Saft's technology to gain market share in Hong Kong and China
12/7/2014
Hong Kong, December 5, 2014 - Saft, the world's leading designer and manufacturer of advanced technology batteries for industry, is forging ahead in high-growth Asian markets, particularly China, largely thanks to its much-appreciated ability to manufacture, assemble and test battery systems locally.
Local Manufacturing - a Key Asset
Key assets for Saft's continued growth in Asia, and particularly China, are the company's Hong Kong and Shanghai offices and above all its Zhuhai factory, which enables Saft to provide the high levels of service and support expected by Asian OEMs as well as local nickel-based battery system engineering and assembly. For industrial and railway batteries, Saft can also integrate local added value to projects by incorporating locally-made engineering and manufacturing of complete systems. For primary lithium batteries and in anticipation of business growth, Saft Zhuhai has invested in a capacity increase, with a new filling machine, laser-welding machine and assembly machine raising the plant's capacity to 28 million cells per year.
A Growing Presence in Asia
In recent years Saft has been posting strong growth in Asian markets, particularly China, and the company now has a solid presence in railways, aviation, metering, telecoms and energy storage. Saft is also winning significant business from Chinese-based construction firms and OEMs expanding their business throughout the rest of Asia.
In Hong Kong, Saft is the dominant battery supplier to some major players in aviation industry such as Cathay Pacific and Dragonair. As a leader on the Chinese aviation market, Saft supplies spare batteries for jetliners through its distributors Satair (Airbus) and Aviall (Boeing). Saft is also preparing the future on the world's largest market for new aircraft. Since 2008, COMAC (Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China) has selected Saft's latest ULM (Ultra Low Maintenance) batteries for the emergency back-up.
Saft has recently completed a major contract for CNR Changchun railway vehicles to supply on-board battery systems for new trains for the west island line of Hong Kong MTR. The on-board battery systems will provide up to 60 minutes of backup power to support vital safety and control functions including braking, smoke detection, emergency lighting and door opening. This successful delivery along with those in Beijing, Nanjing and Shanghai not only demonstrate Saft's competence of designing battery systems with long life duration, low-maintenance and high reliability, but also witness its continued growth in China's railway sector.
Taking full advantage of the locally based battery system engineering and assembly capabilities at Zhuhai plant established in 2006, Saft provides battery systems for the leading train manufacturers in China, e.g. CNR Changchun for Beijing Metro's Line 6 and Hong Kong's MTR metro system, and CSR Zhuzhou which has integrated Saft batteries into metro trains for Ankara in Turkey as well as commuter trains for Malaysia.
Saft won a contract earlier this year to supply primary lithium batteries to one of China's top five gas meter OEMs. The A-size LS17500 cells, developed to ensure reliable, maintenance-free performance over a 10-year plus service life, will power domestic smart meters installed in Zhejiang Province by China's main gas companies.
This latest contract further extends Saft's presence in China's fast growing smart gas meter market, which the China Smart Meter Industry Report 2013-2016 predicts will reach 40 million units in 2016. In 2013, Saft won its first ever smart gas meter contract in China, to supply around 500,000 LS series cells over the next four years to a major gas meter OEM.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
