Long term success in the electric drive market requires game changing technology. A123Systems is currently one of the leading manufacturers of high power lithium ion batteries in the world. We have already demonstrated our ability to effectively compete in the cordless tool market. This high volume market provides economies of scale that are key to driving cost reductions across future automotive markets, including HEV and PHEVs.
In the hybrid market, our product’s unique characteristics address the barriers that currently limit HEV and PHEV adoption. In addition, A123Systems’ manufacturing model enables large volume production (millions of cells annually) at high quality and price-performance.
A123Systems’ Automotive Class Lithium Ion™ technology uses proprietary Nanophosphate™ material that offers numerous features for hybrid applications, including an enabling combination of power, abuse tolerance and life.
