FPT's 37-kWh battery pack dives into marine market

FPT Industrial formed its ePowertrain department in 2018 and since has developed a range of electric drivelines, battery packs and battery management systems (BMS) targeting on-road commercial vehicle markets. Now the company is taking its ePowertrain portfolio to the water, announcing the entry of its eBS 37 EVO battery pack to the marine sector.

The new 37-kWh battery pack that FPT Industrial initially developed for light commercial vehicles and minibuses incorporates NMC 811 lithium-ion technology in 96s2p cell configuration for effective energy density (>140 Wh/kg) and depth-of-discharge (95%). The company claims the design results in reduced battery weight, at 260 kg (573 lb).
