Improving efficiencies in industrial mass transport through electrification
As electrification continues to develop, industries worldwide are taking steps to achieve their net-zero ambitions and targets. However, industrial mass transport's capability to implement electrification across operations is limited due to outdated battery technologies. As a 24/7 industry, time spent charging mass transport vehicles equates to money lost, but emerging innovative chemistries are available that have the potential to deliver increased efficiency, electrify more vehicles within fleets, and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon industry.
How can XNO® drive the electrification of fleet operations
Echion’s innovative niobium-based XNO® anode material provides unique characteristics that make electrification of heavy-duty transport vehicles possible. XNO® achieves a unique combination of high safety, extreme fast-charge and discharge capability, high energy density, and a cycle life of more than 10,000 cycles.
What separates XNO® from more commonly used materials such as Lithium Titanate Oxides (LTO) is its ability to achieve up to 180% of the energy density of traditional LTOs. This allows operators to access a battery material with the significant energy density required to electrify industrial vehicles without compromising on the size and weight of the battery.
Niobium as a mineral is neither expensive nor scarce, and doesn’t require intensive mining practices to access it, giving operators access to reap the benefits of the safest, fastest charging, and most environmentally friendly anode materials available on the market today. Further benefits of utilising XNO® include:
Safe and complete super-fast charging in under ten minutes, reducing vehicle downtime and money lost
A long life of more than 10,000 cycles to keep crucial resources on the road and increase ROI
Market-leading safety capabilities, even when operating in extremely hot or cold temperatures
Up to 180% of the energy density of alternative fast-charging battery chemistries
A carbon footprint 2.5 times lower¹ than lithium titanate oxide (LTO) at cell level
Available at scale through Echion’s partnership with CBMM, the world’s leading supplier of niobium
XNO® is a proven chemistry engineered explicitly for use in heavy-duty industrial vehicles. The combination of cycle life, superfast charging and safety leads to uniquely high operational efficiencies and record-low total ownership cost, enabling end users to electrify heavy-duty transport and industrial applications sustainably. From rail, trucks, planes, boats, HGVs, buses and delivery vans, XNO® provides outstanding performance to electrify the industry.
