SK Innovation has supplied the batteries for cars to be used as official transportation for next week's APEC meeting in Beijing, China, company officials said Thursday.

"A total of 50 Sehnbao electric vehicles (EVs), powered by SK batteries, will be provided for high-level delegates and organizers," the energy firm said.

APEC has 21 member economies in the Asia Pacific region, accounting for 54 percent of the world's economic output and 44 percent of its trade.

SK Innovation has been operating a battery joint venture with Beijing Automotive, the maker of the EVs, and Beijing Electronics.

SK holds a 40 percent share and its partner Beijing Electronics a 41-percent stake. Beijing Automotive owns a19 percent stake.

The car is the first EV model to be introduced by Beijing Automotive, which plans to mass-produce electric sedans from next year.

The APEC official vehicle can speed up to 200 kilometers per hour, running on the SK-developed 37.5 kilowatt per hour (KWh) battery pack.

An SK official said the meeting will showcase its advanced battery technology to global leaders and expand its EV business in China, the world's biggest EV market.

The firm said the Sehnbao EVs are currently being used ahead of the APEC meeting.

Battery charging stations have also been installed in Beijing Capital International Airport.

SK Innovation is boosting the output of batteries for EVs in China as leading Chinese carmakers are rolling out low-priced electric and plug-in models.

The Chinese government is offering more incentives to buy EVs amid its initiatives for fuel-efficient and greenhouse-gas reducing vehicles.

The statement said the SK affiliate plans to become the top battery supplier for EVs by 2017, producing 20,000 battery packs per year.



SK이노베이션 배터리 단 전기차, APEC에 투입돼

SK이노베이션이 만든 배터리를 탑재한 전기자동차가 아시아태평양경제협력체(APEC) 정상회의 공식 차량으로 선정됐다.

SK이노베이션은 10∼11일 중국 베이징에서 열리는 APEC 회의에 베이징자동차의 전기차 '센바오' 50대가 투입된다고 6일 밝혔다.

이 전기차에는 SK이노베이션이 작년 12월 베이징전공·베이징자동차와 중국 현지에 공동 설립한 합작법인 '베이징 BESK 테크놀로지'에서 생산된 37.5㎾급 리튬이온배터리 팩이 장착돼 있다.

이 차량은 한번 충전으로 최대 200㎞를 달릴 수 있으며 최고속도는 시속 160㎞이다. 기존 배터리보다 에너지 밀도가 30% 높다.

BESK 배터리 팩을 장착한 첫번째 전기차인 센바오는 내년 시판될 예정이다.

SK이노베이션은 BESK를 통해 전기차 2천대 분량의 배터리 셀을 베이징자동차에 공급했다. 또 향후 배터리 공급 규모를 내년 5천∼8천대, 2017년께 2만대로 확대할 계획이다. (연합뉴스)
