E-bike Battery specialist Akku Vision GmbH has entered a partnership with UniverCell Holding GmbH, a German cell manufacturer based in Flintbek, North Germany. The companies are developing an OEM battery concept for the e-bike aftermarket
UniverCell is producing electrodes and cells based on lithium-ion technology. Akku Vision will use their 18650 and 21700 cylindrical cells in battery packs for both e-bike aftermarket and for OEM specific eMobility solutions. Akku Vision will start using the cells in production from end of 2022 and ramp up volumes in 2023 and onwards.
CEO of Akku Vision Mr. Daniel Maiberger commented: „The production of cells in Germany is the basis for achieving the predicted growth in electromobility! Through this cooperation with German cell manufacturer UniverCell, Akku Vision has laid the foundation for securing the supply chain for its own products and the products of our OEM customers for years to come!"
Furthermore, Akku Vision is introducing a new tailored business model Bespoke Battery Concept with up to 864 Wh in 36V technology and up to 842 Wh in 48V technology (available within 2022) with 21700 sized cells which aims at OEM customers who seek an European based battery partner.
"We are much more than a supplier, we are a real partner and are 100% dedicated to projects that we take on. We have built up an extensive experience and know-how with developing and assembling high quality e-bike batteries at our facilities in Haibach, Germany. The whole industry is disrupted in their supply chain especially with goods made in Asia and as a result of that, European customers turn more to local supply solutions, so this is where we fit in very well by providing flexibility and On Time delivery. Additionally, we offer a palette of benefits such as extended premium warranty of 36 months, flex financing on development costs and a service network in Europe, North America and Australia to mention some of the benefits", explains Mr. Kim Madsen, CSO.
