FIAMM Energy Technology has announced that will provide its Advanced Flooded Battery (AFB) battery technology to power Ford Start-Stop vehicles.
AFB batteries are a proven advanced energy storage solution for Start-Stop vehicles in Europe, where FIAMM Energy Technology has manufactured more than 5 millions units since 2013.
FIAMM Energy Technology will supply the AFB batteries from Veronella (VR) plant in Italy.
AFB batteries used in a Start-Stop system help reduce fuel consumption as the engine shuts off when the vehicle comes to a stop in traffic or at a red light. The battery restarts the engine when the driver’s foot releases the brake pedal, engages the clutch or press the gas pedal.
FIAMM Energy Technology estimates the European Start-Stop OE battery demand has overcome 16M units in 2019 and replacement market could reach 23,5 M units in 2025.
