A new CENELEC Workshop is being planned which will complement the activities of the EU Research project 'BATTS' – Safe Efficient Battery System Based On Advanced Cell Technology.
The BATTS project is focussed on developing a cell-to-pack modular battery system concept that will provide exceptional safety and electro-thermal performance for off-road e-vehicles and semi-stationary applications. Realistic operating conditions will be used to develop driving cycles for an excavator as a non-common off-road electric vehicle.
This Workshop aims to build on the BATTS research and further characterize accurately the operating conditions of excavators. There is currently no standardized solution available for these types of off-road vehicles. Such a workshop therefore is timely. Moreover, electric off-road vehicles are more and more common and are being commercialized in over 160 countries.
But market expansion and technological enhancement has not meant a comprehensive standard for driving cycles and battery system designers. The proposed CWA aims to address this gap by providing a solid reference point that details the performance requirements these kids of applications require. The CWA will also “highlight the need to adopt specific driving profiles for each specific transport application, ensuring it contributes positively to the transport electrification in any non-common application and the EU’s energy transition goals.”
The kick-off meeting for the Workshop will take place remotely on 3rd March from 11.00 until 13.00 (CEST). To attend remotely, please use this link.
