Agreement Date:
Mar 4, 2025 - Jun 30, 2025
Description:
The adoption of electric transportation in Canada as a sustainable alternative is facing many barriers including range anxiety in varying climate conditions, safety, lifetime, and fast charging which are common in different electric vehicle (EV) market segments, including commercial (light/heavy), passenger and aerial/marine vehicles. These challenges are mainly related to Li-ion battery limitations in which temperature is one of the dominant operative variables. The goal of the project E-Motiv is to complete the development of an innovative battery module including a novel battery thermal management system and a pilot manufacturing line to produce it. The project consortium is formed by the Calogy Solutions team, BRP, and Westward Industries. The partnership of an innovative start-up with expertise in the Li-ion battery technology and thermal management with a recreational vehicle manufacturer and a commercial light EV manufacturer ensures the success of the next phase of the project by reducing technological/manufacturing risks for the partners. Both partners will act as customers and user-validator of the TGP (for BRP) and battery pack (Westward Industries).
