On the morning of December 13, 2024, Professor Shiqi Ou and doctoral students Hao Jing and Hao Qi from the TRANSLAB visited the National Engineering Research Center for Electric Vehicles at Beijing Institute of Technology for an in-depth academic exchange with Professor Zhaosheng Zhang and his team.
The National Engineering Research Center for Electric Vehicles, formerly known as the National Engineering Laboratory for Electric Vehicles, was established in 2021 and underwent optimization and restructuring approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. As one of the earliest units in China engaged in electric vehicle research, the center began researching electric drive military vehicles manufactured in the Soviet Union in the late 1950s, focusing on electric drive technology. Since 1992, the center has been involved in electric vehicle research and development organized by the former State Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense. Since the national “Eighth Five-Year Plan,” the center has received key support from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Equipment Development Department, and the Beijing municipal government, accumulating rich experience and achievements in electric vehicle research, industrialization, and demonstration operations.
During this academic visit, the TRANS Research Group engaged in discussions with Professor Zhaosheng Zhang from Beijing Institute of Technology on various cutting-edge issues in the field of new energy vehicles. Topics included online operational data management of new energy vehicles, safety and degradation of power battery mileage, and challenges related to applicability and safety. Additionally, both parties delved into potential research directions in the field of traffic energy, proposing technological directions such as load forecasting for the power grid brought about by vehicle electrification and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) interaction. They expressed their desire to continue deepening cooperation in the future, focusing on forward-looking technologies, big data applications, and jointly advancing research and innovative development in new energy vehicles and related technologies.
