evoTractionBattery, Ecovolta presents new li-ion battery generation for commercial vehicles.
According to Ecovolta, the battery packs certified according to automotive standards can be used in a variety of ways and are especially suitable for electric commercial vehicles, machines and boats. Interest in these applications is currently growing particularly strongly in European and international markets due to increasingly stringent environmental requirements.
Municipalities and logistics companies are increasingly offering electric commercial vehicles in order to meet their climate targets. Construction companies use electric construction machines to meet national emission regulations.
Benjamin Friedrich, Chief Operating Officer of Ecovolta.
From construction and agricultural machinery to industrial trucks and cable cars to boats, motorcycles and robots: our batteries are already used in numerous vehicles and machines.
“Based on the experience from these applications, our team has developed the new generation of traction batteries. Among other things, the mechanical construction, materials and connections of the battery have been improved and the battery management has been optimized.”
With voltages of 48 volts and 96 volts, four different memory sizes and interlinking options, the so-called “evoTractionBattery” can be used for different applications and installation spaces and up to 400 volts at the overall system level.
The integrated battery management system is based on the automotive standard “ISO 26262”. The battery integration is facilitated by standardized interfaces to various on-board chargers. The individual battery packs are also protected against external influences.
Andreas Schimanski, Director Business & Technology of the division.
Our customers appreciate the compact design and energy density of our batteries.
“Customer-specific traction batteries often require complex certification of the system. With the interconnection of several ecovoltaic batteries to form an overall system, the storage systems often no longer have to be individualized and recertified. That lowers development costs and time-to-market.”
The evoTractionBattery has a standard safety concept that uses cell connections made of electrolytically nickel-plated cold strip to automatically separate damaged cells from the rest of the battery pack when there is an increased current flow.
In addition, the BMS monitors all safety requirements for cell monitoring and the battery status in accordance with standards. Manufacturers of compact vehicles who are interested in their electrification but do not have the necessary development capacities support Ecovolta in the design and integration of complete drive trains.
This means that the Swiss provider is not just a battery manufacturer, but sees itself as a provider of total solutions: The company has already developed complete solutions for vans, small vehicles and excavators.
