contributing to the nationwide “Schaufenster Elektromobilität” initiative with a project that aims to demonstrate the possibilities of an automated production line for Li-ion battery modules. Li-ion batteries are the core components for any vehicle that features increasing electrification. At the planned pilot production line in Hannover, Germany, new production techniques and As a leading provider of automotive batteries, Johnson processes will be developed and demonstrated. Based Controls is a part of the Hannover-Brunswick-Göttingen- on these, prismatic Li-ion cells can be assembled into Wolfsburg metropolitan region. Johnson Controls is battery modules in an efficient way.
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. The German
