Comprised of cylindrical cells that can be used in electric vehicles (EVs), electric motors, electric bicycles (e-bikes) and power storage, the government funds will be used to further develop the battery module's efficiency and environmental-friendliness.

Additionally, the Company announced that it has received new orders from its e-bike customers and expects to deliver 12,000 high-power lithium-ion battery units to its e-bike customers by the end of April 2012.

"In recent years, we have received recognition for our battery modules used in EVs and e-bikes. The subsidy from NDRC and MIIT further demonstrates the government's continued support and recognition of our contribution to China's EV and e-bike industry," commented Xiangqian Li, China BAK's chairman and CEO. "We will utilize the grant to further improve our product quality and strengthen our market position in the EV and e-bike industry.”

This will reduce the impact of over 22.5 trillion dollars from air pollution over that time, at least one percent of GDP. More insurrection will occur if corrective action is insufficient because hundreds of thousands are dying from traffic pollution and far more are suffering resultant serious disease. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), outdoor air pollution caused 3.7 m
