eWorkVehicle Battery System

Modular battery systems and dedicated components for electric power trains in work vehicles. The purpose of this project is to develop and test a modular platform concept for the flexible construction of battery systems for electric power trains in work vehicles. There will thus be numerous areas of application, including refuse collection and crane vehicles. Economies of scale will be created by delivering competitive battery systems for work vehicles which can be quickly and cost-effectively adapted to numerous areas of application.
