FEATURE: Battery innovations powering off-highway electrification
Battery technology challenges and the solutions that are helping to power the next-generation of industrial vehicles Unlike the automotive sector’s relatively straightforward transition to electric power, off-highway applications present challenges that demand innovative solutions and a rethinking of traditional approaches. On power requirements alone the differences are stark – where automotive applications might require 50-100kWh of battery capacity, off-highway vehicles can demand 400kWh or more. Within off highway each application demands different solutions, different compromises, and different innovations – from construction sites where 40-tonne excavators operate for a whole working day, to warehouses where autonomous mobile robots and forklifts are used on rolling shifts.
