OUR RESEARCH

FROM MOBILITY TO MEGAWATTS, WE DEVELOP STORAGE AND POWER SYSTEMS THAT PERFORM UNDER PRESSURE.

From mail trucks to long-haul trucks to planes, we are developing reliable systems necessary to enable electrification in hard-to-decarbonize vehicles. Our research focuses on combatting the challenges of frequent stopping and starting, varying terrain, heavy loads, and elongated trips.
