Webasto is working to provide battery solutions that are speeding the electrification of Australian buses and coaches
Building on more than 90 years of automotive expertise, Webasto has developed a modular and scalable concept for the electrification of commercial vehicles and construction machinery.
Manufacturing in an automated state-of-the-art German facility, Webasto offers a complete plug and play solution providing everything from one primary source: battery, vehicle interface units and thermal management.
The core of the system is the CV standard battery with a configuration of 400V and 800V. Designed to withstand the harshest environments, the battery has been homologated against recognised standards ECE R100, ECE R10 and tested against the highest industry safety requirements. With constant monitoring of multiple parameters, Webasto says the CV Standard Battery delivers safe and maintenance free reliability across a wide range of applications.
The CV standard battery offers manufacturers flexible and easy integration into the vehicle due to vertical and horizontal installation positions and the ability to communicate via CAN to the vehicle.
Up to 18 Standard Battery Systems can be interconnected with the Vehicle Interface Gateway or up to 10 Standard Battery Systems with the Vehicle Interface Box.
Completing the package is the eBTM, which is a stand-alone Battery Thermal Management Unit that ensures optimal functioning of water-cooled battery packs and provides ideal battery cell performance over the long term.
Webasto says it is by the industry’s side every step of the way from the outset through to commissioning and validation, ensuring integration of the solution perfectly into a customer’s system.
