Maxion Structural Components, a business division of Iochpe-Maxion and Forsee Power announced a partnership to offer the integration of battery systems for electric vehicles, especially on the chassis of trucks, buses and off-road vehicles. One of the key challenges to vehicle electrification is the integration of the electric powertrain and battery systems to the chassis without altering passenger or goods capacity. The goal of the partnership between Maxion and Forsee Power is to offer a complete solution which allows customers to obtain the best battery system integration layout, to maximize the use of the available volume, while optimizing the total weight, and without compromising the payload and power, to achieve the required autonomy.

The partnership covers the major world commercial vehicle markets, with ongoing studies mainly in the Americas. The combination of the two companies' skills will make it possible to offer a unique solution, with the differential of integrating high quality battery systems, packed in vehicle chassis, with greater storage capacity, greater durability, and reliability. On the other hand, Forsee Power will bring its extensive battery expertise and advanced energy storage technologies to the partnership.

The Group specializes in lithium-ion battery systems and offer a very wide range of formats and technologies enabling fast charging, overnight charging as well as power for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. With a strong ecodesign approach, Forsee Power zero emission solutions are developed to ensure long life cycle while offering environment and safety standards. The collaboration between the two companies strengthens Iochpe-Maxion's electrification strategy and reinforces its commitment to providing sustainable and innovative solutions to its customers.
