Electric mobility has come to stay. Boosted by the threat posed by climate change and the established emission protocols, as well as by the high dependency on fossil fuels, electric and hybrid vehicles (H&EV) have appeared to be one of the keys of the mobility of tomorrow. Congestion already stifles the global economy an estimated 2% of GDP, and air pollution causes in excess of 7 million deaths per year as a result of air pollution exposure.
Finding a better battery is crucial to the green energy revolution.
Nevertheless, current battery developments have been primarily focused on cars, targeting big manufacturers under long-delivery times, underserving market demands towards new mobility options. There is a trend underpinned by:-(I) EU Transport goals to reduce C02 emissions from cars, (II) New mobility patterns demanding more flexible, accessible and affordable transport and (III) Increasing urban densities and traffic congestions as >68% of world population will be living in high-density urban areas by 2050 (UN)- that are expected to contribute towards a massive spread out to other vehicles used in urban and inner cities such as Light Electric Vehicles–LEVs (e.g.motorcycles) and Heavy Duty Electric Vehicles– HDEVs(e.g. buses). So far, there are still crucial customer pain points depending on battery technology that must be overcome.
Electric vehicles may stall without a battery revolution and LEVs and HDEVs cannot be left behind.
After the project we now have two outstanding market ready battery solutions that will allow our internationalization and scale up. With our technology, with our own production and with certifications and homologations. flexiEBUST is the first high voltage battery pack manufactured developed and manufactured in Spain with UN/ECE-R100rev2 certification and flexiFIVEL is the first battery solution of its kind with this automotive certification.
