Hand holding tab cooled battery pack

EV batteries – groundbreaking concept for energy storage

Efficient battery packs are a necessity for the transition to electrified mobility. They must be light, strong, thermally regulated, recyclable and cheap. The innovative, tab cooled battery pack concept developed with the z.trusion® technology solves all that. Plus, it is scalable and easily integrated in vehicle structures.

The concept development is supported and empowered by Fraunhofer IWU, Micropower Group, Semcon and Jönköping University.

Modularity enables multiple savings

Realising a rational and cost-efficient way to solve the holy grail of battery cooling means long term substantial savings both for the battery cell itself and the eco-system around it.
