KPIT Technologies, an independent software integration partner to the automotive and mobility ecosystem, unveiled its Sodium (Na)-ion battery technology at EXCON.
This battery technology promises to reduce import dependency on core battery materials. It has several use-cases for automotive and mobility, especially for electric two and 3-wheelers and commercial vehicles. It has promising applications in stationary deployments, such as UPS backups and grid storage, as well as in the marine and defence sectors, the press release noted.
The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research IISER Pune team led by Dr. Satishchandra Ogale, has contributed to material synthesis, characterisation and battery testing for this development.
Ravi Pandit, Chairman of KPIT said, “Our Sodium-ion battery technology is another testament to KPIT’s commitment towards the sustainable mobility ecosystem. We look forward to partnering with manufacturing companies to commercialise this technology globally.”
KPIT has a strong foothold in software development, integration and validation for Electrification programs for global automotive leaders. Additionally, KPIT has been pioneering sustainable and efficient energy storage system simulation, design, development and integration for over nine years.
