US battery manufacturer Microvast has introduced a range of high-performance battery solutions for electric commercial vehicles at the IAA Transportation event in Germany. The new offerings include silicon-based HnSO cells, lithium titanate oxide (LTO) cells, and the third-generation MV-I Pack, all designed to enhance energy density, safety, and sustainability.
The HnSO cells, with an energy density of 300 Wh/kg and a life cycle of over 4,000 cycles, are optimized for long-distance applications in battery and hybrid electric vehicles. LTO cells, known for their safety and longevity, offer up to 20,000 cycles and an energy density of 100 Wh/kg, making them suitable for high-performance use in demanding environments.
Microvast’s third-generation MV-I Pack, which boasts an energy density of up to 200 Wh/kg and more than 5,000 full cycles, integrates the company’s 5th-generation battery management system (BMS). The BMS ensures functional safety in compliance with ISO 26262 ASIL-C standards and offers advanced cybersecurity features.
Dr. Wenjuan Mattis, CTO of Microvast, highlighted the advancements in the new battery technology, emphasizing improvements in energy density, rapid charging, and extended cycle life. “We’re driving the future of electric mobility with solutions that improve efficiency and reduce emissions,” she said.
With a vertically integrated development model, Microvast retains control over every phase, from research to manufacturing, allowing for faster innovation and customization to meet specific operational requirements. Having installed over 30,000 battery systems worldwide, the company is well-positioned to support the global shift towards sustainable transportation.
