Principali vantaggi dei design delle batterie a più livelli per i veicoli elettrici commerciali

With extensive experience in battery design and integration for commercial electric vehicles and partnerships with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide, Accelera™ by Cummins introduces an advanced LFP battery platform – a battery family consisting of different tiers designed to address the needs of the commercial transportation industry.

Explore how our advanced LFP batteries can support the transportation industry’s transition to zero-emission vehicles, reduce the total cost of ownership, and meet operational needs.
 

Battery platform key features

The battery family leverages LFP chemistry and provides a modular design with scalable power that adapts to specific vehicle requirements - delivering a host of benefits for OEMs and other end-users who choose it as their vehicle's power source.

• Modular, scalable design for versatile configurations
• Aumento della densità energetica e del carico utile
• Durata prolungata con gestione termica
• Flessibilità nell'integrazione
• Sicurezza e durata integrate
• Conveniente e a bassa manutenzione

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.

• Configurazioni versatili: I pacchi a uno e due livelli possono essere montati sotto autobus a pianale ultra-ribassato e altre aree in cui lo spazio è limitato. Le configurazioni 3T, 4T e 5T sono ideali per veicoli più grandi come camion medi e pesanti.
• Compatibilità: 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.

Aumento della densità energetica e del carico utile

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.

• Prestazioni migliorate del veicolo: 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.

Durata prolungata con gestione termica

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 di gestione termica (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.

Flessibilità nell'integrazione

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.

• Adattabilità: Questo livello di adattabilità semplifica per gli OEM l'adozione di soluzioni di batterie a zero emissioni per veicoli che altrimenti potrebbero avere difficoltà con l'integrazione della batteria a causa di limitazioni di dimensioni o spazio. Selezionando la configurazione in base ai requisiti energetici e di imballaggio del veicolo, gli OEM possono essere certi che ogni progettazione del veicolo sia ottimizzata per il suo caso d'uso specifico.

Sicurezza e durata integrate

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 avanzata: Il nostro TMS avanzato aiuta anche a mantenere la sicurezza della batteria. Mantenendo le celle entro il loro intervallo di temperatura ottimale, il sistema è progettato per garantire che la batteria rimanga sicura e operativa per il lungo periodo.

Conveniente e a bassa manutenzione

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.

• TCO inferiore: I veicoli elettrici a batteria non richiedono carburante e generalmente richiedono meno manutenzione rispetto ai veicoli convenzionali. Ciò è dovuto alle minime esigenze di manutenzione della batteria, del motore e dell'elettronica, a meno fluidi come l'olio motore, all'usura ridotta dei freni grazie alla frenata rigenerativa e a un numero significativamente inferiore di parti mobili rispetto a un motore a combustibile convenzionale.
• Incentivi e sovvenzioni: Il finanziamento per i veicoli elettrici e le infrastrutture di ricarica è essenziale per accelerarne l'adozione e ridurre le emissioni di gas serra. Fortunatamente, incentivi governativi, investimenti privati ​​e sovvenzioni pubbliche sono disponibili per rendere i veicoli elettrici più accessibili. Questi casi di studio forniscono informazioni su come Distretto scolastico unificato arancione  e il Distretto della Grande Scuola Occidentale sono riusciti a raccogliere fondi per pagare i loro scuolabus elettrici.
