- Targets Growth in China's Electric Automobile Market - LIAONING PROVINCE, China, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- China Sun Group High-Tech Co. (OTC:CSGH) (BULLETIN BOARD: CSGH) ("China Sun Group") which, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dalian Xinyang High-Tech Development Co. Ltd ("DLX") has the second largest cobalt series production capacity in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), today announced that after two years of research and development, DLX has successfully developed a new product, lithium iron phosphate, which is to be used as an anode material for the production of the next generation of lithium ion (li-ion) batteries. Currently, DLX is procuring and preparing the production equipment of Lithium Iron Phosphate, and plans to set up two new production lines with capacities of 500 tons per year to produce it. DLX plans to introduce lithium iron phosphate to the global electric automobile market at end of March 2009. "Lithium iron phosphate is a necessary and essential material used to power Li-ion batteries, and its application in the global Li-ion electric automobile industry is a growing and inevitable trend," said Bin Wang, CEO of China Sun Group. "The People's Republic of China is now the second largest automobile market in the world. If China's automobile industry maintains its current annual growth of 12%, China will overtake the USA to become world largest automobile market with 287 million automobiles, or constituting about 30% of automobile sales worldwide by 2030. We are positioning ourselves to meet anticipated global demand for lithium iron phosphate battery components used to power electronic automobiles in China and other developed nations." Wang continued, "Our studies show that China currently uses nickel hydrogen batteries, lead-acid batteries and others to power electric autos. Lithium cobalt oxide is still the top choice to power electric automobiles, yet its application is restricted by its high cost, limited resources for materials and safety concerns. We believe that DLX's new Lithium Iron Phosphate product can supplement the inevitable shortage in cobalt oxide materials, while offering new environmentally safe, cost-effective and power-efficient benefits." Key Advantages of DLX's Lithium Iron Phosphate are highlighted below. 1. Safety. Lithium iron phosphate is kept stable and safe at high temperatures of up to 400 ~ 500 degrees, which makes a battery made with lithium iron phosphate much less likely to explode compared to those made of the lithium cobalt oxide. 2. Ultra-long battery life with a high frequency of recycling. At room temperature, the battery made of lithium iron phosphate has 1,500 to 2000 times charge-discharge recycling. After the 1,500 to 2000 times charge-discharge recycling, its capacity will run at over 95% of the full capacity, which is four times that of lithium cobalt oxide batteries. 3. Non-toxic and Pollution-Free. The lithium iron phosphate battery contains no heavy metals or rare metals, is non-toxic and pollution-free, and is in compliance with all European ROHS requirements. 4. Low Cost, Higher Margins. Sources of raw material to make lithium iron phosphate are extremely rich and inexpensive in China. The actual cost of the materials is one-fourth the cost of cobalt, and profit margins are twice as high compared to cobalt oxide. In September 2008, DLX completed trial production of lithium iron phosphate and successfully met the technical requirements of application after being tested by a PRC state authority. In November 2008, the China Brand Promoting Authority accredited DLX's "Tong Tong" brand lithium iron phosphate with the titles "Priority Choice of Government Procurement" and "Key Promoting Product of High-Tech Industry."
