- Plant to support manufacturing of low-voltage supercapacitor systems optimized for pairing its advanced domestically made AGM batteries
- Strategic step in building a resilient and secure domestic supply chain for advanced supercapacitor technology
- Investment being considered in states where Clarios currently operates
Clarios, a world leader in cutting-edge energy storage solutions, announced that it is looking at potential sites in the United States for a next-generation technological campus that will be centered on the manufacture of innovative supercapacitor systems.
Advanced military technology, artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, and next-generation American car platforms are just a few of the cutting-edge uses for supercapacitors, a cutting-edge energy storage technology. Supercapacitors are now mostly made in China, with very little produced in the United States.
Advanced low-voltage energy storage systems that can produce high-power bursts are required for next-generation vehicle platforms. For safety-critical car operations like steer-by-wire and chassis stability systems, low-voltage supercapacitor solutions are perfect. When combined with cutting-edge, domestically produced Clarios AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries, the combination provides vital power redundancy along with increased safety, performance, and dependability.
“The innovative pairing of our supercapacitor technology and market leading AGM batteries is the ideal solution for the auto sector and beyond,” stated Mark Wallace, CEO, at Clarios. “This announcement expands our American manufacturing capabilities to serve our customers with cutting edge technology and help secure supply chains in the U.S.”
Beyond mobility, Clarios anticipates that its supercapacitor solutions will find long-term use in high-demand industries like as artificial intelligence data centers, grid, industrial, and defense applications.
According to Clarios’ $6 billion U.S. energy manufacturing investment plan, which includes $1 billion set aside for next-generation technologies, this announcement is the first step in onshoreing a local supercapacitor supply chain. Clarios is pleased to use federal advanced manufacturing tax incentives and executive directives from the Administration to spur innovation and generate American employment.
Clarios anticipates announcing a location later this year after carefully evaluating site choices in the states in which it operates.
