AKASOL develops second-generation 402030 battery system for Mercedes-Benz, capacity may increase by 35%

　　According to foreign media reports, the German company AKASOL will start producing the first-generation battery system AKASYSTEMOEM for the Mercedes-Benz electric bus eCitaro this fall. In addition, AKASOL is also working closely with Daimler Buses to begin the development of a second-generation lithium-ion battery system. By 2020, such upwardly compatible battery systems will provide 35% more energy and can also improve the range of electric vehicles.

　　Currently, each battery pack of the eCitaro has a storage capacity of 25 kWh. Each battery pack of the second-generation battery system will be able to store 33 kWh, meaning that each vehicle maintains the same structural space, weight and upward compatibility. At the same time, the battery capacity can be increased by 35%, from 243 kWh to 330 kWh.

　　All thanks to the flexible system architecture AKASOL provides customers with. According to Daimler Buses, this technological leap, combined with other factors, will help increase the vehicle's range to approximately 200 kilometers, and ideally up to 250 kilometers. AKASOL CEO Sven Schulz said that in addition to improving the battery pack, the battery management system and mechanical structure have also been slightly optimized, which will help improve the second-generation battery system.

　　Both generations of lithium-ion battery systems are fast-charging (charging up to 300kW) and can power other equipment such as air conditioning and electrical systems. In addition, the key factor in maintaining the robustness and durability of the two generations of lithium-ion battery systems is that AKASOL uses a water cooling method to manufacture the battery system, which ensures that the battery can be stably tempered at 25 degrees Celsius. The electric bus can operate in all climate conditions. run. The high-performance battery is partially mounted on the roof and partially mounted on the rear of the vehicle.

　　For many years, AKASOL has been committed to developing and providing various power systems for electric and hybrid buses. Buses using AKASOL battery technology are in daily operation in cities such as London, Berlin, Cologne and Braunschweig.
