"Chinese battery manufacturing giant CATL has unveiled a new “cutting-edge”
electric bus battery that boasts an industry-leading energy density of 175Wh/kg
and a lifespan of up to 15 years.
Announced at the IAA Transportation 2024 convention being held in Hanover,
Germany, the CATL Tectrans Bus Edition also features “a lighter and more
compact design” that has been tailor made for the electric bus industry.
The CATL Tectrans Bus Edition also claims a service life of up to 15 years, or
1.5 million kilometres, and a warranty of 10 years, or 1 million kilometres.
Local Chinese automotive website
CnEVPost also reported that the Bus Edition
battery has an IP69 rating capable of withstanding 72 hours of water immersion
– though, one imagines greater concerns for the bus if this capacity was
necessary.
CnEVPost also reported that the CATL Tectrans Bus Edition will soon be in mass
production and, thanks to new partnerships with 13 vehicle companies, CATL
expects the battery will soon be put to use in 80 bus models.
CATL unveiled two other batteries, including the CATL Tectrans – T Superfast
Charging Edition, which boasts the capability to recharge 70 per cent state of
charge in just 50 minutes, and capacity between 200kWh and 600kWh with a
maximum driving range of up to 500 kilometres."
