• Modular, scalable design for versatile configurations
• Mayor densidad energética y carga útil
• Larga duración con gestión térmica.
• Flexibilidad en la integración
• Seguridad y durabilidad incorporadas
• Rentable y de bajo mantenimiento

Modular, scalable design for versatile configurations

Our advanced LFP boasts a tiered design. It allows for various configurations for integration and can be adapted to suit different on- and off-highway applications. The platform's tiered system includes 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, and 5T configurations. Each tier varies in size, allowing you to "stack" the battery packs to meet your vehicle’s specific needs - whether it’s space optimization or increased energy capacity.

• Configuraciones versátiles: Los paquetes de uno o dos niveles se pueden montar debajo de autobuses de piso ultrabajo y otras áreas donde el espacio es limitado. Las configuraciones de 3T, 4T y 5T son ideales para vehículos más grandes, como camiones medianos y pesados.
• Compatibilidad: All battery form factors 2T and higher operate using the same maximum voltage and are compatible with each other. The 1T pack is a half-voltage unit. This flexibility allows OEMs to mix and match tiers to meet their fleets' specific energy and space requirements.

Mayor densidad energética y carga útil

Regarding energy density, the tiered platform stands out as a next-generation LFP and delivers a significant improvement over past LFP technology. The result? More energy in a smaller and lighter package.

• Rendimiento mejorado del vehículo: With more energy packed into a lighter unit and the ability to integrate multiple units into a single vehicle, vehicles equipped with tiered batteries can achieve longer ranges and increased payload capacity. This means fewer stops for recharging and more goods or passengers transported on each trip.

Larga duración con gestión térmica.

At Accelera, product longevity is a top priority for power solutions. The advanced LFP battery platform benefits from our extensive experience designing battery solutions for various duty cycles. The advanced cell technology used in the batteries ensures a longer lifecycle, reducing the need for battery replacements.

• Sistema de gestión térmica (TMS): A key factor in the long life of the battery tiers is its built-in thermal management system. This system regulates the battery’s temperature to keep it operating within optimal conditions, extending its life and enhancing safety. Whether operating in extreme heat or cold, the TMS ensures that the battery forms maintain consistent performance, preventing uneven aging of the cells that could reduce the pack's life.

Flexibilidad en la integración

The advanced LFP battery's modular design offers a high degree of flexibility in vehicle integration. This is especially important for OEMs dealing with unique vehicle shapes and sizes. The battery's tiered system can be customized to fit within those constraints.

• Adaptabilidad: Este nivel de adaptabilidad facilita a los fabricantes de equipos originales la adopción de soluciones de baterías de cero emisiones para vehículos que, de otro modo, podrían tener dificultades para integrar la batería debido a restricciones de tamaño o espacio. Al seleccionar la configuración que se adapte a los requisitos de energía y empaquetado del vehículo, los fabricantes de equipos originales pueden estar seguros de que el diseño de cada vehículo está optimizado para su caso de uso específico.

Seguridad y durabilidad incorporadas

Safety is essential for EV batteries, particularly in commercial applications where accident risk tolerance is low. Our tiered battery platform has undergone rigorous internal and external testing to ensure that it meets the durability requirements of our OEM partners. From the structural casing to the cells within, the advanced LFP batteries are built to withstand the challenging demands of commercial transportation.

• TMS avanzado: Nuestro avanzado sistema TMS también ayuda a mantener la seguridad de la batería. Al mantener las celdas dentro de su rango de temperatura óptimo, el sistema está diseñado para garantizar que la batería permanezca segura y operativa durante mucho tiempo.

Rentable y de bajo mantenimiento

Cost is one of the biggest drivers for OEMs considering adopting electric vehicles. It’s not as simple as removing a diesel engine and putting a commercial vehicle battery in its place. OEMs need to consider the battery cost and the cost of integrating electric powertrains into their fleets. While these upfront costs tend to be more expensive than traditional diesel engines, cost savings for fuel and reduced regular maintenance requirements for electric vehicles provide a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) over the vehicle’s lifespan.

• Menor coste total de propiedad: Los vehículos eléctricos a batería no requieren combustible y, por lo general, requieren menos mantenimiento que los vehículos convencionales. Esto se debe a que la batería, el motor y los componentes electrónicos requieren un mantenimiento mínimo, a que se utilizan menos líquidos, como aceite de motor, a que se reduce el desgaste de los frenos gracias al frenado regenerativo y a que el número de piezas móviles es significativamente menor que el de un motor de combustible convencional.
• Incentivos y subvenciones: La financiación de los vehículos eléctricos y de la infraestructura de recarga es esencial para acelerar su adopción y reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Afortunadamente, existen incentivos gubernamentales, inversiones privadas y subvenciones públicas para que los vehículos eléctricos sean más asequibles. Estos estudios de caso ofrecen una idea de cómo Distrito Escolar Unificado de Orange  y Distrito escolar West Grand Pudieron reunir fondos para pagar sus autobuses escolares eléctricos.
