    Ford/Samsung join forces to develop next-generation automotive battery technology

    Ford and Samsung, a subsidiary of South Korea's Samsung, recently announced that they will collaborate on next-generation battery technology
    for non-hybrid vehicles.

    Recently, the two companies have been developing a "dual battery system"
    in which lithium batteries are used with lead-acid batteries.
    This dual battery system allows for greater fuel
    savings for non-hybrid vehicles.
    Ford has hinted that this dual-battery system will soon go into production
    .
    In addition, Ford and Samsung SDI are working on ultra-lightweight lithium-ion batteries, which will one day replace lead-acid batteries
    .
    Ultra-lightweight lithium batteries weigh more than 40% less than existing lead-acid batteries, or reduce weight by 12 pounds (5.
    4 kg).

    Ford says the battery, combined with other weight-cutting solutions, will lead to a reduction in the weight of the car while saving space, thereby improving the car's energy efficiency and performance
