ABAT delivers first Li-Ion polymer batteries for Beijing garbage trucks

greencarcongress.com :

Advanced Battery Technologies has delivered the first 200 of 3,000 polymer lithium-ion battery cell packs to Beijing Guoqiang Global Technology Development Co. for use in electric garbage trucks specially designed for the 2008 Olympics Games.

Earlier this year, ABAT signed a mutually exclusive development agreement for lithium polymer batteries in China with Altair Nanotechnologies. This agreement covers the incorporation of Altair's battery electrode nano-materials into ABAT's existing polymer battery product lines and specifically focuses on development of high power, lithium polymer batteries for use in electric vehicles.

- Li-Ion electric garbage trucks, huh? That's new.
