Project

SEABAT will apply a modular approach, with the aim to reduce component costs (battery, convertor) so that unique ship designs can profit from economies of scale by using standardised low-cost modular components. In SEABAT existing commercial battery cells will be used, the concept will be suitable for future battery generations and high-power components that may have higher power densities or are based on different chemistries.

OBJECTIVES

Worldwide the transport sector is turning to electrification to reduce emissions and increase efficiency. On the roads we can see that the mass production of electric vehicles is picking up:…

CONCEPT
