InoBat partners on battery cell solutions for automotive and aviation fleets

InoBat and Poggipolini have today signed a strategic partnership in electrification and battery cell R&D for automotive and aviation fleets.

The Slovakia-based EV battery supplier is joining hands with Poggipolini – an Italian technical consultancy with manufacturing capabilities across industrial, automotive, motorsport, aviation and aerospace – via a memorandum of understanding to develop electrification solutions in the automotive and aviation sectors.

The two are aligning strategic interests to increase product development for battery module and pack design solutions, combining Poggipolini’s lightweight components and InoBat’s high-density cells to drive fleet electrification.

The agreement will draw on InoBat’s experience across cell design, chemistry, tailored performance, cell-to-module integration and prototype manufacturing capabilities. Likewise, Poggipolini will offer expertise across lightweight automotive components, digital solutions, special manufacturing processes and 3D printing competence.
