As CO2 emissions rules tighten, the motorbike market is starting to see the arrival of electric versions as well as how quickly vehicles are turning electric. Motorcycles are not an exception to the ADAS trend; rider aid systems, or solutions for danger avoidance, are currently being explored.
According to the cell’s shape, lithium-ion batteries of the motorcycles can be divided into three types: cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch (laminated). The pouch type is more flexible in terms of shape, has a higher energy density, and can be made thinner and lighter.
The range of electric motorcycles is directly impacted by the battery’s capacity. High energy density and light weight are necessary for the battery’s tiny size.
The Europe Electric motorcycle battery market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
Total and PSA alongside Opel have announced plans to use their expertise to grow the EV battery production industry in Europe through their affiliate Saft. In order to achieve that, the partners want to create a joint venture called Automotive Cell Company (ACC).
The initiative will make use of cutting-edge R&D, particularly that offered by Saft, to start producing EV batteries. The technology will create a new benchmark in Europe by providing the highest degree of energy performance, both in terms of range and charging time, and a lower carbon footprint than that of the competitors.
Building a pilot plant on the property of Saft’s Nersac is part of the project’s first research and development phase.
