Developing new lightweight batteries for electric cars in Van Buren Township.
Excerpt:
Ricardo, Inc., the US subsidiary of Ricardo plc, the leading
independent provider of technology, product innovation and engineering
solutions to the world's automotive, defense, transport and new energy
industries, has announced that the award of $2.1 million (GBP1.3m) of
funding has been made by the UK Technology Strategy Board to a
consortium led by advanced battery manufacturer Axeon and including
Ricardo, which will develop a new lightweight battery for use in
electric small city cars, improving their performance, functionality
and range. The aim of the project is to develop an innovative high
energy density battery system for an emission-free electric small city
car. The battery, which will use new cell chemistry that offers higher
energy density, will be lighter, smaller and therefore more efficient
than those currently available, and will offer faster charging and a
higher range.
