PARIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory news:
Expected power (FR0014005SB3 “ FORSE), an expert in smart battery systems for sustainable electromobility, and Letenda, a Montreal-based zero-emission bus manufacturer, announce that Letenda’s innovative Electrip zero-emission buses will be equipped with Forsee battery systems Power. Forsee Power will supply its ZEN PLUS high-energy battery systems to be installed in vehicles specifically designed for electric propulsion.
Letenda’s Electrip will be presented at the Ontario Transportation Expo in Canada from April 15th to 17th.
Letenda and Forsee Power accelerate sustainable and zero-emission urban transport
Designed in the province of Quebec, Canada, the 30-foot (9-meter) Electrip Letenda model is optimized to withstand the rigors of North American winters. Its innovative design makes it a 100% zero-emission electric vehicle that is safe, reliable and highly accessible, marking a significant advance in the field of green public transport.
Letenda has chosen to equip its electric buses with the ZEN PLUS battery system, an advanced energy storage solution developed by Forsee Power. The system applied to the Electrip is composed of four ZEN 82 PLUS packages, which provide a usable energy capacity of 308 kWh allowing up to 300 km (186 miles) of autonomy. Forsee Power’s lightweight batteries combine with the electric-engineered features of the Electrip for an incredibly efficient vehicle.
An industry pioneer, Forsee Power stands out as the first non-Chinese battery manufacturer in the bus market, having equipped over 3,000 electric buses and collaborating with a dozen bus manufacturers around the world. Many of these leading manufacturers have already integrated the ZEN PLUS solution, specifically designed for 100% electric heavy-duty vehicles, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability.
This strategic partnership between Letenda and Forsee Power illustrates their joint commitment to a greener future and represents a further step towards a world where public transport is environmentally friendly, efficient and adapted to today’s needs.
ZEN PLUS achieves R100-3 certification and is Buy America compliant
The ZEN PLUS battery system has achieved the latest R100-3 certification and is fully compliant with Buy America requirements. This significant development positions the ZEN PLUS as the best choice for the North American electrification process.
The ZEN PLUS system features a high-performance liquid thermal management system designed to operate efficiently in all climate zones, even the most extreme. This ensures optimal performance and longevity, regardless of environmental conditions. Furthermore, the use of NMC lithium-ion cells allows the ZEN PLUS to offer an extraordinary cycle life of up to 5,000 charging cycles, significantly increasing the total cost of ownership (TCO) and making it an ultra-competitive option on the market.
With an industrial facility located in Columbus, Ohio, Forsee Power is strategically positioned to meet the growing demands of the North American market. This site not only highlights the Group’s commitment to local manufacturing, but also ensures that ZEN PLUS battery systems meet rigorous Buy America compliance standards, further strengthening Forsee Power’s position as a key player in the battery arena. electrification of vehicles.
