Detail information

Driven by our innovative spirit and our extensive experience as manufacturers of components and systems in the automotive sector, we are developing our new project, Battery Pack. One of the axes around which this project revolves is that of the opportunities offered by the new models of sustainable mobility.

The automotive sector (and mobility in general) is undergoing a deep transformation. Electrification is one of the major strategies to achieve global environmental goals and meeting this challenge requires the commitment of the entire supply chain. This is the context in which this project was initiated. A context in which a large part of the turnover is impacted by the transition from the manufacture and supply of systems for combustion engine vehicles to electric mobility.

Furthermore, the speed at which this market is evolving, both at a technological level (new technological solutions are being launched) and at the level of business and agents in the sector, is driving us to position ourselves at the forefront and to develop specific solutions for this new concept of mobility.

The project is set within the framework of the electricity sector. For some time now, Fagor Ederlan has been working on projects for the development of components and systems for electric vehicles. We have carried out various market surveys and launched several exploration projects, including the Battery Packs project. Note that Fagor Ederlan has previous experience in electrification projects such as the joint development with Lotus of a Range Extender or our participation in Comarth industrial vehicles.

Battery Packs are systems that contain several subsystems; among them, the most relevant is the one in charge of energy storage. This is normally built in the form of modules which, in turn, contain the cells, the basic constructive unit of energy storage. Other functions such as control, communications and the management of other functions (thermal management, safety-related elements and structural elements) are added to this basic subsystem as required, by means of a Battery Management System.

Battery Pack is a project aimed at developing solutions for applications in industrial vehicles and machinery, initially focused on the eBus segment and then expected to move into the eTruck and automotive segments.

Our Battery Pack development project has been made possible with support from SPRI's HAZITEK program and will be carried out in collaboration with 7 other companies and 4 technology centers. In addition, we are developing a modular, scalable and cost-competitive battery. The first prototypes will be tested and validated in the second half of 2022, with product availability to customers in 2023.
