Chinese Auto Makers and Electric Vehicles

COLLECTED BY

Organization: Internet Archive

The Internet Archive discovers and captures web pages through many different web crawls. At any given time several distinct crawls are running, some for months, and some every day or longer. View the web archive through the Wayback Machine.

Collection: Wide Crawl started March 2011

Web wide crawl with initial seedlist and crawler configuration from March 2011. This uses the new HQ software for distributed crawling by Kenji Nagahashi.

What’s in the data set:

Crawl start date: 09 March, 2011
Crawl end date: 23 December, 2011
Number of captures: 2,713,676,341
Number of unique URLs: 2,273,840,159
Number of hosts: 29,032,069

The seed list for this crawl was a list of Alexa’s top 1 million web sites, retrieved close to the crawl start date. We used Heritrix (3.1.1-SNAPSHOT) crawler software and respected robots.txt directives. The scope of the crawl was not limited except for a few manually excluded sites.

However this was a somewhat experimental crawl for us, as we were using newly minted software to feed URLs to the crawlers, and we know there were some operational issues with it. For example, in many cases we may not have crawled all of the embedded and linked objects in a page since the URLs for these resources were added into queues that quickly grew bigger than the intended size of the crawl (and therefore we never got to them). We also included repeated crawls of some Argentinian government sites, so looking at results by country will be somewhat skewed.

We have made many changes to how we do these wide crawls since this particular example, but we wanted to make the data available “warts and all” for people to experiment with. We have also done some further analysis of the content.

If you would like access to this set of crawl data, please contact us at info at archive dot org and let us know who you are and what you’re hoping to do with it. We may not be able to say “yes” to all requests, since we’re just figuring out whether this is a good idea, but everyone will be considered.

How One U.S. Manufacturer is Turning the Tables on Chinese Auto Makers

by Alexander Moschina, Investment U Research
February 11, 2011

China has a big problem…

According to a 2007 report, more than 30 million tons of carbon emissions are released into the air each year.

And between 2007 and 2009, that number increased 23%. That makes the country number one in global CO2 emissions.

Worst of all, as the industrial economy grows, so will China’s pollution levels. So out of sheer necessity, the country has risen as a leader in green technology research.

To date, it has invested $1.3 billion in electric vehicle (EV) R&D. Plus, over the coming years, the Chinese government plans to pour billions more into the industry.

The goal? To increase the number of green vehicles on the road to more than one million by 2015. It’s the “foremost priority” according to the country’s new five-year plan.

Considering BYD Company – one of the Asia-Pacific region’s largest automobile manufacturers – sold only 417 electric cars last year, China will have to make a very big push.

And one U.S. company will collect massive profits as a result…

Ener1 Partners With a $10-Billion Chinese Leader

For nearly a decade, New York-based Ener1 Inc. (Nasdaq: HEV) has manufactured lithium-ion batteries. Its products have powered hybrid Volvos, Nissans and Toyotas; everything from the Prius to a line of electric-powered buses.

Then, on January 18, the company signed a deal with Wanxiang, the largest auto-parts supplier in China. The two will produce the Zhejiang Wanxiang Ener1 Power System, set to go on sale in just a few months.

This will instantly make Ener1 battery packs a key component in Chinese electric vehicles. The announcement sent Ener1 shares soaring more than 60% in early trading.

But it’s only the beginning…

Ener1 to Explode as China Becomes the “Most Important” EV Market

According to Thomas Weisel analyst Dilip Warrier, “China is quickly becoming one of the most important end markets for companies levered to the [electric vehicle] supply chain.”

And if its Five-Year Plan succeeds, the country will immediately dominate 35% of the global EV market. Plus, in less than ten years, China plans to produce these vehicles at an annual rate of one million.

So it’s no surprise that Ener1 CEO Charles Gassenheimer was so bullish on partnering with Wanxiang. “A combination of industrial policy, explosive growth potential and vision make [the deal] a winning proposition for both sides,” he said.

Over the coming years, the company’s business should ramp up significantly. And as China strengthens its bid for the number one producer of electric vehicles, Ener1 is set to explode.

Good investing,

Alexander Moschina
