Valmet Automotive has introduced the Energy Pack battery system, expanding its Modular Battery Platform product family, which previously included the Power Pack variants. The Energy Pack is aimed at providing a compact, scalable, and cost-effective solution for electrifying trucks, buses, and off-highway vehicles. This new system will be showcased at the Future Mobile Work Machine event in Tampere, Finland, and subsequently at the Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart, Germany. Designed for applications in agriculture, forestry, construction, and mining, the Energy Pack utilizes advanced NMC cells and a Cell-to-Pack approach, which enhances energy density and optimizes space usage by eliminating the need for modules.
Valmet Automotive’s innovative approach allows for easy integration and flexibility in positioning within the vehicle, ensuring high performance, durability, and safety. The Energy Pack is designed for applications requiring capacities from 50 to 1000 kWh, with increments of 50 kWh. The system’s development prioritizes safety, quality, and the latest technologies, making it suitable for fast charging and long service life. Christian Kleinhans, SVP EVS at Valmet Automotive, highlights that the Energy Pack strengthens the company’s position as a leading battery system supplier, focusing on the electrification of trucks, buses, and off-highway segments. This strategic move aims to facilitate significant growth in the battery solutions market by offering ready-to-use systems that reduce development and production costs for customers. Alongside the Energy Pack, the Power Pack system continues to serve high-demand, low-temperature environments with its emphasis on peak power and fast charging.
