Distinguished Cell Expertise in the Group

Dr. Fabian Wohde Cell Expert at Voltabox

"

On paper, lithium-ion technology has been convincing right from the start. However, after we have installed numerous Li-Ion-based systems in the market over the past few months, the strengths of the cell chemistries we use are also evident in practice. Lithium-ion battery systems impress with their flexibility, high charging rates, long service life and massive advantages in terms of total cost of ownership". "

Li-Ion Battery System Supplier for Defying Applications

  • Voltabox is a pioneer in the electrification of industrial applications. In 2018, the Group expanded its solution portfolio in order to open up further mass markets in the future.
    • Mindset focus on applications (authentic added value solutions)
    • Exceptional integration power (experience in automotive interfaces)
    • Superior realization processes (short time-to-market with modular kit)
