BorgWarner Akasol AG
Charging Forward to Accelerate the World’s Transition to E-mobility
- This article first appeared in the Railway-News magazine Issue 3 2022.
The battery systems of BorgWarner’s Akasol brand have been providing energy for multiple electrified commercial and industrial vehicles for numerous years. The modular approach does not only offer remarkable flexibility, scalability and safety, but also very high economic efficiency.
With very high energy densities on the system level and in our view the most compact liquid cooling, AKASOL battery systems have very low space requirements and emit only little heat. These are the ideal preconditions for long battery life with a high power output for safe, reliable and durable operation. Thanks to the modular design and free scalability of the AKASystem, we can tailor solutions to meet our customers’ needs for bus, commercial, industrial, rail and marine applications.
AKASOL has developed high-performance lithium-ion batteries to serve specific applications, adjusting characteristics such as cell type, cycle life and cost per kWh.
AKASystem AKM POC: High-End Technology for Heavy-Duty Performance
Hybrid and electric vehicles benefit from a liquid-cooled and freely scalable system that not only fulfils the highest safety standards, but also currently belongs to one of the most powerful battery solutions in the world. Robust, maintenance-free and fast-charging, the AKASystem AKM is ideal for use in commercial hybrid and electric vehicles with very high requirements when it comes to life cycle, performance and high system voltage.
