Electric Minivan: From a modest start making textiles 65 years ago, the Yulon Group grew into a manufacturing and real-estate colossus. It’s in a car-assembly joint venture with Nissan and independently makes vehicles under its Luxgen brand. Five years ago, it decided to expand into electric vehicles. The first result is a battery-powered version of its MPV minivan. This is a full-size, sophisticated, three-row family-hauler, loaded with high-tech driving aids. A hefty 40.7 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery — nearly twice the size of a Nissan Leaf’s — supplies a single electric motor, with a range of 112 kilometres and loads of power. Luxgen’s main drawback, because of the big battery pack and limited production, is a price tag of around $70,000 (U.S.). Its main use, for now, is in hotel, resort and government shuttle services. Yulon’s target is the huge Chinese market. North America is some time away ... A key feature is the company’s lithium-iron-phosphate battery. To demonstrate its safety, Wu slammed it with a heavy rock while it discharged at full power. Although the blow displaced some of the cylindrical cells, it kept running. No fire or explosion ... Better Battery: Dijiya Energy Saving Tech Inc. says by the end of next year it will offer an EV battery with a solid, rather than liquid, electrolyte — the material that fills each cell and conducts the current between the positive and negative electrodes. This transformational advance would let the battery safely operate up to 400 Celsius, making it cheaper and longer lasting.

Working with AC Propulsion (ACP), LUXGEN developed the core technologies for the LUXGEN7 MPV EV+ including the 180 kW (240 hp) and 265 N·m (196 lb-ft) torque AC induction motor. The lithium-ion battery packs supports a 200-mile (322km) cruising range at a fixed speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) on a single charge. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 8.6 seconds, and top speed is 145 km/h (90 mph). LUXGEN, an automobile brand established by Taiwan’s Yulon Group, is a full automobile manufacturer and a dedicated integrator of automotive and smart IT technology. Yulon Group’s automobile manufacturing operation began in 1953; it has become Taiwan’s largest automobile manufacturer with production plants located in Taiwan, Mainland China and Philippines supplying the local markets with more than 2 million vehicles produced in association with Nissan, Mitsubishi, GM, Chrysler, Mercedes Benz and others.
