Electrovaya will provide its Infinity lithium-ion battery systems to assist Janus Electric in its quest to transform the diesel-powered heavy-duty trucks to zero-emission electric trucks. The peculiarity of such battery systems is that they are changeable.
“We are excited to partner with Janus Electric, a recognized innovator in sustainable transportation,” said Dr. Raj DasGupta, CEO of Electrovaya.
The company says heavy-duty trucks are specifically hard to electrify and demand excellent battery technology, and that is what Electrovaya seeks to offer. Electrovaya has an offer of promising industry-leading cycle life, safety, and performance in harsh operating conditions using its proprietary battery technology.
“This agreement with Electrovaya provides Janus with access to high-quality, scalable battery technology that meets the rigorous demands of freight and logistics operations,” said Ian Campbell, CEO of Janus Electric. “Together, we are taking a major step toward decarbonizing the heavy transport industry with swappable lithium-ion battery systems.”
Janus Electric specializes in the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles. In addition to converting conventional diesel lorries into electric lorries with replaceable batteries, Janus Electric also offers the appropriate charging infrastructure and fleet management software.
