost of electricity and a small amount of gasoline -- would be equivalent to
about $1 a gallon, said Cantwell.
Automakers, lobbying hard against the fuel economy provision in the Senate
bill, expressed continued concern Friday about their ability to meet the new
requirements without changing the mix of cars they will be able to provide in
the showrooms of 2020.
"There's no way you can get those numbers without a dramatic shift in
consumer choice," insisted Mark LaNeve, General Motors' vice president of North
America sales, service and marketing. "We don't know how it's attainable."
Eric Ridenour, chief operating officer at Chrysler Group, where three of
every four vehicles are built on truck frames, said the company will have to
decide whether to keep selling some of its larger vehicles.
"Clearly the larger family-sized vehicles will be the ones that will be most
at risk," said Ridenour. "The end result will be lighter, smaller vehicles in
general." He envisioned generally smaller cars and more of them running on
diesel.
Ford Motor Co. is committed to increasing auto fuel economy, said Alan
Mulally, the company's chief executive. "It's what customers want. It's what
they value."
But is it possible technically to meet the proposed 35 mpg fleet
requirements even with a new way of calculating compliance taking into account
vehicles size?
"That's the only debate," said Mulally on Friday at a Ford assembly plant in
Chicago where the company was introducing its new Taurus model, one that travels
28 mpg on the open road.

Seems clear now (from Tanfield) that ENOVA is the preferred supplier for their electric trucks drive system.

[sir josephs mate] 15/6/2007 06:58

66c or 31.3640p in Canada!

[david77] 10/6/2007 19:44

Doesn't look as tho Azure will be getting a big order from Fedex anytime soon:

"The environmental rewards of a green delivery fleet are impressive, but the payback is still elusive, finds April Terreri

Alternative-fuel technologies for commercial use have not yet crossed a cost-benefit threshold. High costs in researching and developing alternative fuels and high up-front costs of the alternative-fueled vehicles themselves are just some challenges with which companies like UPS and FedEx deal. Still, these and other companies continue to test and roll out alternative-fueled vehicles in their global fleets using a variety of fuels including propane, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), electric, fuel cells, biodiesel, and hybrid technologies."

A few days ago, Teletext reported that the mayor(??) of New York said that within 5 years, all of the taxis in the city would be hybrids. I only had a few so added 50,000 ADC @ 31.5p - it looks as tho I should have waited :-(

[spekky] 25/5/2007 11:00

Hope this will help ADC somewhere down the line.

[gsands] 25/5/2007 00:35

Bounced back 3% in Canada tonight.

[spekky] 23/5/2007 22:11

Minus 5% in Canada,the fundraising issue needs to be resolved soon,I think thats the only thing holding it back.

[gsands] 22/5/2007 01:51

Flat in Canada again. Perhaps just consolidating this rise off the bottom.

[gsands] 16/5/2007 08:21

Yes - I saw that. A little bit disappointing but news was good for long term holders.

ADC is firmly planted in my 'green' portfolio, waiting to germinate.

[spekky] 16/5/2007 07:51

Only finished slightly up (one percent) on Toronto exchange,those mounties just dont get it.......

15/05/2007 14:09 Azure Dynamics jumps on FedEx van deal


Azure Dynamics changed up a gear today as it signed a deal with a unit of US postal delivery giant, FedEx, to develop gasoline parallel hybrid-electric powertrains for their delivery fleet.
The company will supply a parallel hybrid-electric test vehicle to FedEx Express for the Ford E-450 hybrid commercial delivery van development program.

As soon as the development phase is completed, FedEx Express has agreed to purchase at least 20 pre-production Ford E-450s to be delivered by May 2008.

"These agreements with FedEx Express provide an opportunity for greater customer input in product development, as well as a high-profile, multinational fleet as a lead customer for the Ford E-450 parallel hybrid electric vehicle," said Azure boss Scott Harrison.
