Regulatory News:
Forsee Power (FR0014005SB3 – FORSE), an expert in smart
battery systems for sustainable electromobility, announces that BAE
Systems, a leading solution provider for heavy-duty electric
powertrains, will equip a Class 7 demonstration truck Gen3
powertrain with the FORSEE ZEN PLUS battery system in North
America.
Forsee Power Group has established its North American
headquarters and production facility in Columbus, Ohio. The new
factory will produce battery systems which are Buy America
compliant.
BAE Systems: a leader in zero-emission solutions for
heavy-duty transport in the USA
BAE Systems is a leader in heavy-duty electric propulsion,
providing zero-emission powertrains to vehicle manufacturers. They
offer a wide range of solutions, from 100% battery to hydrogen fuel
cell propulsion to enable full zero-emission operation in medium
and heavy-duty vehicles.
BAE Systems’ Gen3 electric drive builds on 25 years of
innovation that powers low- and zero-emission platforms on land and
sea, including battery electric, fuel cell, and hybrid electric
vehicles. The Group has nearly five billion revenue service miles
on its products, operating worldwide through 16,000 transit buses,
as well as marine vessels, and military and industrial
vehicles.
BAE Systems has selected FORSEE ZEN PLUS battery system to equip
its Gen3 powertrain solution for Class 7 demonstration truck. The
Forsee Power battery system, composed of 3 packs of the ZEN 77
PLUS, provides 231 kWh for an average range of 200 EV miles.
Forsee Power: Buy America compliant battery systems made in
the heart of the U.S.
Forsee Power’s broad range of batteries features technologies
which suit all operating modes of heavy electric vehicles, adapting
to overnight charging, fast charging or hydrogen fuel cell
propulsion. The Group partners with the largest number of bus
manufacturers and has already equipped more than 3,000 buses
worldwide; it is thus the leading bus battery provider outside of
China. It is also leading the European market of batteries for
heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles. With an industrial site in Columbus,
Ohio, the Group aims at becoming a key player in the
electrification of light and heavy vehicles in North America,
bringing Buy America compliant battery systems to the local
market.
The ZEN PLUS batteries offer an excellent specific energy of 180
Wh/kg. This permits the vehicles to operate without charging for an
extended period of time. ZEN PLUS is the first battery system for
commercial vehicles to be available in a common format at several
system voltages (including 650V and 800V, two of the more common
intervals). This makes it easy for driveline integrators like BAE
Systems to adopt new power conversion strategies without affecting
the mechanical integration of the battery system – an enabling
capability in a fast-evolving market.
Forsee Power’s cell selection and thermal management strategy
permit an extended cycle life for their batteries, in any operating
environment. The ZEN PLUS battery system is based on proven NMC
lithium-ion cells with a lifetime of over 5,000 cycles, allowing an
ultra-competitive total cost of ownership (TCO).
“We are proud to collaborate with BAE Systems in the United
States, with whom we share a common vision for sustainable,
zero-emission transport. The electric truck market in the U.S. –and
in the Americas in general– is the fastest growing in the world;
from 3,000 units sold in 2022, it will grow to 70,000 in 20231.
Class 7 trucks represent an ideal case for conversion to 100%
battery powertrains. Our ZEN PLUS batteries will be manufactured in
Columbus, Ohio from early 2024, where we will produce Buy America
compliant battery systems to the commercial vehicle market”
explains Jay Deis, Vice President North America at Forsee
Power.
