Johnson Controls Power Solutions will spend about EUR 2.8 million on the project. ExpEctEd bEnEfits of thE nEw production tEchniquEs: • Technological basis for future mass assembly of battery modules • Reduction of production costs through automated assembly • Adaptability for various dimensions and applications • Improved product quality by means of optimized and rangE of applications: The batteries are designed to enable electric mobility for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles. However, as all vehicles increase their level of electrification the technology should also have a positive effect on batteries used in other types of hybrid vehicles (such as the 48-volt Micro Hybrid battery)*. In addition, the modules could also be used as components for storing renewable energy. projEct duration and costs: Johnson Controls Power Solutions will spend about EUR 2.8 million on the project, which will run from 2012 to 2015.
