New energy continues to heat up 2015 electric commercial vehicle into a bright spot
What`s Powder Coating
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that has become extremely popular. Powder coating is used on a wide array of products. More and more companies specify powder coatings for a high-quality, durable finish, allowing for maximized production, improved efficiencies, and simplified environmental compliance. Used as functional (protective) and decorative finishes, powder coatings are available in an almost limitless range of colors and textures, and technological advancements have resulted in excellent performance properties.
Advantages over other coating processes
1. Environment friendly. Powder coatings contain no solvents and release little or no amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere.
2. More thicker coatings without running or sagging than conventional liquid coatings.
3. Perfect color consistency. Powder coated items generally have fewer appearance differences than liquid coated items between horizontally coated surfaces and vertically coated surfaces.
4. A wide range of speciality effects are easily accomplished using powder coatings that would be impossible to achieve with other coating processes.
5. Curing time is significantly faster with powder coatings compared to liquid coatings especially when using ultraviolet cured powder coatings or advanced low bake thermosetting powders.
Powder Coating Process
The Powder coating process involves three basic steps: raw material preparation or the pre-treatment, the powder coating application and curing.
Powder Coating Substrate Considerations
Before applying the powder coating material, you must first consider the substrate material that you will be coating. It is very important to have a clear understanding of the true composition of the surface of the part.

Powder Coating Colours
RALAL Range, Pantone Range, and other Natural Colour Systems (NCS)
If you have a Powder Coating Colour requirement that we do not stock we are usually able to source powders from the above ranges within 48 hours.
Powder Coating Gloss Level
Gloss is measured as a percentage.
1. Matt Powders are between 20% and 30% gloss.
2. Semi-gloss Powders are usually around 60-65% gloss.
3. Gloss Powders at least 80% and can be 85%.
Powder Coating finishes
1. Textured Powder Coating:
2. Ripple/Leatherette Powder Coating.
3. Hammerite Finish Powder Coating.
4. High Temperature Powder Coating.
5. Anti-Bacterial Powder Coating.
6. Clear or Tinted Powder Coatings.
Application Field
1. In automotive applications:
a) some primers used on bodywork have converted to powder. This has given improved coating quality and provided ecological advantages.
b) where a functional as well as a decorative finish is desirable powder coatings are being used increasingly eg.
i. - wheels,
ii. - bumper bars,
iii. - mirror frames,
iv. - oil filters,
v. - battery trays,
vi. - coil springs and
vii. - heads.
2. Appliances
a) Specially formulated, hard and scratch resistant powder coatings are replacing the energy-intensive porcelain finishes on washer tops and lids.
b) Powder coatings are being used on range housings, freezer cabinets, drier drums, and microwave oven cavities.
c) Outdoor furniture, farm and garden implements and garden tractors also are being finished with powder coating materials. - Interior fluorescent light reflectors are coated using a highly reflective, very thin powder coating.
d) Exterior lamp housings on highway and parking deck fixtures are coated with specially formulated powder which give ultra violet light protection and added corrosion protection

With the shortage of oil and the emergence of environmental pollution problems, energy saving and emission reduction has become a topic of concern. The state has successively introduced preferential policies for new energy vehicles. With the strong support of policies, the new energy automobile industry is also heating up and developing. The outlook is very good. Commercial vehicles are an important component of automobiles. In recent years, commercial vehicle companies have also focused their development efforts on the new energy sector and used new energy commercial vehicles as a breakthrough in driving the development of the industry. 
Contrary to the Growth of New Energy Commercial Vehicles 
According to the production data of new energy vehicles released in December 2015 by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, domestic production of new energy vehicles in December was 99,800, a three-fold increase year-on-year, of which output of pure electric commercial vehicles was 57,800, an increase of six times year-on-year. , Plug-in hybrid commercial vehicle production reached 5,725 vehicles, an increase of 51%. From the data for the entire year of 2015, the total production volume of new energy vehicles reached 379,900, a four-fold increase compared to the same period of the previous year, including 147,900 pure-electric commercial vehicles, an increase of 8 times year-on-year, and the production of plug-in hybrid commercial vehicles. 2.46 million units, a year-on-year increase of 79%. 
2015 was a turbulent year for the entire commercial vehicle market. Commercial vehicles also encountered unprecedented challenges in the development process. The entire commercial vehicle market is not particularly booming, and overall sales have also declined. Against this backdrop, new energy commercial vehicles have grown against the trend. From the above data, it can be seen that the production of new energy commercial vehicles is gradually increasing, and the speed of development is very rapid. This fully proves that commercial vehicle companies are new to commercial vehicles. The emphasis on energy is getting higher and higher, and new energy has become one of the development trends of commercial vehicles.
Ren Zhongyuan Electric continues to heat up
In addition, the data shows that today's new energy commercial vehicles focus on pure electric and plug-in hybrid power. Among them, pure electric commercial vehicles use rechargeable batteries as the power source, and vehicles driven by electric motors are plugged in. A hybrid commercial vehicle is a new type of hybrid electric vehicle that features an engine that can charge the battery. 
With the country's strong support for new energy vehicles, and as new energy vehicles develop faster and faster, new energy vehicles not only develop rapidly in passenger vehicles but also continue to heat up in the commercial vehicle sector. In the new energy commercial vehicle, the development trend of pure electric vehicles is the most outstanding. In 2015, commercial vehicle companies have also introduced pure electric vehicles, which include pure electric logistics vehicles, pure electric sanitation vehicles, and pure electric vans. This kind of product also makes us see that the pure tram commercial vehicle market is developing step by step.
Where is the road? How <br> <br> continued development of new energy for the automotive industry is a great opportunity, but often the opportunities and challenges coexist. The development of new energy vehicles cannot be accomplished overnight. There are many areas that need to be improved during the development process, and there are many factors that restrict the development of new energy. Although the output of new energy vehicles increased last year, compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles cannot meet the basic needs of real users.
Take today's relatively pure electric vehicles, first of all the cost of domestic batteries is relatively expensive, and battery life problems have also hindered its rapid development, and secondly the problem of the mileage of pure electric vehicles has been constraining development, plus The domestic charging piles and other equipment are not particularly perfect, and the charging problem is also a difficulty that the new energy automobile industry must solve.
Therefore, from a long-term perspective, first, the country needs to further improve the basic equipment construction of new energy vehicles and provide a good environment for its development. Second, it must address the technical disadvantages. It can learn from the successful experience of foreign new energy development, from the perspective of technology and safety. The multi-faceted improvement of sex and energy efficiency will enable new energy vehicles to meet the needs of more people.
In order to continue to develop new energy, it is necessary to solve the shortcomings in technology and policy environment. In short, the development road for new energy vehicles has a long way to go. While summing up the problems that have emerged during the development of new energy in the past year, Let us look forward to the development of the new energy automotive market in 2016.
